Estonia vs Norway - Haaland scored into the World Cup or Haaland entered the junior college entrance examination, which is easier?

Since there is almost no suspense in this game, I will take this opportunity to give you some popular science on the rules of the UEFA "save the country on a curve", because recently a friend was misled by some wrong articles on the Internet. If I don't explain it clearly, something might happen.

Say it again today.

As shown in the figure, from top to bottom, this is the order in which the team is "postponed" for the 4 playoff qualifications.

It is obvious that Spain, Germany, Portugal and France are the four teams that are most likely to be "postponed" to qualify. But this does not mean that they are 100% straight to the World Cup, because if they rank in the top two in the group stages of the World Cup qualifiers, their UEFA playoff qualification will be postponed.

is not bad for ranking first, but it goes straight to the World Cup, but if it ranks second, you have to play in the playoffs in the World Cup, and you may not be able to enter the World Cup steadily. I remember that Italy was once out of the way by North Macedonia in the playoffs.

If we want to objectively combine the promotion situation of the European group stage in the World Cup qualifiers, the teams that are most likely to be postponed to the four playoff qualifications are actually: Norway, Wales, Czech Republic, and Romania.

Norway now temporarily has the advantage of advancing first in the World Cup qualifiers, so Sweden sees hope again.

The home team has a bad defense and the away team is taking advantage of the victory to pursue it, but this game is the second international game with the back of the Club World Cup. If placed under the normal league background, the strong side may have a downward situation. From another perspective, Norway may have a bloodbath to fight against Italy and cannot stop the desire to attack; but Norway may not have any other away against Estonia.

It is better to be optimistic about Norway's victory in this game, but Norway may not be interested in winning more than 2 goals, so it will be safe 2-0, and 3-1 will be fine.
