Decent playmaking numbers
Berg registered one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Friday's 4-1 loss to France. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 10th minute.
Analysis: Berg served as the primary playmaker for Norway and made his best Martin Odegaard impression, but he was unable to do much beyond taking set pieces. Berg should return to the bench, with Odegaard, Sander Berge and Fredrik Aursnes being the starting midfield trio in Norway's Best XI.
Picks up assist versus Senegal
Berg assisted once to go with one chance created and committed two fouls in 45 minutes in Monday's 3-2 win against Senegal.
Analysis: Berg wasn't particularly dynamic coming off the bench, but he fed Erling Haaland with a well-timed short cross to set up the third goal for his side. He mostly patrolled the midfield to protect the lead afterward. He had logged just nine minutes in the previous game, notching one tackle (zero won). He's competing especially with Fredrik Aursnes and Kristian Thorstvedt.
