Haaland's 7 Goals Killed Brazil. Now Pick the World Cup QF.
Norway knocked out Brazil 2-1 on July 5, with Erling Haaland scoring twice in the final 11 minutes. England survived a 3-2 war at 7,220 feet of altitude in Mexico City. The quarterfinal bracket is locked, fixtures run July 9-11, and the pick'em windows on Wanna open right now.
Who to Target in the Quarterfinals
Erling Haaland, Norway vs. England (July 11, Miami, 5 PM ET)
Seven goals, three multi-goal games, and a goal every 14 touches this tournament. That is the best conversion rate by any player with three or more World Cup goals in 60 years. England gave up twice in under two minutes to Bellingham at Azteca, and now they face a striker who scored twice in the final 11 minutes against Brazil.
Haaland anytime scorer is the anchor leg of any QF slip. Norway go from a massive upset to the biggest quarterfinal on the board, and he will get his chances.
Kylian Mbappe, France vs. Morocco (July 9, Boston, 4 PM ET)
Mbappe converted the only goal of France's R16 win over Paraguay to reach seven tournament goals, tying him with Haaland for the tournament lead. He holds the World Cup record for knockout-stage goals at 11. France are the tournament favorites and will have a full week of rest by Thursday's kickoff.
Morocco's defense is organized and will make France work for everything. But Mbappe is scoring at a pace that absorbs difficult matchups. Lock the Thursday entry with him.
Harry Kane, England vs. Norway (July 11, Miami, 5 PM ET)
Six goals in this tournament. Five of those in knockout matches. Kane scored 61 goals in the 2025-26 club season, winning the European Golden Boot. He converted from the spot against Mexico in the R16 and is operating with full confidence heading into Miami.
Norway just played 90 minutes of physical knockout soccer against Brazil. Their back line faces a second elite striker test in less than a week. Kane will get his spots. He is the production-certainty leg of the Saturday entry if you want reliability alongside Haaland.
Jude Bellingham, England vs. Norway (July 11, Miami, 5 PM ET)
Bellingham scored a brace in the first half against Mexico — two goals in under 90 seconds during a knockout match. England are carrying that momentum into the QF. He now plays at sea level in Miami with a full week of recovery. His ownership on Saturday entries will trail Kane's significantly, which makes him the value leg in any England-focused parlay entry.
Who to Fade
The public will load Mbappe anytime scorer for Thursday's France-Morocco fixture. Seven goals, historic knockout record, tournament favorites — the full narrative package. Entry volume on that specific prop will be high.
But Morocco shut down Belgium, Portugal, and Spain in sequence at the 2022 World Cup using a back-five that concedes almost nothing. This is a rematch of that semifinal, which France won 2-0. Morocco will disrupt France's rhythm and force Mbappe through 90 minutes of physical coverage. His anytime scorer prop carries real bust risk in this specific fixture at peak public ownership.
If you need France exposure on Thursday, picking France to win outright gives you the upside without the single-player concentration risk.
