england's got this honestly. i remember when they shut down van dijk that one time, so haaland's just another tall guy running around. they'll pack the midfield and make him work for it.

england can't stop haaland, tried marking him tight in a pub match once and he'd've scored anyway probably. just accept the L and hope your keeper's having a good day.
England's setup needs to suffocate Haaland's space rather than chase him-aggressive pressing from midfield kills supply lines before he gets the ball. That's literally how City struggled most last season.
just don't let haaland run at your defense lol, mark him tight and maybe play two holding midfielders or something. honestly if england can't figure out how to stop one guy they deserve to lose.
England's defensive setup against Haaland is theater-pack the box and he'll ghost past on the counter anyway. It's not complicated, just execute the obvious.
england's real problem is they can't even stop their own midfield from leaking, haaland's just gonna run through that mess like it's a training cone. saw it happen live once, their defensive shape was embarrassing.
honestly england's got this, i watched them completely nullify haaland's space in the qualifier last year and he looked genuinely confused the whole time, like he'd never experienced actual defending before.
