Erling Haaland predicts France will win World Cup after Norway's strong group start

Norwegian striker Erling Haaland scored four goals in his first two World Cup matches – two in a 4‑1 win over Iraq and two in a 3‑2 victory against Senegal – securing Norway’s place in the knockout phase with six points. When asked about the upcoming group clash with France, Haaland said, “We have qualified, I don’t care. France will probably beat us and win the tournament.”
