England Must Find Way To Stop Haaland, Rogers Says
England forward Morgan Rogers says stopping Erling Haaland will be difficult ahead of their 2026 World Cup quarterfinal against Norway, suggesting the team may need to cut off his supply rather than mark him directly.
England forward Morgan Rogers has stated that the Three Lions must find a way to stop Norway's Erling Haaland before their 2026 World Cup quarterfinal meeting on July 11 (early morning July 12), though he acknowledged it will be a difficult challenge. Rogers explained that England needs to manage the elite striker, who is familiar with top-tier league football and has already scored seven goals in the tournament. "Has anyone ever stopped Erling Haaland? I'm not sure they have, but we'll try," Rogers said in an interview. "He's an incredible player. What he does, the numbers he puts up—you know how good he is. We might have to try to stop the supply getting to him and the chances he creates, because he's so dangerous in front of goal."
