I know it's an obvious thing to say, but I think with these two teams, probably more so than they would against France or Spain or Argentina, where I think they'd be happy to play on the back foot, I think there will be a bit of a battle to keep possession of the ball.
I think England should be able to do that because I think they've probably got better players on the ball.
But the way that Odegaard played against Brazil, where he was playing almost as...
I mean, almost on top of the centre-backs, just playing 50 kind of short sideways passes to put Norway in control.
I think it's going to be an interesting tactical battle, actually, yeah.
Yeah, possibly.
I think the one thing I'd say about Norway, and this could be kind of famous last words, but I think in individual battles, I think you probably would favour the England players.
I think the quality England have got out wide.
And the fact that Tuchel is very, you know, we know what's going to happen after an hour.
He will switch the wingers, you know, two off, two on.
And you've got another two, you know, really quick players, whoever that will be.
I expect it will be the same Gordon and Saka to start again.
But I do think that could be England's trump card.
I think they've probably got a little bit more strength and depth.
That said, Norway's two wingers came on at halftime against Brazil and had a really big impact.
So it's tough.
I mean, obviously, two of them have decided already.
But of the four quarterfinals, this is the one I think is most in the balance.
I think it could and should be a really good game.
Yeah, I'm home on Sunday, potentially with a lot of very sad England fans.
