The excitement of the World Cup continues as Norway and France make significant strides in the tournament. Norway, under the leadership of star player Erling Haaland, secured a spot in the Round of 32. They began with an impressive victory over Iraq and further showcased their skills by triumphing over Senegal, a strong contender.

France, led by the exceptional Kylian Mbappe, mirrored Norway’s success. Mbappe maintained his excellent goal-scoring form, netting two goals in consecutive games. France defeated Iraq with ease, yet they believe they have more to offer in the upcoming matches. With both Norway and France advancing, their impending face-off promises high anticipation. However, with progression assured, both may consider lineup changes for this matchup.

Algeria emerged as a rising star, overcoming Jordan with a 2-1 comeback win. This victory positions them well as they prepare to face Austria in their final group match. Meanwhile, Austria faced a tough challenge, losing to defending champions Argentina. Argentina remains at the top of the rankings, holding firm as the leading team until facing a challenging opponent.

Congratulations to Lionel Messi for setting a new record in World Cup history by scoring 18 goals, surpassing all past players in men’s and women’s tournaments.
