Brazil and Norway face off tonight in the Round of 16, with one of the tournament favorites trying to hold off one of the most dangerous goal scorers in the world. Brazil is expected to control possession and dictate the pace, and Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior has shown glimpses of being one of the world’s best forwards during this tournament. But Brazil had to work for its Round of 32 win over Japan, falling behind 1-0 in the first half before scoring twice in the second half, including a 96th-minute game winner at the end of stoppage time.<\/p>\n
Norway arrives after a 2-1 win over Ivory Coast, with Erling Haaland scoring a game-winning goal of his own in the 86th minute after Norway controversially rested its starters against France in the group stage. Haaland has already admitted Norway has \u201cvery slim\u201d chances to beat Brazil, and the matchup will likely force Norway to defend for long stretches while looking for the right moment to counter. Still, Haaland\u2019s engine never stops, and if Brazil lets the game stay close, Norway has enough firepower up front to make the favorite uncomfortable.<\/p>\n
Haaland takes on Brazil tonight at 4:00 p.m. EDT, and soccer fans all around the USA can tune in with Sling TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n Brazil and Norway meet this afternoon in the Round of 16, and fans everywhere can catch the broadcast on FOX.
