Football needs heroism, and Norway is this World Cup’s most moving dark horse. While the whole world’s gaze is fixed on England’s luxury squad valued at over 100 million in assets, I choose to believe in that group of tough men who came from near the Arctic Circle. Haaland is not human—he’s the AI finisher in the box; Ødegaard is a Nordic magician. They don’t need possession rate—only one lethal connection out of three counterattacks.

England is indeed strong, but they carry the psychological shackles of the “Golden Generation.” In every knockout match, the penalty shootout nightmare, the impatience amid stalemates, and Southgate-style conservative decisions are their Achilles’ heel. And Norway is under no pressure—every extra step is national glory. What I want to witness is this: when the match turns tight and tense, at the 80th minute, Norway’s winger sends in a cross; under the double-team pressure of two center backs, Haaland nods it in to break the deadlock. The Viking war cries will ring out across the sky. To hell with probability theory—football is round. I’m backing Norway to stay unbeaten within 90 minutes, and even to win outright!#预测世界杯挪威VS英格兰
