Norway last appeared at a World Cup in 1998, which means the 2026 tournament ends a 28-year wait. For a country that now has Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard, that absence had started to feel strange: two world-class club players carrying weekly headlines, while the national team remained outside football's biggest stage.",{"type":30,"tag":31,"props":43,"children":44},{},[45],{"type":35,"value":46},"The difference in this cycle was that Norway finally turned star power into qualification control. FIFA confirmed Norway reached the 2026 World Cup with a perfect qualifying record, winning all eight matches and finishing six points ahead of Italy. UEFA's qualifying statistics show the scale of the run: 37 goals scored, five conceded, and four clean sheets. That is not the profile of a team scraping through a weak path. It is the profile of a side that dominated its group.",{"type":30,"tag":31,"props":48,"children":49},{},[50],{"type":35,"value":51},"Haaland was the headline, naturally. FIFA reported that he scored 16 goals in the campaign, matching Robert Lewandowski's single European World Cup qualifying record from the 2018 cycle. His final statement was emphatic: two goals in Norway's 4-1 away win over Italy, the result that confirmed the return. For Haaland, 2026 will be his first World Cup. For Norway, it is the moment their most famous attacking weapon finally reaches the tournament he always seemed built for.",{"type":30,"tag":31,"props":53,"children":54},{},[55],{"type":35,"value":56},"But this Norway team should not be reduced to one striker. Odegaard gives the side its creative brain. At Arsenal, he has become used to receiving under pressure, setting tempo, finding final passes, and leading a team that expects to control matches. In Norway's structure, that matters enormously. Haaland can finish chances at a frightening rate, but Odegaard helps make those chances appear.",{"type":30,"tag":31,"props":58,"children":59},{},[60],{"type":35,"value":61},"The attacking depth is stronger than Norway's old stereotype suggests. Alexander Sorloth, Antonio Nusa, Jorgen Strand Larsen, Oscar Bobb, and other European-based players give the team more than one route to goal. Norway can attack early into Haaland's runs, use Sorloth as a penalty-box reference point, stretch games with wide speed, or let Odegaard pull opponents out of shape before releasing the final pass. The 37-goal qualifying return is the evidence that this is not just theory.",{"type":30,"tag":31,"props":63,"children":64},{},[65],{"type":35,"value":66},"Defensively, the five goals conceded across eight qualifiers are just as important. A World Cup will not be won by attacking reputation alone. Knockout football asks teams to manage set pieces, second balls, pressure spells, and emotional swings. Norway's physical profile gives them an advantage in duels, but their biggest test will be tournament maturity. This is the country's first World Cup since 1998, so the core has not yet lived through the specific pressure of World Cup knockout football.",{"type":30,"tag":31,"props":68,"children":69},{},[70],{"type":35,"value":71},"History gives the run a sharper edge. Norway's previous World Cup appearances came in 1938, 1994, and 1998, with the 1998 side reaching the round of 16. That remains the country's best World Cup finish. The 2026 team enters with more global star power than any Norway side in recent memory, but it still has to prove it can turn qualifying dominance into tournament resilience.",{"type":30,"tag":31,"props":73,"children":74},{},[75],{"type":35,"value":76},"Their group will test that quickly. Norway are in Group I with France, Senegal, and Iraq. France bring elite depth and title expectations. Senegal bring athleticism, tournament edge, and defensive toughness. Iraq will see Norway as a match where discipline and transition moments can create trouble. For Norway, the route to the knockout rounds likely depends on making their physical and attacking advantages count early, then staying compact enough against higher-level opponents.",{"type":30,"tag":31,"props":78,"children":79},{},[80],{"type":35,"value":81},"The realistic target is clear: get out of the group and push for a first World Cup quarter-final. That would already represent a historic step. But Norway's numbers suggest they should not think small. Eight wins from eight, 37 goals, five conceded, Haaland's 16-goal qualifying haul, and a six-point margin over Italy all point to a team with more than emotional momentum.",{"type":30,"tag":31,"props":83,"children":84},{},[85],{"type":35,"value":86},"This is why Norway's return feels like the start of a new golden age.

It is the ability to keep repeating actions until the opponent breaks.",{"type":30,"tag":31,"props":168,"children":169},{},[170],{"type":35,"value":171},"Julian Nagelsmann's side started with the familiar German logic of control through structure. Germany built from a high base, pushed numbers around the ball, and used their full-backs and wide players to stretch Curacao's defensive block. The aim was not simply to keep possession. It was to keep Curacao defending in motion: slide left, recover right, track a runner, close a half-space, then do it all again.",{"type":30,"tag":31,"props":173,"children":174},{},[175],{"type":35,"value":176},"That is where the tactical difference became clear. Curacao could survive individual moments, but Germany kept creating sequences. When the ball went wide, the next pass was often inside. When Curacao narrowed, Germany switched the point of attack.

Felix Nmecha scored in the sixth minute, giving Germany the perfect platform and forcing Curacao to play from behind before the match had settled.

Jamal Musiala scored shortly after the restart, giving Germany the fourth goal and removing the last serious tension from the match. Nathaniel Brown added another, Deniz Undav joined the scoring, and Havertz completed his double late on.

But Deniz Undav's contribution was just as revealing. His goal and creative involvement showed why Germany can be dangerous even when the match has already tilted. They do not have to rely on one fixed attacking pattern.

In matches like this, the captain's work can look routine because Germany have so much of the ball. But that routine is exactly the point. Kimmich helped maintain the rhythm, accelerate the switch when Curacao's block shifted, and keep Germany playing in the areas where the next chance could emerge.

A 7-1 win over Curacao does not automatically answer every question Germany will face later in the tournament.
