Norway thank FIFA for dramatic change before England following player complaints

Norway thank FIFA for dramatic change before England following player complaints describes a late adjustment to Norway’s World Cup setup after player concerns. The report says a substantial construction site near the team’s property was believed to be affecting the squad during rest periods, and captain Martin Odegaard acknowledged “there were some things that could have been better.” Manager Stale Solbakken said they lacked a suitable space for team briefings, and they changed arrangements to avoid risk during the period. FIFA is credited with moving its “package” to a new hotel, with FIFA reportedly paying for 50 rooms and covering security and transportation, while Norway makes a small cost adjustment due to higher hotel expense. The story also notes Erling Haaland’s scoring form—seven goals in four outings, including two vs. Brazil—and frames the England contest as part of the Golden Boot race.
