00:00Can England stop Erling Haaland? Well, the numbers tell an interesting story.
00:04His battle with Gabriel in the Premier League has been raging for a few seasons now and he got the
00:08better of him versus Brazil. But how's his record against England's centre-backs? For starters,
00:13he's faced Aston Villa's Esri Conce five times, scoring once and winning just one of those games.
00:18Not bad. His record against Danburn may read just one goal in the last six. However, none of those
00:23games have ended in defeat for Haaland, which is slightly worrying. And finally, teammates since
00:28January, Mark Gay has faced the big Norwegian four times, conceded seven goals and never ended up on
00:34the winning side. That is terrifying. At this point, I think England will have to rely on John Stones
00:39knowing Haaland's game intimately from training at Manchester City. But even then, knowing what he's
00:44going to do and stopping him are two different things entirely. He's currently on a streak of
00:50scoring in 14 international games in a row with 27 goals in total in those 14 games. He also has
00:57seven goals from 18 shots at this World Cup, showing the sort of ruthless efficiency that can hurt
01:02England in the blink of an eye.
