The 2026 FIFA World Cup is just days away, and now Norway might legitimately have something to be worried about.
Norway had an international friendly against Morocco at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey, on Sunday as both teams prepare for the upcoming tournament.
Morocco jumped out to an early lead with Brahim Díaz slotting home in the eighth minute, but Martin Ødegaard's second-half strike cancelled it out as Norway drew 1-1 with the Atlas Lions.
On paper, a draw against one of the World Cup's dark horses isn't a disaster.
But the result buried the lede.
The real story wasn't the scoreline.
It was the man who was supposed to dominate it.
Erling Haaland.
Four touches.
Seventy-five minutes.
Haaland's four-touch showing in 75 minutes is the fewest he's registered in a start for club and country since 2019, a stat that would be alarming for literally any striker on the planet, let alone the most dangerous forward alive.
