Today's World Cup Schedule
Brazil, who finished 2-1-0 in Group C, needed a late winner to edge Japan in the Round of 32 and remains unbeaten, thanks in large part to Vinicius Junior's attack. Norway, who finished 2-0-1 in Group I, advanced past the Ivory Coast behind another goal from Erling Haaland, who is tied for second in the Golden Boot race with 5 goals.
Key Player to Watch: Brazil vs. Norway
While Brazil boasts a multifaceted attack, Norway's chances of success largely rely on the prowess of Erling Haaland, one of the best forwards of his generation. If Haaland can find openings in Brazil's defense, it could be enough to spark an upset, making him the most consequential player in this matchup.
Mexico vs. England: A Highly Anticipated Clash
Mexico, who has won all four of its matches without conceding a goal, returns to Mexico City for the Round of 16, riding momentum and a raucous, high-altitude crowd. England, also unbeaten, advanced behind Harry Kane's five goals after a Round of 32 win over DR Congo.
Player to Watch: Mexico vs. England
Along with Haaland, Kane is one of the best center forwards of his generation. Thus far in the tournament, Kane has been very effective in bailing England out of otherwise subpar performances. In this game, Kane will face the tournament’s best defensive team that will be highly focused on stopping him.
But even if Kane can be stopped from scoring, he can also be very valuable drifting back into midfield and helping create plays. If Kane struggles in this game, it could be a very long day for the Three Lions. On the other hand, if Kane can find the back of the net early, it will make life easier for England to deal with the crowd and the altitude the rest of the way.
