Norwegian forward Erling Haaland has expressed doubt regarding his national team’s ability to secure the 2026 World Cup title. Despite his skepticism about Norway’s own victory, he pointed toward England as a top contender for the championship.
These comments were made during the lead-up to the upcoming quarter-final match between Norway and England. Norway secured their spot in the final eight after a 2-0 victory against Brazil, where Haaland scored both goals. Meanwhile, England advanced following a narrow 3-2 win against Mexico while playing with ten men.
Addressing his country’s outlook, Haaland stated that the likelihood of a Norwegian win remains quite slim. He emphasized that certain teams are clearly favored, specifically highlighting England. He jokingly suggested that the media should place all their expectations on the English squad.
