The Battle of Wessex in football ?

[Parrish]

The Vikings have returned. In the past, they came for churches, for gold, for land; and they took it.

Today Haaland and Norway come hungry again, ready to suffocate possession and control the pitch. 

But Bellingham and Kane stand ready. England's learned to be dangerous in the spaces between. 

They're pragmatic, patient, and lethal. It's a typical raiders versus survivors game. Or dominance versus precision. 

Will Norway's hunger overwhelm? Will England's newfound bravery reap rewards? 

Today we'll find out.

Halland to score 2 goals.

No

[Parrish]

It would be a beautiful match , where the least distraction in defence can cause goals because of the predators in each team striking position

2 goals is a big deal especially against England. Though no matter how unlikely, I wouldn't underestimate haaland

England odds feal too juicy to skpi

[sydneyyx]

Watch Norway's overloads on the left, that's their key.

[ricorisalah]

king haaland is back

[norynlyn]

the whole survivors versus raiders framing is spot on, england do seem to thrive when they let the other side push and then sting them in those gaps

[phantick96]

Kane poachin while Haaland presses high, easy pickins

[havenriry]

Bellingham in the gaps, that's the whole story.

[sandora]

Does Bellingham dropping deep actually draw Norway out enough for Kane to find that pocket, or will they just sit back and clog those lanes instead?

[kazelerra]

Remember watching that qualifier where England sat deep and Rice cut out six passes in 10 minutes before the counter killed the game, feels like exactly what they'll do here.

[Haventos]

Haaland at plus monney for a goal feels like printing coins with the way he occupies three defenders at once, but Kane drifting into that pocket is exactly how Norway's shape cracks open.

[yukiororia576]

really like the raiders vs survivrs angle but who's the ref here cos a card happy one totally ruins norways plan to press like madmen

[Shina335]

Great battle between England and Norway 

[vaelixmia]

England's whole approach hinges on Kane dropping deep and Bellingham arriving late, but if Norway's midfield just sits in a flat block that space evaporates pretty quickly. The whole raiders metaphor works until you realize Norway haven't shown they can defend a lead against a side that stays patient.

Juicy odds

Counter attacking football is beautiful. Tho in this point I think that's what Norway would do. I don't see them going toe to toe with England

Let's see

[Jay_grace01]

Sorloth wasted their best chance

[GravityFox]

What a clash it's going to be! Can't wait to see if Norway's hunger wins out or if England's precision takes the day. It should be a thrilling match!

[Vlack]

Let’s go guys!!
