Erling Haaland says Norway should keep its expectations realistic after qualifying for the World Cup’s last 32. Following Norway’s 3–2 win over Senegal on Monday, the striker cautions against believing the team can realistically contend for the tournament title. In comments reported by multiple outlets, Haaland emphasizes that winning the World Cup is not a plausible target for Norway and urges fans not to get carried away despite the momentum of the group-stage performance. The statements come after Norway reaches the knockout stage at their first World Cup appearance since 1998, a result that has generated optimism around the team. While acknowledging the excitement and “fun” surrounding Norway’s strong start, Haaland’s message focuses on managing expectations and staying grounded as the tournament progresses. The outlets agree on the central point: Haaland publicly cools any talk of unrealistic ambitions, even as Norway advances to the next round following the victory over Senegal.
