Enough! Infinitely close to the World Cup, Haaland ordered 70 burgers after the game to treat his teammates

On November 14, Norway defeated Estonia 4-1 in the world preliminaries, only 1 point away from the 2026 US-Canada-Mexico World Cup. "The Sun" reported that after the game, Haaland wore a national team jersey and took 60-70 burgers from the food delivery man back to the locker room to invite the whole team to celebrate.

Norway's last major competition was the 2000 European Cup, and its last World Cup was in 1998, both of which ended in the group stage. Now, as long as they don't lose a net loss of 9 goals against Italy in the final round, they can advance and will return to the World Cup after 28 years. In terms of lineup, Haaland leads the European scorer list with a transfer price of 180 million euros, and Ødegaard is worth 80 million euros. With the help of many players from the five major leagues, facing the new competition system that has expanded to 48 teams, the team's goals have exceeded history.
