In the first World Cup game, we tested this, because then Les Bleus are on the other side of the halfway line, with Kylian Mbappé tripping impatiently to show he is bigger than Erling Haaland.
Immediately after the draw, which the FIFA boss did everything to overshadow by putting together a “peace prize” for Trump, the meeting between Norway and France turned into the battle between the two goal guarantors.

“What a duel. It’s Norway against France, but right now they (Haaland and Mbappé) are probably the two hottest players on the planet, says Ståle Solbakken to TV 2.
The French national team coach, Didier Deschamps, is also looking forward to the two Ballons d’Or rivals facing each other on the biggest stage. We especially like what the Frenchman highlights in a subordinate sentence.
“They are two of the greatest players of their generation. He is their big goalscorer, although they also have Sørloth, who is also good,” Deschamps says to TV 2.
