Sven Goran Eriksson, a former England coach, predicts that Norwegian attacker Erling Haaland would win titles while playing for Manchester City, despite his country’s lack of elite talent in the World Cup.
In a World Cup qualifying group alongside the Netherlands, Turkey, Montenegro, Latvia, and Gibraltar, Norway placed third with 18 points from 10 games but was unable to advance to the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Three times—in France 1938, the United States in ’94, and France ’98—the Lions of Norway have earned spots in the FIFA World Cup.

Haaland has 21 goals for Norway in 23 games. In 10 Premier League appearances this season for Manchester City, the 22-year-old has 15 goals and three assists.
According to Metro.co.uk, Eriksson expressed admiration for Haaland in an interview with OLGB. Haaland, who will sadly not be a star at this year’s FIFA World Cup, was mentioned by Eriksson.
Erling Haaland will be the leading scorer if he continues in this manner, predicted Eriksson.
Haaland excels in the box and is a fantastic player. The fact that the ball is constantly in the final third indicates that he is on the correct team. He will have plenty of opportunities because they keep the ball and build up, and he is talking them up.
He won’t win a World Cup with Norway, of course, but he’ll win a lot of championships, especially if he continues at Manchester City.
Haaland, one of the top players in the world of football right now, will not compete in the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup, which begins on November 20 and runs through December 18, 2022.
