      I wouldn't be too surprised. Norway have been one of best in form teams last 2 years. Real dark horses

        Sure, but they have some mediocre players though.

        This is more Brazil lost it, rather than Norway won/win it.

    Nyland has never played better, some Norwegian fans where even calling for his head after one of the group stage matches.

    He’s the best striker in the world and it’s not close

    1. Scapegoat Salah

      Best goalscorer in the world.

      Best striker is Kane no doubt, the Kaptain.

    The butterfly effect of having Bruno G take that pen instead of Cunha or Vinicius... mental.
