I get nervous when there are high expectations. I’ll be happy if we make it through the group stage 😂
The group is tough, if we get out as first or second we can go all the way to the final, but both France and Sengal are difficult teams. So we either go home after ther group stages, or we'll win the whole thing. The odds for Norway winng in Norway is only 27.00
The best they're going is last 32 they won't reach last 16 they should remember they're new after a long time most times those teams don't come out of the group
In the world cup with all those games I think Sørloth will have to play striker too. Which is his natural position. Definetely if it goes well. Haaland doesn't have to play every minute.
The final? That's not serious. If we get to the quarter final I will say they have performed beyond expectations.
Norway -Scotland. In finals,, ends up in a draw ⚽👍❤,
As a dane I have no problem seeing Norway reaching the finals with the current team
Iraq is the best 🇮🇶💪🦁✌️🔥🤌win Iraq
Nusa is a big game player,CONFIDENT ,TALENTED and FEARLESS these players come alive when playing the top teams
Haaland alone can do NOTHINK 😂 he is not Messi or Christianio the X factors! Haaland need’s crosses good paaaes and tap in or heading that ‘a it 😏
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sorloth deserve his praise
