Arsenal may be the Premier League team affected most by the World Cup.

With a stunning brace against Brazil, Erling Haaland gave Norway the ticket to the 2026 World Cup quarterfinals. Norway clashed with Brazil on Sunday in a heavyweight Round of 16 battle, fighting for a coveted spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup quarterfinals at MetLife Stadium. Breaking the late-game deadlock with a magnificent aerial effort and then with a powerful strike, Erling Haaland powered the Scandinavian side ahead while capturing his seventh goal of the tournament. Following a brilliant sequence of build-up play that saw Norway switch the point of attack from right to left, Andreas Schjelderup collected the ball in the final third and utilized a slick dynamic move to open up a crossing window.

World Cup Golden Boot Race hotter than ever As the single-elimination knockout rounds of the 2026 World Cup heat up, the elite goalscorers who dominated the headlines during the group stage have continued to pack the scoresheet under the brightest lights. As it stands right now, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Erling Haaland are locked in a dramatic three-way tie with seven goals apiece, sharing custody of the tournament’s prestigious Golden Boot race. Mbappe already delivered his clutch moment of the Round of 16 by coolly converting a decisive penalty kick in France’s tense 1-0 victory over Paraguay, while Haaland exploded for a magnificent brace to dismantle Brazil. Consequently, Messi remains the only superstar among the leading trio with a game in hand for this round, as he prepares to lead Argentina against Egypt this coming Tuesday in search of both a quarterfinal berth and a chance to break away from his French and Norwegian counterparts.
