I'm half Norwegian and the first World Cup I watched was the last time they qualified, so last night was special, but now I don't know how I'll feel watching my two teams play each other! I guess it's a win/win as I definitely have a team in a semi!

Norway 2-1 Brazil
Erling Haaland became just the eighth European player to score in each of his first four World Cup appearances, and the first since Christian Vieiri for Italy in 1998.
He has also now scored in each of his last 14 competitive internationals overall, netting 27 goals in this run.
And he is the first player to score two goals in a World Cup match against Brazil since Toni Kroos and Andre Schurrle both did so during Germany’s 7-1 victory against them in the 2014 semi-finals.

Ezri Konsa finished the game at right-back, switched from the centre of defence to fill the gap left by Quansah's dismissal.
Quansah will be suspended for the quarter-final against Norway.
If regular right-back Reece James does not recover from the hamstring injury that has kept him out of England's last three games, could Konsa start on the right?
If so, could Newcastle defender Dan Burn start at centre-back, considering his past battles with Erling Haaland at club level, or is Tuchel more likely to go with Haaland's former Manchester City team-mate John Stones?

Dan Burn can do a job on Haaland in the quarter final. He has always been his equal in Newcastle games v Man City and doesn’t get bullied. Hope he starts the match.

All eyes were on Haaland and Arsenal defender Gabriel as they renewed the rivalry that has become familiar to Premier League fans.
The duo have shared several bruising battles in their club colours and this meeting on the international stage carried plenty of intrigue.
But their latest meeting took time to come to life.
Their first tussle did not arrive until after the half-hour mark and left Gabriel on the floor, while Haaland's only touch inside the box in the quiet first half only led to a tame effort that was comfortably gathered by Alisson.
As the game progressed, so did the threat possessed by Haaland.
The 25-year-old got ahead of Douglas Santos to almost slide in at the far post after a cross from Ajer in the 67th minute before the all-important moment 12 minutes later when he beat Gabriel to the key header.
And in a warning to England, Haaland then made a second all on his own to take his goal tally at this World Cup to seven from just four appearances.

How 'remarkable' Haaland lead Norway to win over Brazil
Erling Haaland's second-half double helped Norway stun five-time winners Brazil and book their place in the quarter-finals of the World Cup for the first time.
Brazil were left to rue Bruno Guimaraes' missed penalty in the first half as Haaland, who had a quiet game until that moment, stole ahead of centre-back Gabriel to meet a cross from Andreas Schjelderup and put Norway ahead in the 79th minute.
The Manchester City striker then sealed Norway's progress with a superb low drive from outside the box in the 90th minute.
Brazil were awarded a second penalty in the dying seconds of the game after referee Ismail Elfath deemed Leo Ostigard to have elbowed Casemiro and Neymar converted.
But it proved a mere consolation for Brazil, who exit the tournament before the quarter-finals for the first time since 1990.
Brazil 1-2 Norway
At this point it is worth clarifying what happened last night before England made it on to the Azteca pitch.
To those of you who went to bed early, Norway knocked Brazil out of the World Cup with a 2-1 win against Brazil in New Jersey.
And yes, you've guessed it, Erling Haaland scored both their goals.
So England's next opponents are of the Viking variety, in Miami on Saturday...

There is no doubt that England will need their leaders against Norway.
Happily, captain Harry Kane has already got his voice back after what he described as an "all-timer of an interview" that he was "killed about" by his mates back home.
Despite the ribbing, the Three Lions skipper says it was "worth it".

Jude Bellingham talking to BBC Sport about Norway in the next round: "It is still one game at a time. At the end of the day it is just a round of 16 win. In the quarter-final Norway pose a different threat, some that we know really well, some world-class players in there, so we will have to be ready.
"But my god, if you can't enjoy a night like this, just for one night, then I don't know what it's worth."
England will need their top performers to continue to fire, if they are to maintain the standard in the later rounds that they set in their 3-2 win over Mexico...
Jude Bellingham topped the BBC Sport player ratings at the Azteca Stadium and won the official player-of-the-match award.
His comments about the threats posed by England's next opponents are coming up...

BBC Sport Senior football correspondent on BBC Radio 5 Live from Estadio Azteca
In many ways the odds were stacked against England here [at the Azteca Stadium, against Mexico], despite having a far superior squad.
Moving forward, what those two results [against Mexico and DR Congo] will have done is instilled even more belief in the squad that they can go all the way here.
They've faced adversity and they've found the answers.

I want to believe that we can do it, especially after last night! Something tells me we have some bigger hurdles to jump though...I will be quietly optimistic!

Everyone who witnessed the drama and spectacle of England’s World Cup win against Mexico is now catching their breath – and not because of the altitude.
Thomas Tuchel’s side went up to 7,000 feet to hit the greatest of heights with one of England’s finest victories on a night of raw emotion, winning 3-2 to set up a quarter-final against Norway in Miami.
Jude Bellingham will rightly claim the main plaudits for his two goals and a blockbuster display, along with goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who gave the finest performance of his England career.
In truth, everyone played their part, especially after Jarell Quansah’s red card – including Tuchel, who got all the big calls right.
England supporters milling around the streets surrounding The Azteca were high on the elation of victory and on what they had just experienced in one of the world’s great sporting arenas.
The bandwagon now rolls on to the last eight against Norway, and the huge threat posed by Erling Haaland, whose two goals sent Brazil crashing out.
England must find a way to stop Haaland, but they know they have potent threats of their own in the shape of Bellingham and Harry Kane.
And having survived all that Mexico and The Azteca can throw at them, belief will now be surging through the England camp.
