South Florida is hosting its sixth FIFA World Cup match with Norway taking on England, with kick off scheduled for 5 p.m. on Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium (which has been renamed Miami Stadium and stripped of all non-FIFA corporate branding for the duration of the five-week tournament).<\/p>\n

The Miami Herald will keep you updated on what is going on inside the stadium as soon as the gates open in this live updates blog.<\/p>\n

\u2018Sweet Caroline\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cSWEET CAROLINE!\u201d thousands of England fans belted in unison before kickoff at Hard Rock Stadium.<\/p>\n

The team\u2019s World Cup quarterfinal against Norway hadn\u2019t even started, but the crowd was already in full voice \u2014 not for England\u2019s national anthem, but for Neil Diamond\u2019s 1969 hit.<\/p>\n

Though \u201cSweet Caroline\u201d isn\u2019t England\u2019s official anthem, it has become an unofficial rallying cry since Euro 2020, when fans turned the song into a stadium tradition. Now, it echoes through the stands every time England takes the field.<\/p>\n

Norway fans swarmed Hard Rock Stadium in their bright red jerseys, and it seemed like they were playing a home game. Some fans wore giant Viking horns, while others preferred T-shirts with giant black stripes across the middle.<\/p>\n

One group of about 15 Norway fans jumped around and chanted loudly. But the person in the middle of the jubilant crowd wore a white jersey. It was Jensen Adeyanju, a 23-year-old England fan from North London.<\/p>\n

Even though he was the only England fan in the lively Norway crowd, he yelled as loud as he could to match all of the Norwegian fans\u2019 energy.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, it doesn\u2019t matter who you are around,\u201d he said. \u201cA lot of times, we\u2019ve been outnumbered playing South American teams. Being from London, England, we have to travel further. We\u2019ve been outnumbered. I love my country and it doesn\u2019t matter who\u2019s around me. I will support my country!\u201d<\/p>\n

Outside the stadium, four women in glittering white and gold costumes danced to lively Latin music. England and Norway fans joined in and a dance party quickly formed.<\/p>\n

But one Brazilian fan danced as if nobody was watching.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt should\u2019ve been us!\u201d Rosana Melau said as she waved a large Brazilian flag around.<\/p>\n

Brazil was eliminated by Norway on July 5 and would have played England today had they won. Fans like Melau carried on as if Brazil, a frequent World Cup contender, was still playing.<\/p>\n

England captain Harry Kane confirmed that he played golf with President Donald Trump when he was asked about it during a press conference Friday ahead of Saturday\u2019s World Cup quarterfinal match against Norway at Hard Rock Stadium.<\/p>\n

Trump had revealed earlier in the week that the two played a round of golf together, saying: \u201cI think Kane is a great player. I played golf with him and I like him a lot. He\u2019s a good golfer, too. He\u2019s really great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kane said: \u201cI played alright, to be honest. We played about 18 months ago. He invited me to play when I was down in Palm Beach, so when the president invites you somewhere, it was a pretty surreal experience just to meet him and obviously play golf with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis golf\u2019s pretty good, to be honest with you. I hope I can play golf as good as him when I\u2019m his age. Unique experience, for sure. I was just grateful that he invited me to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

It seemed only fitting that if England was playing a World Cup quarterfinal at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday, the celebrity guest list should include at least one rock star.<\/p>\n

And it did.<\/p>\n

Sir Mick Jagger planned to fly from London to Miami to watch England\u2019s 5 p.m. match against Norway. Jagger attended the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and 2014 World Cup in Brazil.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the launch of the new Rolling Stones album, \u201cForeign Tongues,\u201d in London on Thursday, Jagger said: \u201cThey\u2019ve got a good chance, but I\u2019ll never say we\u2019re going all the way!\u201d<\/p>\n

Jagger, 82, is a big sports fan, an Arsenal supporter, and friends with former England captain and Inter Miami co-owner Sir David Beckham. He appeared on Beckham\u2019s show, \u201cBeckham and Friends Live\u201d in May.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Beckham, he was on hand to greet England\u2019s team at its Friday training session, which was held at Inter Miami\u2019s training facility in Fort Lauderdale. He posed for photos with England captain Harry Kane and other players, and watched the training session with his sons, Romeo and Cruz.<\/p>\n

Beckham has been following England\u2019s World Cup run closely and posting on Instagram after each match.<\/p>\n

After the Round of 16 win over Mexico at Estadio Azteca, he wrote: \u201cA night to be proud of each and every one of the squad. Now that\u2019s a performance. WOW. There was no other way of winning this game than that\u2026absolutely brilliant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kane expressed his gratitude for Beckham\u2019s support at a press conference at Hard Rock Stadium Friday evening.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe just wished us luck. After most games, he messages me and we stay in touch,\u201d Kane said. \u201cHe\u2019s obviously a big England fan. We know how much it meant for him to play for England and be captain. He was there to support us. We were obviously using his home, the home he\u2019s built, so we appreciate him doing that for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meet the kids that will escort the players in today\u2019s match<\/p>\n

A crowd of elementary school students flipped through Adidas shoe boxes, hunting down their sizes, then picked out jerseys and shorts \u2014 gearing up to hold hands with some of the world\u2019s brightest soccer stars.<\/p>\n

At Earlington Heights Elementary, the 22 students selected to walk hand in hand with Norway and England players at the FIFA World Cup quarterfinal match at the Hard Rock Stadium (rebranded as Miami Stadium for the World Cup) met up hours ahead of Saturday\u2019s match. With one hour to collect their gear and pack the school bus taking them to Miami Gardens, the kids hustled to get ready to make their World Cup debut.<\/p>\n

What to know about today\u2019s match<\/p>\n

After five World Cup matches involving South American teams, South Florida will be treated to what should be a riveting All-European quarterfinal as England faces Norway at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday at 5 p.m.<\/p>\n

The game features a showdown between Norwegian star Erling Haaland and England captain Harry Kane, both of whom have been in top form and are chasing France\u2019s Kylian Mbappe and Argentina\u2019s Lionel Messi in the Golden Boot race. Haaland has seven goals and Kane has six, while Mbappe and Messi lead with eight.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s up with the weather?<\/p>\n

Team Norway chef ships in 660 pounds of salmon, trout<\/p>\n

Team Norway chef Aron Espeland, leaving nothing to chance, had 1,276 pounds of food shipped from Norway to the team\u2019s base camp in Greensboro, North Carolina, for the six weeks they are in the United States, including 660 pounds of Norwegian salmon and trout, 220 pounds of halibut, 176 pounds of Norwegian brown cheese, and 220 pounds of Jarlsberg cheese.<\/p>\n

He stressed that it is not lack of confidence in the quality of food in the United States, but rather, wanted Norway\u2019s players to eat food with which they are accustomed.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the match between Norway and England in the FIFA World Cup quarterfinals, Norwegian fans took over Miami Beach to perform their now viral \u201cViking Row,\u201d where they drop onto the ground and move their arms as if rowing a boat through water. On Friday, hundreds of Miami locals joined Norwegians to help row their team to victory on Ocean Drive.<\/p>\n

The Viking Row, an homage to Norway\u2019s Viking ancestry, mirrors the energy of soldiers arriving to shore, ready for battle. A more recent phenomenon for Norwegian fans, the chant was first used in March before Norway began playing in the World Cup. Now, a social media sensation, fans from all over the world have fallen in love with Norway\u2019s battle cry.<\/p>\n

Norway in South Florida<\/p>\n

The Norwegian national team, which has captivated World Cup fans with superstar Erling Haaland and the synchronized Viking Row chant, landed in South Florida on Monday and trained in Fort Lauderdale on a sweltering Wednesday afternoon in preparation for Saturday\u2019s quarterfinal against England at Hard Rock Stadium.<\/p>\n

Players were spirited, despite the heat, clapping, cheering and singing at the start of training session at Inter Miami Stadium (formerly Chase Stadium) in Fort Lauderdale.<\/p>\n

Can England stop Norway\u2019s superstar?<\/p>\n

It is tricky and arduous to try to contain Erling Haaland, as Norway\u2019s World Cup opponents so far can attest.<\/p>\n

The towering, explosive striker is second in the Golden Boot race with seven goals, tied with France\u2019s Kylian Mbappe, just behind Argentina legend and Inter Miami captain Lionel Messi. And he scored those seven goals in one game fewer than the other players, as he was rested in Norway\u2019s final group stage match.<\/p>\n

But, if there is one team that might be able to figure out how to neutralize the prolific Norwegian striker it is England, which plays Norway in the quarterfinals on Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium (5 p.m., FOX, Telemundo).<\/p>\n
