In this World Cup Special episode of Tottenham – Home and Away, Graeme and Glen are joined by Kjetil from Norway Spurs to preview a huge England vs Norway World Cup quarter-final.
We discuss Norway’s incredible tournament so far, their golden generation, how far they’ve come since the long-ball days of the 1990s, and why this Norway side is about far more than just Erling Haaland. Kjetil gives us the Norwegian view on Haaland, Ødegaard, Sander Berge, the Brazil win, and what this moment means for Norwegian football.
We also look back at England’s dramatic win over Mexico at the Azteca, the late-night viewing pain, Tuchel’s in-game management, Dan Burn and Jed Spence’s impact, and whether England are stronger in attack than defence heading into the Norway game.
There’s also discussion around Argentina’s chaotic win over Egypt, VAR and refereeing inconsistency, Trump’s interference around the USA red card, FIFA and Infantino, Belgium knocking out the USA, South American teams struggling, Cape Verde’s fairytale, Mexico fans, and the wider fan experience around the tournament.
Finally, we preview England vs Norway properly: Haaland vs England’s defence, Kane vs Norway, Ødegaard’s supply line, Sander Berge’s role, Miami heat and possible thunderstorms, and predictions for what could be a brilliant — and very tense — quarter-final.
