England, Portugal, and Norway are making serious strides toward securing their spots in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with impressive performances putting them in prime positions in their respective qualifying groups.
*England* has been on fire, dominating their group with five wins out of five matches. Under Thomas Tuchel’s guidance, the Three Lions have yet to concede a single goal, including a stunning 5-0 thrashing of Serbia in Belgrade. With a seven-point lead over Albania and three games to go, England is on the brink of booking their ticket to the World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
*Portugal*, led by Roberto Martinez, is also cruising through their group. Cristiano Ronaldo has been clutch, netting three goals in September, including a dramatic winner against Hungary. Portugal is targeting their seventh consecutive World Cup appearance and can seal qualification with wins against the Republic of Ireland and Hungary in their next matches.
*Norway* is chasing history, aiming for their first World Cup appearance since 1998. The team has been unstoppable, scoring 24 goals in five straight wins, with Erling Haaland leading the charge with nine goals so far. A victory over Israel on Saturday could secure Norway’s spot if Italy falters in their group. However, they’ll be without captain Martin Ødegaard, who’s sidelined with a knee injury, adding a layer of challenge to their campaign.
All eyes are on these teams as they close in on the 2026 World Cup, with fans eagerly anticipating their next matches to see if they can lock in their places among the world’s elite.
