Norway's player representative Brede Hangeland called the upcoming quarterfinal against Brazil "perhaps the biggest night in Norwegian football history" just hours before kickoff. He emphasized the team needs to use all attention in the US and back home in Norway as extra energy.
Julian Ryerson, Norway's first-choice right-back, remains sidelined with injury, replaced by Marcus Holmgren Pedersen who has been dealing with minor issues. Coach Ståle Solbakken noted some uncertainty at the position. The match kicks off at 22:00 and will be broadcast on NRK1 and NRK TV. hiddenlangkawi.club
