FIFA World Cup 2026: The FIFA World Cup 2026 has now reached the last day of the quarter-final stage, with the last two semi-final spots still up for grabs. To earn a place in the last four, England, Norway, Argentina, and Switzerland will leave no stone unturned.All eyes will be on Harry Kane and Erling Haaland as England prepare to lock horns with Norway in a World Cup quarter-final in Miami on Friday (July 11, 2026), in a mouthwatering battle of elite sharpshooters. The teams are competing for the chance to face either reigning champions Argentina or surprise package Switzerland in the semi-finals.Riding high on confidence, Kane once again emerged as England's hero, dragging his teammates through an attritional last-16 meeting with Mexico at the Estadio Azteca. They won 3-2 despite having a man sent off. The Bayern Munich forward has scored six goals to fire the Three Lions into the quarter-finals.Haaland has appeared to enjoy himself ever since he touched down in the United States, smashing in seven goals that have carried Norway further than ever before. Their run, which included eliminating Brazil, has been accompanied by their fans' joyous rowing celebration that has turned venues across the US into giant human Viking ships.Kane described 25-year-old Haaland as "a beast" but insisted he and the Manchester City striker have contrasting styles. England were boosted by the return to training on Friday of the influential trio Declan Rice, Marc Guehi, and Reece James, who have been dealing with illness and injury.The other crucial quarter-final clash will see Lionel Messi’s Argentina bid to become the first country since Brazil in 1962 to win back-to-back World Cups. Argentina are riding an 11-match unbeaten streak in the tournament. They have scored multiple times in each of those games, tied for the longest streak in World Cup history.Switzerland, in the quarter-finals for the first time since hosting the tournament in 1954, have scored nine goals over their five matches while conceding just three. They are coming off a scoreless draw against Colombia, which they won 4-3 on penalty kicks. Switzerland will be without productive midfielder Johan Manzambi, who racked up three goals and two assists in their first four matches of the event. He will miss a second straight match because of a knee injury.The road to the top four doesn't seem to be easy for Argentina, as they were pushed to breaking point first by World Cup debutants Cape Verde and then by Egypt. Lionel Messi, who turned 39 during the group phase, has once again been the talisman for the South Americans, his genius repeatedly getting his team out of tight spots.FIFA World Cup Quarter-finals Watch Norway vs. England – Miami Stadium (5 p.m. ETWatch Argentina vs. Switzerland: TBD vs. TBD – Kansas City Stadium (9 p.m. ET)How to watch FIFA World Cup 2026 live in the USChannels: FOX, Fox Sports 1, Telemundo, Universo, Fubo, YouTube TV, and HuluStreaming: Fox One, Peacock, DirecTV, FuboHow to watch FIFA World Cup 2026 live in CanadaChannels/Streaming: TSN, CTV, and RDS
