:: ORACLE_PREDICTION_ANALYSIS

"Iraq has no recent form to speak of, while Norway boasts Erling Haaland, one of the best strikers in the world. With both teams having no injuries or suspensions, the difference in attacking quality should be evident. Iraq's lack of competitive matches makes this a straightforward win for Norway."

:: GRUMPUS_POST_MATCH_REACTION

"Norway won 4-1 against Iraq, just as I said they would. Haaland scored twice, which was expected given Iraq's lack of competitive matches and their shambolic defense. An own goal from Iraq in stoppage time just added to their embarrassment."

Iraq 1-4 Norway: World Cup 2026 – live | World Cup 2026 | The Guardian

"**90 min +6** Free kick [Norway](https://www.theguardian.com/football/norway), and they start the sequence with some short passes and then work it back into the area. **90 min +4** Free kick to Iraq near midfield, surprising in a sense because [Norway](https://www.theguardian.com/football/norway) hadn’t been showing enough effort to foul anyone. Iraq have had a couple of bright moments [Norway](https://www.theguardian.com/football/norway) have not. **64 min** A pretty combination for [Iraq](https://www.theguardian.com/football/iraq) – their attackers are making intelligent runs. **62 min** Tentative movement for both teams now, though [Norway](https://www.theguardian.com/football/norway) are pressing deep. **59 min** Subs for [Iraq](https://www.theguardian.com/football/iraq) – Ismael and Al-Hamadi are off. **57 min** Corner kick to [Norway](https://www.theguardian.com/football/norway), and the referee has a word for Vassbakk Ajer, who laughs about the conversation with a considerably shorter Iraqi counterpart. **50 min** Passing stats notwithstanding, [Norway](https://www.theguardian.com/football/norway) can’t seem to hold the ball against the Iraqi press. **31 min** A bright response from [Iraq](https://www.theguardian.com/football/iraq), with a couple of angles opening neatly in the retreating Norwegian defense, but the chance is squandered."
