Italy are set to finish second in Group I while Norway is set to finish first and qualify for the 2026 World Cup.

Norway is one of the teams that have pretty much clinched a spot in the World Cup, thanks to carrying a 17-goal advantage over the Italians. It has helped the Scandinavian nation qualify for the tournament for the first time since 1998, finishing first in the group.

Italy suffered a 4-1 defeat to Norway in Milan, finishing 2nd in Group I, meaning they will go into the World Cup qualification play-offs for the third consecutive time

Portugal punched their ticket to FIFA World Cup 26 with a comprehensive 9- victory over Armenia in Porto, despite the absence of captain Cristiano Ronaldo who was forced to sit out the clash through suspension after his red card in the recent defeat by Ireland.

One of the biggest weeks in Norwegian soccer for a generation risks being tarnished by the admission from a leading player that he is likely to be convicted of sharing an illegal video.
