This is something of a golden era for Norwegian football.

The Scandinavians currently sit proudly atop World Cup Group One with a 100% record and can all but qualify for their first World Cup since 1998 with a win at home to Estonia on Thursday night.

They have talent throughout their squad, but it's hard to argue that their path to the USA has been blazed by the goals of Erling Haaland, who has so far netted a staggering 12 times in qualifying.

This is, of course, alongside the 14 goals he already has in the Premier League this season, but where one blonde bombshell of a Norwegian striker has flourished in England this campaign, another has found it harder going.
