3:24pm, 7 June 2025【Football】

In the early morning of June 7, the US, Canada and Mexico World Cup Group I ushered in a focus battle, with Norway at home playing against Italy.

Norway today has two super stars, Odegao and Haaland. Norwegian fans are also looking forward to their home team getting tickets to the competition again.

After all, Norway last appeared in the main arena of the European Cup or World Cup, which happened 25 years ago. Now Norway is ranked only 38th in the world.

Italy's latest issue ranked 9th in the world rankings, which is Italy's first group match, and Norway has won both games. It is worth noting that the two teams' last two encounters occurred in the 2016 European Cup peripheral match, with Italy defeating Norway at home and away.

In the 14th minute, Bastoni's pass was intercepted, and Norway immediately started a quick counterattack. Noosa's wonderful pass broke through Italy's defense line, and Sollot, who played for Atletico Madrid, calmly shot, and the ball pierced Donnarumma's wicket.

When Norway took the lead, Italy still had 0 shots. After scoring the goal, Norway set up a bus to defend, and it is difficult for Italy to have enough space for its offense.

Until the 25th minute, Italy finally completed its first shot in the game. Laspadori burst out from a small angle and the ball was slightly higher.

withstood Italy's 15-minute attack, Norway found an opportunity. In the 32nd minute, Sollot easily swept past Bastoni, Donnarumma blocked the near corner and saved the ball. In the 34th minute, goalkeeper Nilander kicked off with a big foot, Tosby's stop was almost perfect, and Noosa's fake move caused two defensive players to rear-end.

Norwegian fans have stood up, Noosa's shot is full of power, Donnarumma saves, but the ball still hits a dead corner. With this wonderful world wave, Norway took a two-goal lead. In the 42nd minute, the legendary concrete defense collapsed again. Two top Norway stars completed the connection. Odegao sent a scalpel-like pass. Haaland skipped the water and scored the ball into the empty goal. In the heavy rain, Haaland leaned on the corner flagpole with one hand and hugged Odegao tightly. On the other side, Spaletti was poured into a cold heart, and Retgi sighed to the sky.

End of the first half, Norway led 3-0, and the two teams shot 7-1, Italy was completely suppressed and there was no hope of scoring. In the 63rd minute, Norway almost scored another goal. Odgao's tactical free kick was taken, and Borg's long shot popped up from the post, which was a pity. Italy is still in a passive position when the three goals are behind. In the end, Italy, which had only six shots in the game, lost 0-3 to Norway. After the game, Norway ranked first in the group with all three wins, while Italy started with a life-and-death battle and was completely defeated.

Considering that the other three teams in this group are Estonia, Israel and Moldova, there is a huge gap in strength with Norway and Italy, the battle for the top spot in this group will undoubtedly arise in the battle between Norway and Italy. So, this crushing defeat had a significant impact on Italy.

The US, Canada and Mexico World Cup Europe has 16 qualifying places, and the top spots in 12 groups are directly qualified. The second in the 12 groups will participate in the playoffs with the teams that have not won the top two in the group and ranked top four in the European League, and will determine 4 World Cup tickets.

In the past two World Cups, Italy has fallen in the playoffs and has been eliminated by Sweden and North Macedonia. Could it be that Italy, which has won the Hercules Cup four times, will miss the World Cup again?
