Norway striker Erling Haaland downplayed his team's World Cup aspirations ahead of their quarterfinal clash with England, stating their chances of winning the tournament remain "really low." Haaland, who has scored seven goals in five matches, believes the pressure is squarely on the shoulders of England, one of the perceived favorites.

The Manchester City forward, born in Leeds, acknowledged the personal significance of facing his adopted country and former teammates. He previously suggested England "stay humble" but now emphasizes confidence for the Three Lions while reiterating that "all the pressure is on England."

This relaxed stance from Haaland follows Norway's historic run to the quarterfinals, including victories over Ivory Coast and a stunning upset against Brazil in the round of 16. Haaland scored in both of those wins, contributing to a remarkable tournament for Norway, who are playing England in Miami.
