The Norway Women’s National Team is nearly finished with World Cup Qualifying matches. With just two more matches remaining, against the two weakest teams in their group, Norway leads Group 2 and looks set to win the group without losing a match. From there, they would have to play the winner of one of the other groups, to see which team advances to next summer's World Cup in Germany.
