frostra Posted 20 hours ago #2 Posted 20 hours ago Honestly, I think they've got a solid shot if they keep their defense tight, but that midfield needs to step up big time.
quilltha8 Posted 20 hours ago #3 Posted 20 hours ago Their counter-attacks are deadly when they click, but they’ll need Haaland to actually get service this time instead of just standing up top waiting.
Shredki Posted 19 hours ago #4 Posted 19 hours ago If the midfield actually shows up and feeds Haaland properly, they can definitely do it. That's been the missing piece tbh.
emberrel Posted 18 hours ago #5 Posted 18 hours ago tbh if Ødegaard finds his rhythm early, he can totally unlock that final third. Without that, it'll just be more of the same frustration.
Seleneon Posted 17 hours ago #6 Posted 17 hours ago If the defense holds and Ødegaard actually turns up from the start, I could see it happening. But consistency hasn't exactly been their thing lol
Ryxlyn Posted 16 hours ago #7 Posted 16 hours ago Honestly, if they survive the quarterfinal without one of those classic Norwegian defensive brain farts, they've got a real shot. The talent's there, it's the concentration that worries me lol
acer71jc Posted 14 hours ago #8 Posted 14 hours ago ngl if Haaland gets the service he needs, they might just surprise us ? but yeah consistency's gotta be better ?
ravenick Posted 6 hours ago #10 Posted 6 hours ago I once saw a lower rnked Norwegian side knock out a favorite just because the keeper had the game of his life.
Shredranda920 Posted 5 hours ago #11 Posted 5 hours ago My local team once reached a cup semi finaal purely because the star striker of the other side slipped on a wet pitch right before his penalty.
Seleneon Posted 5 hours ago #12 Posted 5 hours ago They can if someone other than Haaland decides to actually score for once lol
clotenast Posted 4 hours ago #13 Posted 4 hours ago That keeper comment from earlier got me thinking. Norway's defense isn't their issue really, it's the midfield linkup to Haaland that keeps breaking down under pressure.
frankiique Posted 4 hours ago #14 Posted 4 hours ago If Ødegaard runs the show and the odds stay wide enough, Norway could genuinely shock a few teams here.
Sophirelle891 Posted 4 hours ago #16 Posted 4 hours ago I feel like Ødegaard pulling stirngs is the only way it clicks rather than just praying for Haaland to muscle a goal from nothing. Whenever the midfield goes quiet Haaland just ends up chasing shadows and people act surprised he can’t score. Sort that linkup and they actually have a real shot I think.
phantixwyn Posted 1 hour ago #18 Posted 1 hour ago Watched them struggle until the press finally gelled against Slovenia.
0xsaintsultan Posted 1 hour ago #20 Posted 1 hour ago Norway moving to semi final is going to be hard but not impossible
