I updated my article about the World Cup history just before kick off 2026
Canada, Mexico and USA 2026 (Norway is back, but what is left of dignity and morale).
Norway is back at the World Cup for the first time since France 1998. This is four years earlier than my prediction from 2000. The only thing we can say for certain is that Italy will not knock us out this time. As written before, Italy is our World Cup nemesis. Without them, we can hopefully reach the quarterfinal or even the semifinal. I believe that is possible if we play efficient and tactically football. The tactical margins are still large in football, which every historical clip proves.
