The Athletic FC Podcast · How do England stop Erling Haaland? · 10 Jul 2026 podcast

Yeah, he'll probably still want to play.

Yeah, definitely.

And I'm very familiar with the Reece James psychodrama also, fitness wise.

It's just that entire area of the pitch is hugely concerning for England.

I don't think they've defended well for any sustained stretch of this tournament, really.

Apart from, you know, backs to the wall against Mexico in the last 15, 20 minutes in a siege situation, that's not sustainable over a whole game in the matches they need to win in the rest of this tournament.

I think it's a worry that regardless of gaze fitness, they don't seem to have a centre-back partnership that you can just write in in pen and just go, those are our two best centre-backs.

Those are not just individually, but together.

And they're going to play every single game.

It has been changing.

And when you add in the uncertainty around the fullbacks, there is a lot of scope for Norway to have real joy in this game.

And right back has been the biggest single discussion point because of James' fitness.

And you look at Norway's talent in that area of the pitch.

Antonio Neus has already scored an excellent goal in this tournament.

Andreas Schelderup came off the bench to set up two goals to give the ball to Haaland twice, exactly where he wanted it against Brazil.

And that's why I think this is such a tight game because England are extremely dangerous and I think their attack is as well balanced as it's been at any major tournament in my lifetime, honestly.

But the defence is a huge worry.

The Athletic FC Podcast · Argentina are inevitable + Ornstein on Man United transfers · 8 Jul 2026 podcast

Not as rested as I would feel if I'd given Switzerland-Columbia a miss.

Ah, yes.

I did at one point think about setting an alarm for the penalties and just going to bed for about an hour.
