Post 2 — The Drama Angle 🇳🇴

Norway is back at the World Cup for the first time in 28 years.
Last time they qualified: 1998.
Now they arrive with: • Erling Haaland — the most feared striker on the planet • Martin Ødegaard — captain, conductor, creator • A nation that hasn't tasted this in nearly three decades
Meanwhile USA just fell 2-1 to Germany in their final warmup. Pochettino's squad "filled the hope tank" — but Germany reminded everyone the stakes are real.
Dark horse or pretender?
