After his confident remarks at the press conference, Emerse Faé was asked about the threat posed by Erling Haaland ahead of the Round of 16 clash between Ivory Coast and Norway, kicking off at 17:00 GMT. The Elephants' coach told NCI Sports:

We know he's a top player and a dangerous scorer. But Haaland won't be alone on the pitch. So we won't set up a special plan just for him. We'll focus on the whole team.

Erling Haaland is indeed in the Vikings' starting lineup for this World Cup Round of 16 showdown, kicking off at 17:00 GMT at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
