World Cup qualifying: Armenia stun Republic of Ireland while Norway hit 11

The World Cup qualifying matches saw some surprising results. In Yerevan, Armenia stunned the Republic of Ireland 2-1, dealing a blow to Ireland's World Cup dream. This defeat came just over three years after Ireland's 1-0 loss against Armenia in the Nations League. Meanwhile, in a separate match, Norway's Erling Haaland scored five goals, but his Manchester City teammate Omar Marmoush suffered an injury. The article highlights the pressure on Ireland's manager, Heimir Hallgrímsson, after the team's disappointing performance against the lower-ranked Armenian side, which has put their chances of qualifying from Group F in jeopardy following a 2-2 draw with Hungary earlier.
