Norway eliminated Brazil from the World Cup with a stunning two to one victory in the round of 16, marking Norway's first-ever advance to the quarterfinals. Erling Haaland scored both goals for Norway, bringing his tournament total to seven, tying him with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé for the Golden Boot lead. Neymar scored a late penalty for Brazil, but it was not enough to change the outcome. Following the match, Neymar announced his retirement from international football, stating, "I tried and I tried. Now it's over. It began here and it ends here." In other news, FIFA lifted the one-match suspension of U.S. striker Folarin Balogun, allowing him to play in the crucial round of 16 match against Belgium. This decision followed a call from U.S. President Donald Trump to FIFA President Gianni Infantino. Belgium's football federation expressed astonishment at the reversal, with coach Rudi Garcia commenting, "I didn’t know that at the FIFA World Cup, the fifth of July is now the first of April." Additionally, the round of 16 match between Mexico and England was delayed by one hour due to severe weather conditions in Mexico City. The match is now set to kick off at 7 p.m. local time.
