Squeeze Italy out? 180 million Haaland Norway has 41 goals in 42 games, and the first in the group is expected to go directly to the World Cup

In the third round of the European group stage in the World Cup qualifiers, Norway defeated Italy 3-0, which is Norway's first victory over Italy in 25 years. Norway's "dual core" teamed up, and Odegao assisted Haaland to score a goal that locked the victory.

Currently, Norway has won all three games, leading the group first. This is undoubtedly a great opportunity for Norway to strive for the 2026 World Cup. There are 16 places in Europe, among which the top players from 12 groups in the qualifiers will directly advance to the World Cup, and the second team in the group will participate in the play-offs.

24-year-old Haaland is worth 180 million euros. The national team has 41 goals in 42 games, but has not participated in international competitions. The 26-year-old Ode has a net worth of 85 million euros and has never participated in the competition.
