As longtime fans may recall, this tantalizing round of 16 showdown won’t be the first time these squads have met in the World Cup.
Flash back to 1998 and you’ll be transported to Løvene’s shocking 2-1 victory over Canarinho in a group stage match before Brazil went on to the Final where they lost to France.
This time around, Vinícius Júnior, Bruno Guimarães and Gabriel Magalhães are the undisputed favorites against Haaland and co.
Still, if we’ve learned anything from the World Cup, it’s that anything can happen.
Norway is on a torrid four-game win streak and the team would love a chance to re-enact their surprising ’98 triumph.
Ahead of the match, midfielder Sander Berge said ” if the opportunity comes that we can play them in a knockout stage, that would be a dream coming true and a fantastic challenge, and a fantastic opportunity and experience.”
We’re expecting an instant classic in the Meadowlands.
We’re here to help, Torcedores and Viking Rowers.

After this Round of 16 match, there is only one more World Cup match at MetLife Stadium this year.
The Final is scheduled to go down at the Jets and Giants’ home on Sunday, July 19 at 3 p.m.
Although transit to the World Cup has undoubtedly been a hot topic, there are quite a few options to get to the Meadowlands for the games (rather than walk as some out-of-towners have suggested).
• Eat the $105 round-trip cost (slashed from a previously-announced $150) and take the NJT. Trains will be running back and forth to Secaucus Junction where you can transfer to the Meadowlands rail line, which takes you two minutes away from the Stadium.
• Board the official NYNJ Stadium Shuttle. Direct round-trip buses can be picked up at the Port Authority Bus Terminal, Midtown East in Manhattan, and the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine Park-and-Ride in New Jersey. Be aware that tickets must be secured in advance through the New Jersey Transit World Cup platform. The major downside here? Potential traffic. The major upside? The Post reported that “round-trip bus fares for fans attending the 2026 FIFA World Cup have been cut by 75%…from $80 to $20.”
• Risk everything and book an Uber or Lyft. There are drop-off and pick-up zones outside MetLife. The major detractor here are likely exorbitant surge pricing and wait times. Proceed with caution here!
Both teams’ complete rosters can be found here:
Matches this year between all 48 clubs will go down at venues all over the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
