The hometowns of Norway's two goal scorers vs Senegal (Erling Haaland, Bryne, and Marcus Pedersen, Hammerfest) are separated by 2,400km, a 30-hour car journey that crosses through three nations (Norway, Sweden and Finland). Bryne is closer to Milan than it is to Hammerfest.

The Disgrace of Gijón at the 1982 WC saw West Germany and Austria play out a passive 1-0 WG win which meant both teams progressed.
The team eliminated as a result?
Algeria. 👀
⚠️ Algeria v Austria.
Both teams tied on 3pts and face each other in Kansas in the early hours of Sunday morning at 3am.
A draw would be enough to send BOTH teams in to the R32.
The draw is currently priced at 27/20. Looks certain to shorten before KO.

@HLTCO Late to the party but we're tracking Goals By Club here; https://t.co/NO5RBOhFR0
Go to Top Scorer tab and scroll to the bottom.
@MotherwellFC currently joint 14th for Goals by Club at the World Cup 💪🤯
Niche stuff here, but the use of head-to-head as the first separator in World Cup groups means there's a (small) chance that a side could finish 4th with a record that would have been good enough to advance as a best-3rd side - but the 3rd side goes out.

Did you know?
If all four teams finish on exactly the same points, goals and head-to-head then the positions will be determined by teams' conduct score in all group matches (total yellow & red cards).
If they still can't be separated it will come down to FIFA World Ranking.
I can’t but feel the commentary for this 95th minute winner should have more energy to it. 😂
Great run down the left, 20-year-old bagging in front of a delirious Ghana end, let your emotions go a little.
