After years of waiting, Erling Haaland will finally turn out on a World Cup stage when a generational Norway team takes on the threat of Iraq at Gillette Stadium on Tuesday. The Manchester City marvel will lead his country in their first game at a World Cup finals since 1998, while Iraq’s last appearance on this stage was even further back in 1986.

But Haaland isn’t the only top talent responsible for firing Stale Solbakken’s side into contention this summer, particularly with fellow attackers Alexander Sorloth and Antonio Nusa involved. That’s without mentioning Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard, who is fully set for World Cup duties after lifting the Premier League this season.
Iraq manager Graham Arnold doesn’t have the same glitzy feel to his squad, though the Lions of Mesopotamia aren’t without their own recognizable names. Former Manchester United prospect Zidane Iqbal is set to start at the base of midfield, while the line could be led by Ipswich Town striker Ali Al-Hamadi.
Norway came through UEFA qualifying in seamless style and failed to drop a point, but now comes up an entirely unknown enemy under nervy conditions unknown to anyone in the current squad.
