Only if they cage Erling Haaland: the striker has seven goals in four games, co-leads the Golden Boot, and just knocked out five-time champions Brazil with a late brace. England reached tonight's quarter-final the hard way, beating Mexico 3-2 with ten men thanks to a Jude Bellingham brace. Kick-off is 10pm tonight on ITV1, and the winner meets Argentina or Switzerland in Wednesday's semi-final.
