Norway and France collide to decide Group I
Two of the form teams in Group I meet on 26/06/2026 with top spot likely on the line. Norway opened with a 4-1 win over Iraq, with Erling Haaland scoring twice. France matched them by beating Senegal 3-1. Both look set for the knockouts.
The prize is more than pride. The group winner can earn a kinder path in the last 16. Norway will back Haaland to cause France problems, while the French have strength all over the pitch.
This is the kind of heavyweight clash the group stage is built for. France carry deep talent and tournament know-how. Norway have the momentum and a striker in red-hot form. It promises to be a real test of nerve.
