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?
I mean, to OP’s point, if a team is that reliant on one single player (especially one who’s had injury issues in the past), then them missing out on the Euros isn’t that surprising.
