World Cup 2026 Upset: Norway Dump Brazil – Has Haaland Redefined Striking?
The 2026 World Cup produced its biggest upset when Norway stunned Brazil with a 2-0 victory. Despite dominating possession and creating chance after chance, Brazil’s attack faltered in front of goal. Erling Haaland provided the clinical edge. He headed home the opener before unleashing a stunning strike to seal Norway’s win. Brazil only found the net via a late penalty, but it was too little, too late. Meanwhile, England edged past Mexico 3-2 at the Azteca Stadium. Jude Bellingham’s brace and a calm Harry Kane spot-kick carried the Three Lions, even after a red card shifted the momentum. With a Norway vs England quarter-final looming, questions abound: Have Brazil lost their world-beating aura? Is Haaland the best striker of his generation? Can England finally end their long World Cup drought?
