Neville warns England against complacency as Haaland looms in Norway clash

England will face Norway in Miami on Saturday following their historic 3-2 victory at Mexico's Azteca stadium, where Jude Bellingham scored twice and Harry Kane converted a penalty despite going down to 10 men. Norway knocked out five-time World Cup winners Brazil in their last-16 tie, with Erling Haaland netting twice to take his tally to seven goals—joint-leading the tournament alongside Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé.

According to Sky Sports, Neville believes England should edge the contest but acknowledged the threat posed by Haaland's explosive threat. "It's tough to stop Haaland because he can be anonymous in matches; he doesn't touch the ball a lot but you know that he's explosive," Neville told Sky Sports News.

The former Manchester United defender identified set-piece vulnerability as a concern, noting England cannot drop deep when facing such a potent finisher. He praised England's defensive resilience in phases against Mexico but stressed the need to eliminate lapses that could prove costly. Neville also highlighted Norway manager's tactical boldness in substituting wide players at half-time, crediting the change with shifting momentum in their Brazil win.

Despite the optimism surrounding England's progression, Neville cautioned against complacency: "You can't drop back onto your goalkeeper with Haaland."
