England names starting XI for World Cup quarter-final against Norway, and crypto markets are watching Miami

England manager Thomas Tuchel has revealed his starting lineup for the World Cup quarter-final against Norway, set for July 11, 2026 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Kickoff is scheduled for 5 PM ET.

England topped Group L to secure their spot in the knockout rounds under Tuchel, who has leaned on a 4-2-3-1 formation throughout the tournament. Harry Kane is expected to lead the attacking line, with Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice also featuring prominently in the starting XI.

The squad is dealing with some disruption, though. Jordan Henderson has been ruled out with a broken arm, and Jarell Quansah is unavailable due to suspension.

Norway reaching the quarter-finals of a World Cup is genuinely unprecedented. This is the first time the Scandinavian side has gotten this deep in the tournament, powered largely by two players the Premier League knows very well: Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard.

The 2026 World Cup is co-hosted by the US, Mexico, and Canada and is the first edition to feature 48 teams. England hopes to reach the semi-finals for the first time since 2018.
