Norway had several chances of qualifying for the Euros but they never lived up to their expectations. Haaland is the best striker in the world and Odegaard is a top midfielder and captain, for both the national team and one of the best teams in the Premier League. Norway is still managing to feed Haaland, with an insane 27 goals. What gives, terrible tactics or synergy issues?
Odegaard has played for six [6] professional teams; he has only delivered in 1 of them. People calling him “one of the best in the world”, clearly only watch Premier League. He is superb with Arsenal, but as a Real Madrid, Vitesse, Real Sociedad and Norway national team player, he is subpar. I watched him when Norway faced Spain [a real opponent]: lost in the field, unable to driblble or link up to Haaland/Sorloth.
Erling is one of, if no the best player in the world, no doubt. He has proved himself again and again. Football sometimes has this kind of things: Sweeden had its most recen success…right when Ibra wasnt playing for them.
