Jordan Pickford to make 18th World Cup appearance for England against Norway

Jordan Pickford will make his 18th World Cup appearance for England when the team faces Norway in the quarter-final in Miami, surpassing Peter Shilton's record of 17 appearances. The 32-year-old Everton goalkeeper has started every match in the tournament so far.

England advanced after a 3-2 victory over Mexico in the round of 16 at the Azteca, where Pickford made two saves from Raul Jimenez and commanded his penalty area after Jarell Quansah was sent off early in the second half.

Pickford has 89 caps for England since his debut against Germany at Wembley in November 2017. In those matches he has conceded 59 goals, kept 44 clean sheets and made two errors leading to goals, according to Opta. He has been England's first-choice goalkeeper since the 2018 World Cup, where the team lost to Croatia in the semi-final in Moscow.

England reached the final of the past two European Championships, with Pickford appearing in 14 matches at the tournament. England defeated DR Congo in the group stage in Atlanta before facing Mexico. Norway reached the quarter-final after beating Brazil 2-0 in the round of 16.

Former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson said Pickford has been under-appreciated. "I think he has been under-appreciated for Everton and England when you look at the numbers he's posting, the games he is playing and the number of clean sheets he has," Robinson told BBC News.
