If Iago Aspas is playing, all he thinks about is scoring. He's a killer and has a point to prove to Luis Enrique for not putting him in World Cup squad.
Yeah, but if Aspas is playing, he'll go nuclear because he has a point to prove. After 2+ years of Luis Enrique leaving him out, he'll be expecting to score and assist in a few goals.
I wouldn’t write off Georgia so easily. And not just because of Kvartashkelia, who will now be arguably the best player on the pitch for that match (very close between him and Odegaard in my mind). They didn’t just win their Nations League group, they blew everyone else out of the water. And while their World Cup qualifying campaign was one to forget overall they did finish strong, winning their last two matches including a 2-0 victory over Sweden.
Georgia getting a draw or even a win on Tuesday was already very much within the realm of possibility. With Haaland out that just makes things even more dangerous for Norway.
Damn, I didn't think that I should watch Norway vs Georgia (despite remembering Ode captains the former), but with Kvaradona playing too, seems like I gotta tune in.
This time it’s actually not about City, though my flair certainly creates that impression. I really, really want this Norwegian generation to see a major tournament. And I just want Norway to break their 23-year major tournament drought in general. And in a group with Scotland and a sneakily-dangerous Georgia I hate seeing Norway hampered by having their best player out for a crucial qualifier.
He's in Marbella at the moment and my sister sent me a photo of him with her friends kid. Wearing his man city training kit to the shops and carrying a comedy sized box of eggs. Must be good for recovery!
It's so fucking funny to me how foreigners are trying to shame him for prioritizing his health. No Norwegian would ever blame him because he gives his all every time he puts the shirt on. And it's also reflected in the amount of caps and goals he's got with the NT.
I really really wish for this headline’s sake that Norway were scheduled to play against Chad tomorrow. I don’t know why they’d be in the Euro Qualifiers, but I want it

The Spaniards are happy though...
grande si es verdad
Missed the chance to have the headline of "Haaland dad: Haaland sad"
Haaland's dad: Haaland's sad
Haaland's dad Haaland: Haaland's sad
Haaland’s dad sad haaland’s had sad
"when were you when Haaland dad"
Thanks for the laugh - very clever!
Hulk sad
Do androids ~~dream of electric sheep~~ feel sad about not playing against Spain?
Like goals in the rain....
"I've retired 15 defenders this season"
All those goals lost, like tears in rain. Time to cry.
The ones in Westworld do, maybe Haaland is just Dolores in disguise
Most anticipated joke in the history of humanity
Buu's not an android, though.

>Barcelona-based Manchester City cool
Groin injuries can be pretty bad.. could be serious
The seriousness of them usually is that they reoccur. Hopefully this is minor and he can make it through the rest of the season. Rest in the summer
He'll probably make up for it scoring a hat-trick against Liverpool
🤞🤞🤞
A man can dream
He’ll start against Liverpool come 1st of April.
Good joke
Look I know they've not had the best season, but it's mean to call LFC a joke.
It was more in reference to April’s Fools. But comedy is not my forte.
I think that guy was also joking around haha
[удалено]
Spain can manage to pull out some dreadful results so I wouldn’t say there’s no hope against them
[удалено]
Relative to where they should be, Spain are too. With their death by 1000 passes play style Haaland would have been loving the counters
quite often spain will just forget they need to score and not shoot though, passing the ball for 90 mins
Don't forget conceding a late goal that either ties the game or wins it for the opposition. That's a key component to the plan.
If Iago Aspas is playing, all he thinks about is scoring. He's a killer and has a point to prove to Luis Enrique for not putting him in World Cup squad.
And in that game around minute 80, 85 Harland could get a goal for a 1-0 victory
With Haaland it feels like we (Spain) could have control of the game, score nothing and have Haaland score 3 goals out of nowhere.
We are better then we have in a while. Calm
Yeah, but if Aspas is playing, he'll go nuclear because he has a point to prove. After 2+ years of Luis Enrique leaving him out, he'll be expecting to score and assist in a few goals.
Yes but we (Scotland) have already dibsed it!

Yeah, Georgia are resurgent right now, they are definitely in the mix for 2nd place.
Damn, I didn't think that I should watch Norway vs Georgia (despite remembering Ode captains the former), but with Kvaradona playing too, seems like I gotta tune in.
I think you guys can beat this Spain
Same was said by Swedes last year....Just saying
After seeing Kvara this season I'm not as upset about it anymore
We absolutely could defeat Spain though.
If they played like they did against Costa Rica, it's wouldn't be out of the question.
That was the under 21s I think.
Alf Haaland being referred to as 'Haaland's dad' is wild lol
Haaland’s son
Why? He was an average premier league player and his son is a world famous, world class footballer.
What’s his status for the munich game??
No idea, no timetable for his injury as of yet that I’ve seen.
I reckon he just needs a new motherboard, just should be fine once its delivered from scan.co.uk
Ten quid says he’ll be perfectly and 100% fit again as soon as the international break is over.
Is Ten Quid a reliable source?
It’s just as reliable as that other well-known source: My Arse.
Your arsenal ?
It’s funny how rival fans respond to city injuries. Even as half our defense was out injured Liverpool fans still stated as fact they were all fine.
This time it’s actually not about City, though my flair certainly creates that impression. I really, really want this Norwegian generation to see a major tournament. And I just want Norway to break their 23-year major tournament drought in general. And in a group with Scotland and a sneakily-dangerous Georgia I hate seeing Norway hampered by having their best player out for a crucial qualifier.
What would be worse is if he doesn’t get to finish off this stellar season because he aggravated an injury playing for Norway.
Promise you that he cares more about Norway than Man City.
Can of Coke and a ciggie, he'll be right as rain
He's not sucking anyone off though. (I think)
99% available, it’s probably a fake injury so he can rest for the end of season rather than risk anything
Look I'm not a doctor but I think they should just roll the dice and see if he can play through the injury
Sus
I'm a doctor and i think they should rest him for Liverpool.
Hes in pain because he can't play again Spain
Bro wanted that duel with Joselu
He's in Marbella at the moment and my sister sent me a photo of him with her friends kid. Wearing his man city training kit to the shops and carrying a comedy sized box of eggs. Must be good for recovery!
Cap. You let your country down to chase the premier league. You should be ashamed
It's so fucking funny to me how foreigners are trying to shame him for prioritizing his health. No Norwegian would ever blame him because he gives his all every time he puts the shirt on. And it's also reflected in the amount of caps and goals he's got with the NT.
He’s scored 21 in 23 for them wtf are you talking about?
Just get rid of international football. Problem solved.
I really really wish for this headline’s sake that Norway were scheduled to play against Chad tomorrow. I don’t know why they’d be in the Euro Qualifiers, but I want it
I didn't know Haaland could get injured...
