+ Gabriel and Haaland in a new duel
We've seen the duel several times in recent years in the Premier League. Manchester City's Erling Braut Haaland against Arsenal's Gabriel Magalhães. It culminated last spring when the stars tore off each other's shirts in the fight for the ball and Haaland ultimately emerged victorious from the battle, when his City won 2-1.
Now they meet again in the match between Haaland's Norway and Gabriel's Brazil.
+ The Brazil star is racing against the clock
Brazil hasn't won the World Cup since 2002 - and few believe it will this year either. But the Brazilian media is still holding out hope thanks to national team captain and super coach Carlo Ancelotti, who has credentials like few others.
But he will have a lot to think about as the midfield has suffered two serious injuries. Lucas Paquetá looks set to miss the match completely and Casemiro - the last-minute scorer - is in a race against time.
+ Party in Oslo
Sunday will be an all-day party in Norway. Norwegian newspaper VG reports that the Oslo municipality will show the match on Rådhustorget with not one, but two screens.

+ Can England handle the high altitude?
A big question for the English will be how they handle playing at Azteca Stadium - the arena where Pelé and Maradona completed two incomparable careers with two unforgettable World Cup finals - given that it is located at an altitude of 2,000 metres.
"It's a huge advantage for them (Mexico). We only have three days between Congo-Kinshasa and Mexico so we won't have time to adapt. We knew that beforehand, but we have to deal with it," said coach Thomas Tuchel.
+ The call: Close the school
The late kick-off in the UK, 1 a.m., is causing problems for the children. That's why Tuchel has sent a message to all parents:
Come on, let the kids skip school. It's the World Cup every four years. It's going to be a big, big match. We need support, said the German.
