Noni Madueke has declared that England carry a genuine fear factor into their FIFA World Cup 2026 semi-final against Argentina, insisting it is the opposition who should be nervous — not Thomas Tuchel's side.

England reached the last four for the fourth time in their history after coming from behind to defeat Norway 2-1 in Miami on Saturday, with Jude Bellingham netting twice in extra-time to seal the comeback.

The Norway victory followed a 3-2 thriller against Mexico on their home soil and a hard-fought 2-1 win over DR Congo — matches in which Bellingham and Harry Kane combined for five goals between them.

Speaking on the latest episode of Lions' Den Connected by EE, Madueke was direct when asked about Wednesday's semi-final against Lionel Messi and Argentina.
