We’ve still got our own problems, with 3 individuals training away from the squad (The Sun). Rice, managing his hamstring injury (since Christmas!), but expected to play through pain. James, again recovering from his hamstring injury. Not known if he’ll play or be risked. Guehi is still playing through muscle fatigue(!), game by game. Expected to play.

Guéhi and James both 50/50 according to Twitter. Guess Spence and Stones slot in like for like. Gordon to keep his place for me

Isn't it a bit dangerous for them to be doing this? Shouldn't they be training or something? I mean, they wouldn't have known we were playing Norway until a few days ago so they must have shot it in the last 48 hours...

I'm in Norway for this. Staying in a hotel next to an Ice Hockey Arena which will be a huge fan zone. Will be interesting tomorrow

Could also be that the mind games have now kicked in and both will start come Saturday along with Rice. At least that's what I'm choosing to believe anyway

At Donington Park for the World Superbikes, with drinks included in our package; the bar opens at 11, so 10pm requires a bit of pacing!

Big screens showing the game tonight. 1998 Owen shirt hung up waiting. Bring it on I say, tonight could be special (again).

Especially if you are wearing a England shirt. Is it possible to pre book ambulances in Norway?

Norwegians have supported England in World Cup since 1998...until this one. It will be harmless fun and healthy rivalry. Not every crunch game has to be ID or The Firm.

It's a bit of a weird one this. I almost prefered our "underdog" status going into the Mexico away game, especially as a Brentford fan... felt a lot more of a natural place to be.

So far we've been good against Croatia and Mexico, 2 games where although on paper we're better... you could see going either way.

I'm slightly worried that we're expected to win this game and we wont deal with it.

If we go out against Norway it's seen as failure IMO, if we fall in the Semi's or Final it's acceptable. Pressures on!

Can’t wait for this 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 !
I’m in Crete so the match kicks off at midnight here.
My eldest son is in Norway, so he will be sending me updates of the atmosphere in Oslo.

Really hope for no delay and no extra time as I'm on a flight tomorrow and need to get up at 3am. Tomorrow is going to be a long day!

If it is delayed, will they put the ARG v SWI game back?

Is there talk of delays? Thunderstorm related again?

This is a 50/50 game where both teams can go into it thinking they have a great chance of winning.

The playing conditions in Miami will affect both teams equally where the majority of the players involved will be used to European conditions and both sides will be fully aware of the opposing team’s playing style making for a typical PL-style game.

In some ways this could favour England if they can play with more fluency and they possess more offensive options. The defensive matchup is intriguing with Haarland up against his teammates in Guehi and Stones.

It all makes for a very entertaining game with quality on both sides, not forgetting to hope that Kris Ajer has a good game, too, irrespective of the result.

I just hope we go for it and don't focus too much on Haaland or the weather!

Everything suggests we will, which is good. The worst thing would be to lose lamely!
 

QF3: Norway vs England - Sat July 11th 22:00 - ITV1

Surely not then, it’s Miami in summer, same temp every day! 😂
Yes. The scheduled KO time has shown no consideration to the welfare of players and fans alike.
FIFA only interested in $$$$$.

Do we think it's the best two strikers in the world playing tonight?

I don’t care how we win, way past that stage now

Messi and Mbappe on a plane at least. What is interesting is how very different each one’s game is from each other.

Not sure I'd call them strikers, definitely not in Messi's case.

The as-likely-as-anyone-else Golden Boot winner? Like I said, they are are all fantastic but so, so different from each other.

Dont go to bed. Works for me.

This is a 50/50 game
Current odds to qualify

England 1.52 = 66% = 8/15
Norway 2.9 = 34% = 15/8

So England are twice as likely to progress as Norway.
