Iraq and Norway have never crossed paths in a major international tournament, nor have the two battled in a friendly. It really is unchartered territory when the duo collide at Gillette Stadium on Wednesday evening.
There won’t be many backing Iraq to cause an upset, although Cabo Verde, Saudi Arabia and Egypt have proven already at this World Cup that the underdog should not be discounted. Australia also fall into that category and look how its match with Türkiye played out.
