At the People World Cup 2026, the Football Daily Podcast with John Murray.
Hello from Miami, Florida. I'm John Murray, and this is a Football Daily special to preview England's World Cup quarterfinal here against Norway, Erling Haaland, Martin Odegaard and all. The team that knocked out Brazil in the last round. We're going to hear from the England captain, Harry Kane. We're going to hear from the England manager, Thomas Tuchel. But Paul Robinson is sitting alongside me, as you so often have during the course of this World Cup, Paul. This is, I think, a fascinating quarterfinal, England against Norway.
John, it's special. It really is. England have been very lucky with the conditions that they've played in. The three outdoor games that they've had, it's poured with rain. It's been very much Manchester conditions and obviously the indoor arenas are air-conditioned. But tomorrow, it's going to be very, very different. It's very hot here, as we both know here in Miami. It's very hot. It's very humid. And they will face a difficult opposition in the weather. But, like you say, the Norwegian team are a very strong team. Premier League proven players that we know.
And in Miami, again, this is very different to anywhere else we've been. Where we're speaking to you from here... As we record this, it's a Friday night. And hundreds, thousands of Norwegian fans and England fans are pouring into this place. And it is Miami. We're next to the water. There are the sights and sounds that you would imagine from here. And it is an extraordinary place to come to. And to think that the World Cup match is taking place here is... I have to say, it does mess with your mind. England flew in here today. And remember, this is where England started this World Cup. warming up and playing the matches in Florida. So they're back in Florida. They trained up in Fort Lauderdale at the Inter-Miami coaching complex.
And the news was that Declan Rice, Mark Gay, Rhys James were all able to train. There were doubts about all of them, illness and injury, but all were able to train. So apart from Jordan Henderson, obviously, and the suspended Jarrell Kwanzaa, Thomas Tuchel has a clean bill of health. So, let us hear from the England manager.
How did Paul Robinson assess England’s prospects against Norway in Miami?
After the nail-biting drama of the wins against DR Congo and Mexico, I asked Thomas Tuchel tonight if he could assure the England football-watching and listening public this might be a smoother ride.
I think deep down they love the drama if it comes to a good end. They love the drama more than a boring win, 100%. Everyone does. so if it has a good end, you're absolutely right, it's nerve-shredding, and of course on the sideline as well, but we came out as winners both times, and I think we deserved the wins, but it was hard, hard work, it was nervy, and the emotional rollercoaster, very draining, so we had our times to digest, we had enough days to digest, and focus now on the challenge ahead, but no guarantees this will be the next tough one.
For this match, This is as far as Norway have ever gone into a World Cup. Whereas we know that the England squad, because of the recent tournaments, you've got a stack of experience of playing in the latter stages of tournaments, reaching finals. How do you make that count now?
Players need to make it count. I never played in a quarterfinal. For sure not as a player, so they will make it count. I think on a level that is maybe difficult to explain, we don't talk about this very much, but sometimes it's also nice if you experience something for the first time, like Norway, you just ride the wave and you overachieve and you overachieve and everything feels light, light, light. So this can sometimes help, but I don't feel that the pressure puts us down at the moment. I don't feel the players play with fear or with anxiety.
