Norway manager Ståle Solbakken is sitting Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard for the team’s World Cup Group I match against France on June 26 in Boston. He rotated 10 of 11 starters from the previous win over Senegal, keeping only midfielder Fredrik Aursnes in the lineup.
Solbakken called it a “completely logical decision,” prioritizing player recovery with the Round of 32 already secured.
Haaland’s four goals are printing money on Sorare
Haaland has scored four goals so far in this World Cup. His Sorare fantasy football NFTs, which live on the Ethereum blockchain, have seen trading volumes spike sharply during the tournament. One Haaland card sold for 265 ETH, a figure estimated between $600,000 and $750,000 depending on the moment of sale.
Sorare cards function as licensed digital collectibles tied to real-world player performance, meaning Haaland’s on-field dominance translates directly into demand for his cards.
