Erling Haaland scores twice, Norway beats Brazil 2-1 to reach World Cup quarters
Erling Haaland is so fun to watch. Norway leads Brazil 2-0 now and is almost certainly going through.
The header was perfection. The bullet from his left foot? Fucking incredible
I agree, he is FANTASTIC. You cannot afford to make mistakes against him, and Brazil made too many mistakes today. Well, done Erling Haaland, well done Norway.!!
That ain't Erling Haaland. It's Thor Odinson.
Viking Row on the Vinne! 🇳🇴
FIFA called and said give Brazil another PK and a few extra minutes, but it didn't help.
I can’t believe this is his first ever World Cup and he has 6 goals and has secured Norway a spot in the Quarter finals of the World Cup Haaland is INCREDIBLE ⚽️❤️
🇳🇴Norway🇳🇴, and Erling Haaland in particular, are just having the time of their lives this World Cup. Love it.
I finally did the row in my living room today. 😁
Imagine if Minneapolis was actually a part of this World Cup, Norway would be given express permission to use the Viking’s horn for this chant every match
Norway to win the WC and then tell Trump that the Vikings came to America first !! USA belongs to Norway ! The US will be transformed into a Socialist Democracy, like Norway. King Haaland has spoken. Go Vikings !
so good to see normal people at top levels. no acting , no prima donnas , real team spirit.
"The Row" is Norway's Hakka. ...and I'm completely, hopelessly all in for it. They've been getting ready for this from their first visit to Vinland, 500 years before Columbus. 🤷
Love the Vikings. We needed an underdog to root for...
Norway deserved that, thought Martin Odegaard was good tonight, and Erling Haaland is just kinda ridiculous. Brazil were just completely mediocre. That late penalty was bullshit. Our Gabriels can go and get some holidays now.
Wild to take off Martinelli (MOTM for Brazil up to that point?) for Neymar.
Love that Neymar insisted on making it all about him, even with a minute left on his country’s World Cup.
How much was the referee paid to get a Brazil won against Norway? He tried so hard to change the outcome in added time that it sullied a good game. All leaders of participating countries should call FIFA to appeal all red cards issued hereon. If Trump can do it, so can others.
Not sure how you can call that late penalty bullshit but think the Balogun red was right Andrew. You should be like me & think the Balogun one was bullshit and an elbow to the face is an obvious penalty 😉
Didn’t love seeing big Gabi having words with Odegaard in that scuffle near the end
Fair statement, but don't expect me to start liking Haaland. He's a Man City villain first and a World Cup hero second.
Norway has knocked five-time champions Brazil out of the World Cup with two late goals from Erling Haaland and will advance to the quarterfinals for the first time in history. https://cnn.it/4vN1ZKP
I’ve loved Haaland for like 5 days now
Norwegian unbeaten streak vs Brasil continues.
Congratulations, Norway! Great game! Great players! Great win! Rooted for you all the way!

HOLY COW, NORWAY! Brace for the Viking beast (friendly giant) Erling Haaland! Fantastic saves from the Norwegian keeper Nyland! Outplayed Brazil in a great game! Skill, class, no flopping, all fun. Congrats on heading to their FIRST quarters to my Oslo friends like @oslourban.bsky.social! #WorldCup
Is there any team at the #WorldCup more fun than Norway? #VikingRow #Norway
The no flopping is a good point. I didn’t realize it until you said it, but there was almost none of that in this one
I didn’t know if I’d be able to watch with a migraine. Totally worth it!
And the ref tried to give Brazil a chance to win the game at the end...
Not everyone is oafish enough to compare Erling Haaland to Josh Allen but I am
He comes from the land of ice and snow from the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.
Pretty sure Josh Allen would not have been this clutch.
They keep calling him Terminator, but really he looks like that one terrorist from Die Hard whose brother bites it early on.
Reminds me of 90s Shaq
Erling Haaland could score a header with a grand piano
Just catapult a Bösendorfer somewhere into the area and the next thing you're going to see, after a flash of blond hair, is the piano lodged in the net with the goalkeeper's feet sticking out from under it
or he could just kick it in
it’s in our family dna, tbh
In another sign that Threads is the most insane social media site, they're all getting out the calipers to talk about Erling Haaland because they've apparently only just now discovered what Scandinavians look like
post examples im so curious
oh hell yeah racism caliper time lfg
This reminds me kinda of this court case. In this case it's nationality which is something objective compared to race which was subjective. They argued that common understanding of the term Aryan was more important then the technical meaning. www.saada.org/tides/articl...

there’s a much better way for people to grapple with the experience of Guy Who Just Looks Like That
gotta say, as an individual of Striking Genes, (distressingly pale skintone and bright green eyes) it doesn't feel good that i've had to think more about this in the last couple years than the rest of my lifetime combined. can really *feel* the race science entering people's minds in real time
Threads is bad for the existence of the universe.
not even allowed to have a rectangular head in this perfect world sorry to all the perfect brothers and sisters
