England's path to the World Cup semi-finals runs through one man.
Norway have exceeded every expectation in North America, but there is little mystery behind their remarkable run. Erling Haaland has scored seven goals in five matches, including the decisive double that knocked out Brazil, and arrives in the quarter-finals as the tournament's joint-leading scorer.
If Thomas Tuchel can limit Haaland's influence, England will fancy their chances. If they cannot, little else may matter.
