Honestly a great game from start to finish for me. Great start with an early offside goal. Soon after the penalty, with a great save from Nypan. Nypan had the game of his life i will take everything back i ever said about him, free agent currently as well. Vini was great, such a good player yet again. The trivela pass to Endrick in the second half had me smiling for a solid 30 seconds. The battles between Haaland and Gabriel were great as usual. Norway their midfield was incredible too, they dominated the midfield. Ødegaard specifically bossed the midfield. But who else than Haaland for Norway? And why not twice while he’s at it. He makes everything look so easy. He has scored in each of his last 14 games for Norway, has 7 goals in 4 World Cup games. First goal was already great, but that second goal was even better. What an incredible goal. Just get him a statue already, he’s 25 and already one of the most iconic Norwegians ever. Who would’ve thought that Brazil would eventually lose it all because their midfield is outclassed, i didn’t think it would be Ødegaard, Berg, and Berge to dismantle them completely though. Five games now between Norway and Brazil, the Norwegians are still unbeaten. Norway in the quarterfinals is absolutely fucking insane. I just love the emotion on their faces, even of Haaland who ive not seen cry before as far as i can remember lmao. Man of the match is not even tough, i do not care for Haaland scoring a brace. Nyland saved Norway on multiple occasions, with a penalty, with basic saves, and with one of the best saves of the tournament. So obviously it’s Ørjan Håskjold Nyland. That last penalty doesn’t even matter to be honest. Referee idiotic btw for needing a new kickoff as well.
