Haaland Returns to Haunt England in Miami

Erling Haaland will face England in Miami on Saturday, the country of his birth where he could have worn the Three Lions jersey.

Erling Haaland, born in Leeds in 2000 while his father Alfie played for Manchester City, will face England in Miami on Saturday. The Norwegian star, who scored 7 goals in 5 tournament matches including a brace against Brazil, could have represented England but chose Norway.

England manager Thomas Tuchel once tried to sign Haaland for Chelsea, now he must stop a player who knows many England teammates from his time at Manchester City. Haaland's form has been extraordinary, with him scoring in every match and leading Norway to their first-ever quarterfinal appearance. syntagm.co.za
