@FlameRaptorRaven rated the Norway vs Ivory Coast game 8.5 out of 10 in FIFA on June 30, 2026. Final score: Norway 2 – Ivory Coast 1. Round of 32. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.

“The Vikings complete their march and leave Ivory Coast shivering in anguish as they make it 3/4 when it comes to making it to the round of 16 at a World Cup. As a whole, this was probably the most even game of the knockouts so far. I know that may sound ironic for a game that didn’t go into extra time, but it really felt like this game was balancing on a tightrope. It wasn’t until Haaland very nearly missed a wide open chance that one team took full control and it wasn’t the team you’d think. After that goal to go up 2-1, Norway was in total command. Ivory Coast were panicking and/or rattled by the goal because they couldn’t figure out their attack down the stretch and Norway held on for the win. It sucks that we didn’t get a ton of super dramatic moments in those 10+ minutes after the goal, but luckily the rest of the game was good enough to make up for it. Haaland will deservingly get credit for this win, but I thought Nusa, Odegaard and Berg were the true X-factors, especially Berg.”
