World Cup 2026: Before the 3rd Semi-Final Brazil's respect for Norway Giants

The article discusses the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 match between Brazil and Norway in the round of 16. Brazilian coach Carlo Ancelotti has expressed concern over Norway's physical advantages, particularly the height of their strikers Erling Haaland and Alexander Sörloth, who stand at 1.95 m and 1.94 m respectively. Norway's center-back Kristoffer Ajer is even taller at 1.98 m. Brazil's defenders, including Marquinhos (1.83 m) and Gabriel Magalhaes (1.90 m), face challenges matching these heights, prompting Ancelotti to focus training on defensive strategies. Norwegian coach Stale Solbakken acknowledges Brazil's offensive threat, especially from Vinicius Jr., who has scored four goals in four games. The teams have only met once before in a 1998 World Cup group stage match where Norway won. The game is set for July 1, 2026, with live coverage on SRF two.
