once again not asking questions about the rules of this game.

one of my neighbors is watching the game and cheering for norway, so i'll know who won eventually

Watching the shoving before the corner kicks, I keep waiting to see Haaland just punch out a defender like Mongo knocking out the horse in Blazing Saddlers

Watching Norway with immense pride, but then remembering my Norweigan grandmother would absolutely not give a shit about this at all if she were alive and would just blow cigarette smoke into my face if I mentioned it

Norway pay their female international players the same amount as their male players and have done since 2017.
