Manchester City forward Erling Haaland has stated that the Norwegian national team, which he represents, will never win the FIFA World Cup.
Erling Haaland for The Times
Norway will never win the World Cup. I don’t want to be that guy that says the USA is never going to win the World Cup, then they actually win it. So there’s a 1 per cent chance they’re going to do it. Norway has a 0.5.
Norway has not participated in the World Cup since the 1998 tournament, where the national team reached the Round of 16, marking its best performance in the competition's history.
Haaland has been playing for the Norwegian national team since September 2019. He has appeared in 43 matches, scoring 42 goals and providing four assists.
