Norway is Confident of Victory in the World Cup, Haaland So

Norway is now full of confidence in looking at the 2026 World Cup with Erling Haaland as their mainstay. The impressive victory over Brazil in the round of 16 has raised the enthusiasm and hopes of all the Norwegian people. Now, they are preparing to face England in the quarter-finals, where Haaland will be in the spotlight again. Haaland, who has shown brilliant performance by scoring two goals in the match against Brazil, is expected to be able to take his team one step further. In the Norwegian media, euphoria surrounds the news about their national team. "With Haaland in the squad, we believe that anything is possible," said one football analyst. In a viral video, you can see how all members of the Norwegian Armed Forces celebrated the victory with high fighting spirit. The celebration is a symbol of unity and support for the national team. A journalist from Dagbladet in New Jersey said, "I lost my voice. My t-shirt was soaked with sweat and beer. Now I'm part of something really big," he said excitedly. Ole Frøystad, the originator of the celebratory tradition among supporters, also expressed his belief. "After the match against Brazil, I felt tired, but to face England, I will be ready once again," he said.  In the context of the competition, Haaland is now one of the top scorers in the 2026 World Cup, alongside Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé, each with seven goals. Interestingly, this was the first time in World Cup history that three players scored seven or more goals in a single tournament. History records that in 1970 and 2022, only two players could score seven or more goals in one tournament, namely Gerd Müller and Kylian Mbappé. Now Haaland, Messi and Mbappé have recorded the same achievement, showing how competitive this World Cup is. On the other hand, England, led by Harry Kane, who now has six goals, also has the ambition to add to their goal collection. The match between Norway and England will certainly be an interesting duel, not only because of the individual qualities of each player, but also to determine who will go further in this tournament. With collective enthusiasm and high confidence, Norway is preparing to face a tough challenge in the quarter-finals against England. This is an important moment for them to prove that they are capable of competing at the highest level in world football. --- ## Related Articles 1.
