Brazil Faces Historic Opportunity vs Norway
A decade of humiliation and a century without glory hangs in the balance for [[BRA]] against fellow outsiders [[NOR]]. Vinicius Jr. and Endrick bear the weight of a nation that hasn't lifted the trophy since 2002.
Norway's unassuming success story began with six points from their group, before a composed 2-1 win over Cote d'Ivoire. Erling Haaland, the most dangerous striker on the planet, faces a Brazilian backline that has yet to keep a clean sheet.
Brazil navigated Group C with relative ease, but will need more than luck to overcome Norway's well-drilled defense and deadly counter-attacks.
