Norway's Haaland calls for media pressure on England before quarter-final

Norway striker Erling Haaland has called on the media to put pressure on England ahead of their World Cup quarter-final meeting. Haaland, who was born in Leeds while his father played for Leeds United, described England as one of the "clear favourites" to win the tournament. He told journalists, "I think all of you should put every single pressure on the English lads." Haaland has scored seven goals in four appearances at the tournament, including a double to eliminate Brazil, helping Norway reach the quarter-finals for the first time since 1998. He admitted being surprised by Norway's success, calling it "quite special." Haaland's popularity in the US has surged during the tournament, partly due to his off-field exploits, including a shopping trip for cowboy hats and boots in Dallas that gained over six million views on his YouTube channel in five days.
