Former Premier League striker Troy Deeney has shared his thoughts on England's upcoming quarter-final match against Norway. He believes the game will be tough, as England has struggled to break down well-organised low block teams in the past.
Deeney expects Norway to be a formidable opponent, unafraid to use set pieces to their advantage. He notes that Norway is a cohesive team with no fear, driven by their desire to make history, and boasts a talented player like Erling Haaland up front.
Despite expressing confidence in England's chances of winning, Deeney thinks Argentina would still be a tough opponent to beat in a potential semi-final match. He emphasizes that it's time for England to put in a strong performance and make their mark in the tournament.
England is currently ranked fourth among favourites to win the World Cup, according to bookmakers, behind Argentina, Spain, and France. The team will look to prove themselves in the quarter-final match against Norway.
