England will play Norway in the quarter-finals of the World Cup tonight, with a place in the semi-finals at stake. Thomas Tuchel's side are favourites but must contend with Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard. Victory would put England two games away from their first trophy in 60 years.
Who could England face in the semi-final?
If England beat Norway, their semi-final opponent will be either Argentina or Switzerland, who play each other in the early hours of Sunday. The semi-final is scheduled for Wednesday, July 15, at 8pm BST in Atlanta, which hosted England's Round of 32 win over DR Congo.
England last faced Argentina in a competitive match at the 2002 World Cup, winning 1-0. Switzerland lost to England on penalties in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals after a 1-1 draw.
Who could England play in the final?
Should England reach the final, they would face either Spain or France on Sunday, July 19, at 8pm in New Jersey. France beat Morocco in the quarter-finals, while Spain defeated Belgium. Their semi-final is on Tuesday, July 14, a day before England's potential match.
According to Metro's analysis, England have a strong chance if they overcome Norway, but must navigate tough opponents in the later stages.
