What to watch for
Norway’s victory over Brazil in the last round confirmed their formidable presence in the tournament. With Haaland at the forefront and Ødegaard in midfield, along with options like Oscar Bobb and Andreas Schjelderup coming off the bench, Norway could turn their first-ever quarter-final appearance into a semi-final berth.
England showed resilience in overcoming Mexico at Estadio Azteca, but the squad needs to elevate its performance to reach the semi-finals. With the talent they possess, this is certainly achievable, though Thomas Tuchel’s tactical approach has not always led to fluid attacking displays.

What to watch for
With Lionel Messi in their ranks, Argentina has a fighting chance to defend the title they secured in Qatar three and a half years ago. However, the team known as La Albiceleste has appeared susceptible during their knockout matches, requiring a dramatic comeback from 2-0 down against Egypt to reach this stage.
In contrast, Switzerland secured a last-16 triumph over Colombia via penalties. Coach Murat Yakin might opt for a cautious strategy against Argentina, especially with Johan Manzambi sidelined due to injury. Switzerland’s best opportunity for victory lies in making this match a hard-fought battle.
