A BBC interview on July 11 previewed England’s World Cup quarter‑final against Norway. Manager Thomas Tuchel and captain Harry Kane sat with host John Murray, joined by former keeper Paul Robinson.

Tuchel said England still have "another gear" to find. He stressed the team is not yet at the same level as in qualifying, and that a new approach could make the difference. The 14‑minute talk highlighted his call for a tactical shift and a renewed focus on defensive solidity.

Kane highlighted the squad’s experience as a potential advantage. He recalled the high of the Mexico win and compared his own performance to Norway’s striker Erling Haaland. Kane argued that England’s all‑round quality, built on past tournament exposure, could edge the match toward the semi‑finals.

Robinson weighed in on player experience and the tactical edge England may hold. He praised Kane’s leadership, calling him a "superhero character", and underscored the importance of collective resilience as the team heads into the knockout stage.
