For anyone wondering, Dand is trapped in an Erling Haaland Insta reel doom cycle and cannot escape. “ANOTHER ONE!” she just cried. The consequences of sending so many Haaland reels to me are hitting very hard.

«Josh, du elsker nordmenn og norsk fotball. Vennene dine må ha vært hyggelige mot deg fordi England tapte i semifinalen?»

Can’t help but feel we’ve brought this on ourselves by opting to set up so defensively so early in the second half. We’ve not been able to get out.

I’m not overly confident in our strategy of just letting Messi do what he likes.

Erling Haaland has reached such a level of recognition that my wife Dandy, who does not like football, has been sending me DOZENS of Haaland reels, the first of which was accompanied by the message “do you know this guy?”

Spain absolutely irresistible against France tonight. How, precisely, does one beat this Spanish team?

Lolcas Digne.

I know people rave about this French team, but I’ve still yet to see a side as dominant as that of Spain 2008-2012. Having Iniesta, Xavi, Silva, Fabregas, Busquets, Villa, Torres and Mata was just greedy.

🇳🇴 Hei nordmenn, jeg må stille dere et veldig viktig spørsmål. Hypotetisk sett, hvis det fantes et magasin om norsk fotballs historie, hvilke artikler ville dere likt å lese? Temaer kan inkludere: - spillere - trenere - klubber - turninger, etc

On Saturday, I mentioned to my dad that I’ve met Patrick Berg in a hotel lobby but I rejected the chance to have my photo taken with him because he plays for Glimt. So for the rest of the game he referred to him as “your mate Patrick.” 😂

Yes, Sørloth should’ve attempted to pass to Haaland. No, it wasn’t easy because John Stones closed off the space pretty well. To all the nameless Twitter accounts hanging Sørloth out to dry, get fucked. He’s class.

Every Norwegian to Alexander Sørloth last night.

Manchester United og TIL > internasjonal fotball.

My wife doesn’t really like football, but while I’m at the pub she is invested because she knows how much u love Norway 😂

Jeg glemte hvor gode vi er. Herregud, Gutan, for en omgang!

Tre kamper i Eliteserien i dag, etterfulgt av Norge-England!! For en fotballdag det blir!!

Meg i puben i kveld når Norge score og noen kaste et ølglass på meg:

Ett must read fra vår bror på balløya 💪 Er som en velplassert Erlien scoring

Interesting statistic. For the first time in recorded history, temperatures have reached or exceeded 35°C in three consecutive month, May, June & July.

Selv om jeg er nevnt, så er det denne passasjen jeg tar med meg videre

Godt skrevet kjærleiksbrev. Stedet er forresten Apollon. Utrop til Apollon!

Hi, Norway and Norwegians. A little something you might enjoy reading, especially if you like football. A Love Letter to Norway medium.com/@joshbutler....

Bono ought to have saved that.

Again, objectively very funny that a stutter penalty ends up being woeful. Just. Fucking. Stripe. One.

Hakimi: a rapist and crap at free-kicks. Useless man.

cc: Kylian Mbappe

Mazraoui diving in against Mbappe when he’s already shown him on the outside on his weaker foot is brain dead defending.

Jeg skriver en kort artikkel om det norske landslaget før kampen mot England på lørdag 🇳🇴

You know I love Norway, but I’m sorry, I’m not getting behind that Kygo dross. You either leverage your history of black metal properly (not Burzum or the racists, of course) or you don’t bring music to the World Cup!

Takk nordmenn for svarene deres. Jeg skal svare alle i dag!

Didn’t quite expect this to be vindicated quite so quickly. Egypt just cannot get out.

There are some people that honestly think Lionel Messi isn’t the greatest footballer that’s ever existed.

Egypt have defended staunchly all game and countered with such pace that I’m not sure taking off Zico — their quickest and most direct forward — is the right move here. He gave them such an out ball.

It’s unfortunately a really obvious foul in the build-up, but I’d be tempted to just ignore the VAR recommendation because of the quality of the goal.

🇳🇴 Nordmenn: et spørsmål hvis du har tid til å svare på. Som United fan, har jeg alltid vært «klubb over land», men ville du foretrukket at klubben din vant ligaen eller at Norge vant VM?

I’m sorry but the Yanks’ nonce President resorting to cheating only for them to get absolutely battered by Belgium anyway is objectively very funny.

How does Roberto Martinez still get international jobs? Squandered a golden generation with Belgium and he’s not had the gumption to drop a stroppy 41-year-old to the detriment of Portugal’s World Cup campaign.

The Haaland - Gabriel rivalry

England vs Norway this weekend. Over a thousand years of co-existence since some Norwegians landed in Dorset and killed the local shire reeve to usher in the Viking age really coming to a head in Florida of all places.

Neymar tomorrow morning:

My childhood hero was Ronny Johnsen. I’ve followed Norwegian footy for years. I watch TIL in Norway every year. I count many Norwegians as great and loved friends. I am English but with a deep affection for Norway. I am so fucking happy for all of you.

Min venn stiller de viktige spørsmålene.

🗓️ 28/07/88 Norway 1–1 Brazil
🗓️ 30/05/97 Norway 4–2 Brazil
🗓️ 23/06/98 Norway 2–1 Brazil
🗓️ 16/08/06 Norway 1–1 Brazil 🗓️ 05/07/26 Norway 2-1 Brazil Norway have still NEVER lost an international match against Brazil.

For en andreomgang fra Norge. Haaland er inevitable, men en stor gratulasjon til Ståle som endret kampen med byttene sine. Schjelderup og Bobb var fantastiske. Heia Norge! For en fantastisk kveld!

Neymar scoring a consolation penalty and then mocking Nyland as his underperforming nation crash out of a world cup yet again is peak Neymar.

Neymar losing his head and booting Ødegaard is just objectively so funny.

HAALAND AGAIN! INEVITABLE!

Gabriel dominated yet again by Haaland.

Haaland! 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴

Me watching Neymar coming on
