Norway and England take to the pitch this afternoon in one of the three remaining knockout stages of the opening round. This should be a low-scoring, highly competitive affair between two solid defensive teams. England comes into tonight's match ranked sixth in the world, Norway is ranked 11th.
The Norwegians won the World Cup back in 1995, England has reached the quarterfinal stages three separate times — most recently four years ago in 2011 when they were knocked out by France in penalties.
Both squads ended the group stages with impressive marks. Norway tied atop Group B with seven points and had a +6 goal differential in their three games, they did draw with Germany. England finished second in Group F, their lone loss coming to France.
With the total goals coming at 2 with some juice on the under, this one looks to be a close battle. Norway did a much better job during group stages on the offensive end, that could be the difference in tonight's match.
