The list keeps getting longer and stranger. Norway are back for the first time since 1998, which means Erling Haaland, a man who scores goals the way the rest of us breathe, is about to play in his first World Cup at 25.

He brings a chunk of Bodø/Glimt with him, a club from above the Arctic Circle that spent the winter playing European nights on a plastic pitch in the dark and now sends three players to a tournament in the American summer.

Rosters have begun being released and, as expected there are quite a few surprises. Some old guys, some young dudes, two Danilos and two Gabriels on the Brazil team. The Croatia squad featuring a 40-year-old Luka Modric and an 19-year-old Luka Vuskovic. Same squad, same Luka, 21 years apart.

Harry Kane captains England at a third World Cup, which ties a record set by Billy Wright back when squads were read aloud off an index card.

Final rosters are due by June 1, announced June 2.

The Dang Desk will be updating this daily.
