Assists in loss to England
Odegaard assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to England.
Analysis: Odegaard was active in midfield, with his 80 accurate passes qualifying as the second highest figure on the team and one of them leading to Andreas Schjelderup's 36th-minute opener. The playmaker posted his fourth assist over five matches played in the international competition. While he won't be able to improve that tally, it was a solid World Cup campaign for him, with set-piece duties keeping him relevant for the Norwegian squad regardless of opposition. He'll now focus on club activity, looking to get some rest at the beginning of the preseason in hopes to avoid injuries and realize his potential as a key figure in Arsenal's midfield.
Lacks decisive touch Sunday
Odegaard registered three shots (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Brazil.
Analysis: Odegaard's three-game assisting streak ended as he couldn't make his crosses count this time, though he remained productive with 101 accurate passes and multiple shots during the win. The Arsenal star has recorded most minutes in the current World Cup, except in the third group match where he was rested. He'll have another chance to get back on track in the quarterfinals, hoping to support the team through creative skill.
