They're playing pretty well. Sure it's against Jordan, but they have an entertaining tenacity.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

@jacob does that solidarity work both ways? That is would a Norwegian cheer for a Dane, or do they still hold a grudge?

It is a generational thing - my generation was enamoured by the Danish EC 1984 and WC 1986 teams, and definitely cheer for Denmark.

Not sure what to make of the fact that Iraq creates more against Norway than Spain did against Cape Verde.  :ph34r:
Haaland's goals were Haaland-y goals. Just willed into the back of the net.

Very nice goal. Expanding the teams hasn't been bad so far.

And thanks norgy.

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

Yeah, while the "lower" teams have been more entertaining than I expected their goalies need qatar and cabe Verde levels of pluck, luck, and skill to stay in it.

That being said portugal taking the foot off the gas might come to bite them in the ass.

Hardly surprising. Selecção stopped playing after the goal and they let Wissa alone for the header.

I have faith but Portugal is handcuffed for 2-4 years. Last coach that had the balls to bench ronaldo got fired. Hes still a great player in the right circumstances, but hasn't accepted that hes not the same player anymore.

That's o Táctico for you.
Ronaldo has been playing already more than a half-time so useless now.

Will Gonçalo Ramos get his 5 minutes, as per Martínez's regulations?

I said it before but I think one of the best and most exciting teams in the tournament being sacrificed for the ego of a 41 year old.
Let's bomb Russia!

Wow, Ramos in for 7+ minutes this time. Maybe a dozen minutes or so, with stoppage time.
