frostra Posted Thursday at 05:45 PM #2 Posted Thursday at 05:45 PM 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 Thursday at 06:13 PM #3 Posted Thursday at 06:13 PM 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 Thursday at 06:51 PM #4 Posted Thursday at 06:51 PM If the midfield actually shows up and feeds Haaland properly, they can definitely do it. That's been the missing piece tbh.
emberrel Posted Thursday at 08:13 PM #5 Posted Thursday at 08:13 PM 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 Thursday at 08:57 PM #6 Posted Thursday at 08:57 PM 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 Thursday at 09:41 PM #7 Posted Thursday at 09:41 PM 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 Thursday at 11:41 PM #8 Posted Thursday at 11:41 PM ngl if Haaland gets the service he needs, they might just surprise us ? but yeah consistency's gotta be better ?
ravenick Posted yesterday at 08:21 AM #10 Posted yesterday at 08:21 AM I once saw a lower rnked Norwegian side knock out a favorite just because the keeper had the game of his life.
Shredranda920 Posted yesterday at 08:48 AM #11 Posted yesterday at 08:48 AM 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 yesterday at 09:16 AM #12 Posted yesterday at 09:16 AM They can if someone other than Haaland decides to actually score for once lol
clotenast Posted yesterday at 09:22 AM #13 Posted yesterday at 09:22 AM 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 yesterday at 09:53 AM #14 Posted yesterday at 09:53 AM If Ødegaard runs the show and the odds stay wide enough, Norway could genuinely shock a few teams here.
Sophirelle891 Posted yesterday at 10:02 AM #16 Posted yesterday at 10:02 AM 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 yesterday at 12:23 PM #18 Posted yesterday at 12:23 PM Watched them struggle until the press finally gelled against Slovenia.
0xsaintsultan Posted yesterday at 12:25 PM #20 Posted yesterday at 12:25 PM Norway moving to semi final is going to be hard but not impossible
Wrenynni Posted 3 hours ago #21 Posted 3 hours ago do you think it hinges more on their midfield actually keeping shape or just hoping haaland pulls a moment of magic out of nowhere, cos sometimes it feels like that second option is plan a b and c all at once
davidcrabby Posted 2 hours ago #22 Posted 2 hours ago ngl they def got a chance bro, but if teh midfield ghosts again it's wraps no cap ?
ravellia Posted 2 hours ago #24 Posted 2 hours ago Haaland dragged them through a qualifier once while the midfield was invisible.
