“Erling Haaland Joins FIFA’s Exclusive ‘Monsters Club’ of World Cup Scorers” – this headline appeared this morning on FIFA’s official platforms.
This isn’t about anything negative, but rather something remarkable and exceptional. FIFA’s “Monsters Club” refers to an informal group of players who have scored two or more goals in at least two of their opening World Cup matches. Until last night, only five players had achieved this feat: Argentina’s Guillermo Stábile (1930), Hungary’s Sándor Kocsis (1954), France’s Just Fontaine (1958), Poland’s Grzegorz Lato (1974), and England’s Harry Kane (2018).
Now, the outstanding Norwegian striker has joined their ranks. Recall that Haaland netted two goals each in Norway’s matches against Iraq (4-1) and Senegal (3-2). Judging by his determination, he certainly has no intention of stopping there!
