Norway is advancing in the World Cup after defeating Senegal on Tuesday. Optimism has never been higher across the country, ahead of the group stage final against France.

What happened?

Norway won against Senegal with a good performance. Jahn Ivar 'Mini' Jakobsen was part of the golden generation of the Norwegian national team in the 90s.

What does 'Mini' say?

– I recently got a question about whether we can win the World Cup, and of course we can win the World Cup, he says with a smile. He continues: – I'm not putting all my money on it, just.

Norway's chances

Norway has 12 consecutive wins in the World Cup and qualifying. This is not a coincidence, and 'Mini' believes that the team has a good chance of winning the World Cup.
