England's Nico O'Reilly thinks Erling Haaland is playing mind games
Nico O'Reilly believes Erling Haaland is using "mind games" by calling England clear favourites for their World Cup quarterfinal against Norway. O'Reilly, a Manchester City teammate of Haaland, said keeping the striker quiet will be key, but stressed Norway are a strong collective team. Bukayo Saka will also face club teammate Martin Ødegaard in Saturday's match in Miami.
