    Norway looking mediocre as fuck. Even if they get past this, Brazil will take them apart on Sunday.

    Pretty goal by Nusa. Gives them the boost they needed cause they were being outclassed for 38 mins.

    Great solo effort from one of the poachers.

    Another first round game that will end 1-1 that will go to penalty kicks

    I was just about to say Haaland has been very silent.

    Honorable effort from IC. Haaland was the difference in the end.

    Brazil figures to be too much for Norway, but... we shall see...

    If Germany had a striker with the quarter of the finishing abilities and instinct of a Haaland or Kane maybe they could have been less of a shithouse.

    Ugh

    Haaland is quite a bit younger so certainly him.

    Style wise even if they were the same age some teams might opt for Kane as he could fit their needs better. They're much different players even though they have a primary role.

    Norway will always have a chance as long as Haaland is on the pitch

    Kane is more skilled and complete. He can create on his own better and he's miles better as a playmaker. Haaland's ugly ass is more physically talented. Overall, Kane currently.

    For the future, obviously Haaland as Whiskey said.

    France just look too good at the moment. I do think you can get at them and score goals, but I just don't know how you stop the firepower they have up front.

    In fairness, that 4-1 win over Paraguay looks a lot better after the Germany result last night!

    They're gonna be tough to beat for sure. I picked him them even before the tournament started, but I didnt anticipate them being this dominant.

    Alright, bout to be tuned into the pre-show for Mexico-Ecuador. The atmosphere at Azteca is gonna be fuckin insane!

    Official prediction: 2-1 Mexico. They score the winning goal in extra time.

    I honestly think Norway are like a viper and Brazil are like an elephant. Rationale says the snake gers trampled but when you have Haaland you've always got a chance to get a few bites off and see what happens.

    I think Brazil make the semis before being knocked off by Argentina. Though this is far from their best ever iteration, they've been playing more cohesive than England (they're also much better suited to play in the US heat than England) and they figure to have too much talent for Norway. But yeah, Haaland can single handedly win or alter a game, so its no given.

    More delays coming this weekend, trust me. Lighting storms in the forecast all weekend around here.

    I dont expect France-Paraguay to start on time, and Brazil-Norway might not start on time either.

    I don't see the game that close where Haaland is the difference maker in the outcome.

    I think they'll be outclassed by Brazil. Its not like they were impressive today. Ivory Coast were the better side for most of it.
