Erling Haaland opened his FIFA World Cup account by scoring for Norway in their 2026 World Cup opener against Iraq. The Manchester City striker made his long-awaited World Cup debut and converted to give Norway the lead, marking his first World Cup goal. That goal instantly positions Haaland as a leading Golden Boot contender and centers Norway’s hopes on his finishing as the tournament progresses.

very impressed that the on the field leader of Man United’s greatest generation kicked Haaland Sr so dirty that his career was never the same, so Haaland trained his son into the perfect football weapon and sent him over to win everything for United’s local rival

He's the actual argument of "what if America's best athletes played soccer". He's either a wide receiver or shooting guard if he is American.

Will never forget how he split Gabriel and Saliba on that counterattack goal last September. World class center backs, just completely outraced.

haaland might have to set the record for goals in a single world cup for norway to do anything cause this defense stinks but the cool thing is he might be able to do it lol
