For avid fans, this isn’t the first World Cup clash between these two teams. Back in 1998, Norway surprised everyone with a 2-1 victory against Brazil during the group stage, a game Brazil famously rebounded from to eventually reach the final, though they lost to France.
Currently, Brazil’s roster boasts stars like Vinicius Junior, Bruno Guimarães, and Gabriel Magalhães, making them the favorites. Yet, as history shows, anything is possible in the World Cup.
Norway is coming into this on a strong streak, having won their last four matches. Midfielder Sander Berge mentioned, “If we reach them in the final tournament, it would be a dream—a valuable challenge and experience.”
Looking forward to a classic showdown in the Meadowlands.

What’s the best way to get to MetLife Stadium to watch a World Cup game?
Getting to the World Cup venue is a hot topic, with several options aside from the casual stroll some might suggest.
Here are the more practical options:
• Take the NJT for $105 round trip (a reduction from $150). The train runs to Secaucus Junction, where you can switch to the Meadowlands Railroad, just a two-minute ride to the stadium.
• Consider the official NYNJ stadium shuttle. Buses run directly from the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan and the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine Park and Ride. Tickets must be booked in advance through the New Jersey Transit World Cup site. Just a downside? The inevitable traffic. However, a significant perk is the dramatic drop in round-trip bus fares for fans—from $80 down to $20.
• Or go for an Uber or Lyft. There’s a designated drop-off and pick-up area outside MetLife, but keep in mind the possible surge pricing and wait times.
