Iraq head coach Graham Arnold has urged his players not to be intimidated by Erling Haaland ahead of their World Cup opener against Norway. While describing the Manchester City striker as an "incredible number nine" and one of football's standout talents, Arnold said Iraq must embrace the challenge and compete "man against man" rather than fear the Norwegian star.
Iraq face Norway in Boston in their first World Cup appearance in 40 years, with Haaland expected to be the focal point of Norway's attack.
