😳 What's going on here? Haaland and co rip Italy to shreds
😳 What's going on here? Haaland and co rip Italy to shreds Before the game between Norway and Italy, it was clear that the Italians were the favorites. However, there is absolutely no sign of that so far. After 45 minutes, the Norwegians lead 3-0. The direction the evening would take was hinted at early on. In the 14th minute, RB star Nusa played a strong pass forward, allowing Alexander Sørloth to simply push the ball past Donnaruma into the goal. Advertisement And the Leipzig player followed up about 20 minutes later in a dreamlike manner. After a sensational dribble, Nusa blasted the ball from about 15 meters unstoppably under the crossbar. As if that wasn't bad enough, superstar Erling Haaland scored just before halftime after a perfect through pass from Ødegaard to make it 3-0. Things are really heating up here. The second half will show whether the Italians can display their comeback qualities like they did a few months ago against Germany. If they fail, today could turn out to be a really bitter experience. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

'Absolutely bonkers': Football world in uproar over Ange Postecoglou 'disgrace'
English football legend Alan Shearer has led the condemnation of Tottenham's decision to sack Aussie manager Ange Postecoglou, just days after he won the Europa League. Postecoglou's two-year reign at Tottenham was ended on Friday night when he was brutally sacked by the North London club. The decision was made despite Postecoglou guiding Spurs to a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final in Bilbao last month - the club's first trophy in 17 years. Unfortunately it was a very different story in the Premier League, with Spurs narrowly avoiding relegation in 17th place after losing 22 of 38 games. The dismal league campaign ultimately cost Postecoglou his job. "Following a review of performances and after significant reflection, the Club can announce Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties," Spurs said in a statement. "We have made what we believe is the right decision to give us the best chance of success going forward, not the easy decision. "We have a talented, young squad and Ange has given us a great platform to build upon. We should like to express our gratitude to him. We wish him well for the future — he will always be welcome back at our home." Postecoglou responded with a statement of his own, sharing his pride at what he achieved. "The opportunity to lead one of England's historic football clubs and bring back the glory it deserves will live with me for a lifetime," he said. "Sharing that experience with all those who truly love this club and seeing the impact it had on them is something I will never forget. "That night in Bilbao was the culmination of two years of hard work, dedication and unwavering belief in a dream. There were many challenges to overcome and plenty of noise that comes with trying to accomplish what many said was not possible. "We have also laid foundations that mean this club should not have to wait 17 more years for their next success. I have enormous faith in this group of players and know there is much more potential and growth in them." The football world has been left heavily divided on Postecoglou's sacking, especially after guiding Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years. Many pointed out the league results simply weren't good enough, while others felt the Europa League triumph should have saved him. Shearer, the former England and Newcastle striker, posted on social media: "What a stupid game football is!!!!" Chris Sutton, another former England forward, said: "To get someone in who wins them silverware, then straightaway get rid of him, that sums up modern football, doesn't it? It's absolute bonkers." Spurs fullback Pedro Porro wrote on Instagram: "Thank you for everything, boss. For mentoring me early on, helping me settle into the club, and trusting me out on the pitch. I'll always be grateful for the way you led us, defended us, and kept us going through all the highs and lows. Above everything, you gave us one of the greatest moments in the club's history and for that, you'll always be celebrated. Wishing you all the very best, boss." RELATED: Fans all make same complaint as Socceroos all-but seal World Cup Mary Fowler dream could be ruined amid news about Nathan Cleary England manager Thomas Tuchel, who was sacked by Chelsea a year after winning the Champions League in 2021, said: "It just shows you that it is not only about titles, you can survive seasons without titles if your connection, the support and the belief and the trust between the coach and the club is strong then you can overcome seasons without titles. If there is slight disbelief, if there are concerns, if the trust is not there anymore, obviously then it is sometimes not even enough to win a trophy after so many years." Spurs fans took to social media with an array of reactions. Many labelled it a "disgrace" and "unfair" to sack Postecoglou so soon after delivering the club some silverware. My gaffer. This happened because of you. Disgrace how he's been treated. Says a lot more about the priorities of this Business Club running the circus. #ThankYouAnge #LevyOut — COYS, Big Ange (@Scott_Sweeney) June 6, 2025 You dared and you did. Ange, I had my doubts but got you proved everyone wrong. I couldn't be more grateful for that night in Bilbao. I will forever remember that night thanks to you. Such a disgrace. Thank you Ange Postecoglou (Big Ange) 🇦🇺🏆#Ange #LevyOut — Masen-07 🏴⚽️ (@MasenTHFC07) June 6, 2025 Ange will always be a legend. Sadly 22 league defeats is unacceptable though. — Ongar Spurs (@OngarSpurs) June 6, 2025 Ange being sacked is an absolute disgrace — Craig (@ftblCraig) June 6, 2025 So true !What they did to Ange was very bad.I hope @spurs gets relegated to championship!Very unfair — C S Praneeth (@cspraneeth) June 6, 2025

2026 World Cup qualifiers: Italy already living a nightmare 😨
Italy is on its knees. Norway is in form in the qualifiers for the next World Cup. After defeating Moldova (5-0), then Israel (4-2), Erling Haaland's team is facing Italy, this Friday evening.

Atlético's striker, Alexander Sorloth, quickly opened the scoring (1-0, 14'). Then it was Antonio Nusa (2-0, 34') and Erling Haaland (3-0, 42') who made the break before going back to the locker room. Under the pouring rain in Oslo, Italy is completely overwhelmed.
