Yeah, exactly, like Norway
Norway was seeded as the worst team in Pot 2 for this World Cup qualifier and if they qualify they'll be in Pot 3 at the World Cup
It is easier for a great striker to score more goals for a team seeded in Pot 1 in all qualifiers/group stages as every team you face will be considerably weaker
Portugal scored 36 goals in their last EURO qualifier playing against Slovakia, Bosnia, Iceland, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein
Norway scored 14 goals playing Spain, Scotland, Georgia and Cyprus
It's in the qualifiers and friendlies the bulk of any players total international goals come
For example, 46 out of Rooney's 53 goals were scored in qualifiers and friendlies (87%)
Only 21 of his 120 matches (17.5%) and 7 of his 53 goals (13%) were at the World Cup and EURO

Haaland has so far scored against all Top 25 ranked teams he's played against apart from #1 seeded Spain (0 goals in 1 match)
>Italy (1G/1M)
>Netherlands (1G/1M)
>Denmark (1G/1M + another controversial disallowed goal by VAR, .webm related)
>Austria (2G/3M)
>Serbia (1G/3M)
>Scotland (1G/1M)
>Sweden (4G/3M)

He will be playing in League A of Nations League next year with Norway in Pot 3 so there will be plenty of strong opposition
