Jordan Pickford, England's goalkeeper, had a date with footballing history during the Three Lions' match against Norway at the FIFA World Cup, currently being held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Pickford became England's most-capped player at a World Cup after starting in coach Thomas Tuchel's lineup for the quarter-final clash against Norway on Saturday evening local time at the 2026 World Cup.
Pickford played his 18th match for England at a World Cup, claiming the record outright by surpassing former English goalkeeper Peter Shilton, who appeared in 17 matches for the national team at the tournament.
Overall, the match marked Pickford's 90th appearance for England, for the 32-year-old, whose international career began in 2017.
Pickford is now aiming to lead England into the semi-finals of the current World Cup, where they would face the winner of the match between Argentina and Switzerland.
