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?
They are still a very young team and their peak will come around WC 2026–EC 2028. Also, beyond really two good players, the rest of the team is very bland. Football is a team sport and you need a team to function as a unit above all. The 1-2 big names will not do it alone. Their time will come.
