Oslo – Vice world champion France became the second team after England to secure one of the twelve European fixed tickets for the 2026 World Cup with a 4-0 home win over Ukraine on Thursday. This is almost certainly Norway too. In Oslo, Alexander Sörloth (50th, 52nd) and Erling Haaland (56th, 62nd) made the decision within 13 minutes. Italy, who won late on in Moldova 2-0, will probably have to go to the play-offs.
