The Norway vs. Ivory Coast knockout match will be held on July 1st at 1:00 AM Beijing time at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, USA. Norway is ranked approximately 23rd in the world. The team's attack relies heavily on individual ability, and they have good physical reserves, but their defense shows weaknesses against strong teams. Ivory Coast, ranked around 30th in the world, is known for its speed, physicality, and attacking prowess. They boast a balanced offense and defense, and their players are resilient under pressure. However, injuries to key positions such as center-back (e.g., Singo) may affect their chances. This match marks the first official encounter between the two teams. The focus will be on Haaland's potential performance and Odegaard's link-up play. If Ivory Coast can limit Norway's attack and capitalize on counter-attacks, they could pose a threat.
