Multiple times I said Haaland would dominate against Iraq. I said he would get a hat trick. While he didn't quite get there, he still netted 2 goals and showed pure dominance against that Iraq defense. He just looked purely incredible. First World Cup games and he's already tied Norway's World Cup goal record. If Norway can make a deep run, he could challenge Just Fontaine for the record.

In the words of me, this game was a “prime 6/10 candidate”. The first half of this game was really good, but 1 mistake clearly shook Iraq to their core and they never recovered. Haaland made his World Cup debut with style by scoring a brace, just not in the way he probably thought it would happen. Credit to Iraq for not laying down and taking a beating from Norway, they fought hard, even in the face of adversity when Haaland opened the scoring with a powerful strike to make it 1-0 less than 30 minutes in. Just when everyone thought Iraq was screwed, Aymen Hussein scored an equalizer 10 minutes later. It looked like we were getting another Japan-Netherlands type game, only for Iraq to basically give Haaland his 2nd goal. Still, there was hope this game could still be great. That hope died quickly as it was clear Iraq was rattled and Norway played with their food until they chomped down with goal #3 and forced an own goal to rub salt in Iraq’s wound. That moment drops this from a 6.

Norway have dipped there toes in the pool and it was a little cold to start, 1st win under their belt team has potential but Sorloth can’t play rw and ostigerd should be starting at CB

Less than 30 min into the creatures first World Cup and he scores a goal where he all but threw himself into the net. Stunning karate kick goal attempt by Iraq as well, I have to shout that out.

Amazing game through the first half and then Norway just put their foot on Iraq’s neck and tbh just snuffed them out. It’s scary that Haaland is so good he could single handily drag Norway to a deep run so that’s another factor in this World Cup being so goddamn intriguing. Maybe it’s recency bias but this WC already has the makings of being goated and holy fuck I’m so happy to be here to experience it with all yall from start to finish

They had us in the first half, not gonna lie. This was shaping up to be one of the best games of the tournament thus far, but Norway just kept their foot on the gas and Iraq couldn't find an answer. Insult was added to injury with that final own-goal. Would've been nice to see a Haaland hat trick, but I'm almost glad it didn't work out that way. A sour ending to a drab second half.

Norway was dominant in this one outside of a few good moments here or there for Iraq. Haaland delivering was good to see but nothing super exciting from this one. 2nd half was a drag Norway had this one sealed up .
