Troost-Ekong Predicts England vs Norway in World Cup

William Troost-Ekong, former captain of the Super Eagles, predicts a quarter-final match between England and Norway in the 2026 World Cup. The match is set to take place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

England secured their place in the quarter-finals with a narrow 3-2 victory over co-host Mexico, despite Jarell Quansah receiving a red card. Norway, on the other hand, stunned pre-tournament favorites with a 2-0 win, thanks to a late double from Erling Haaland.

In an interview with Al Jazeera, Troost-Ekong expressed his belief that England will likely edge past Norway, emphasizing the competition between Harry Kane and Haaland. He does not anticipate a goalless draw, suggesting that it will be a real battle.
