If the US beats Norway and then we take down Iceland while they handle Canada, we’re looking at a group where everyone ends up sitting on one win and two losses, which honestly sounds like a total mess to me, but hey, if we could just scrape together a single point difference, we'd probably be golden.
Honestly, if Norway pulls off a win or even just manages to scrape out a draw, they’re golden because that would put them ahead of Iceland in the standings. So, basically, it doesn't even matter how that second match plays out—they've pretty much got their fate entirely in their own hands at this point! ☕
The only real headache here is that they’re going to have a massive uphill battle trying to beat Iceland and carry those points forward. If we aren't looking at an outright win for the US, they really need to scrape by with just a one or two-goal margin. If they end up winning by three, they’ll hit the exact same goal difference as Iceland and Norway, which means things get messy because then they’d probably start looking at total goals scored—and if it hits a +4 margin, Iceland is toast.

29+29=58 😉
