Saturday’s meeting between England and Norway will see two of the best strikers in the game battle it out.
Only one team can make it through to the semi-finals, with Harry Kane and Erling Haaland expected to have a huge say in which side makes it to the final four.
Heading into the game in Miami, Kane has racked up six goals at this summer’s World Cup, but Haaland narrowly edges the Englishman having scored seven.
Who is the better striker, Haaland or Kane? And why?
Do you agree with Michael Owen?
The two strikers are both trailing Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi, who have both scored eight goals in the tournament.
Naturally there is a lot of mutual respect between Kane and Haaland given the pair have both proven their quality over the years.
Despite this, Kane was still asked who was the better striker between himself and the Manchester City star.
Harry Kane thinks people should not compare him to Erling Haaland
Kane has the backing of President Donald Trump, with the American leader a big fan of the former Tottenham Hotspur striker.
However, it is Haaland who has earned himself so many new fans this summer through his personality shining on social media.
When asked who was the better striker, Kane responded: “That’s an impossible one for me to answer.”
“First of all, I think we are completely different players almost. I know we are both seen as strikers, but it is almost two different positions, if I’m totally honest.
“Erling has been incredible, his goal-scoring record. Physically, he’s a machine, he’s a beast. His finishing is at the highest level, and obviously, his goal-scoring record speaks for itself.”
Kane has even played golf with Trump during a trip to Palm Beach around 18 months ago.
“I see myself as a different player, although I score the same goals. I like to maybe touch the ball a little bit more, be involved in play a little bit more, but also can play as an out-and-out nine. I don’t think it is one to compare ourselves. I respect him a lot as a player and a fellow professional.”
The two strikers do not need to be compared this summer, with the world being shown just how good they are.
Performances of the levels being put in by some of the star players during this World Cup simply have to be admired and appreciated.
