Erling Haaland has playfully urged journalists to put every bit of pressure on England ahead of Saturday's World Cup quarter-final in Miami. The Norway striker, born in Leeds and starring with seven goals at his country's first World Cup in 28 years, said England are among the clear favourites and should be confident. England go into the tie without the suspended Jarell Quansah, whose red card against Mexico brought a two-match ban.
