FIFA World Cup 2026:

FIFA World Cup 2026 coverage highlights Zlatan Ibrahimović’s reaction to Norway’s breakthrough after stunning Brazil 2-1 to reach the quarter-finals for the first time in their history. Speaking in a video shared by FOX Sports on X, the former Swedish striker said the Scandinavians reminded him of Sweden’s 1994 run to third place, using the line “When the lion is hungry, he eats.” Ibrahimović credited Norway’s resilience and tactical discipline, while questioning Brazil’s tournament performance and the impact of Carlo Ancelotti’s changes. He singled out Erling Haaland, saying he had been the player to watch and praising his two late goals at MetLife Stadium in New York. Brazil dominated much of the match, missed a first-half penalty through Bruno Guimarães, and Neymar converted a stoppage-time penalty, though Brazil still suffered a seventh straight World Cup knockout defeat to European opposition.
