Norway is being led at the World Cup by a modern-day Viking in Erling Haaland.⁠ ⁠ The breakout superstar of the World Cup is from a 13,000-person farming community in rural Norway. Haaland’s goofy personality has taken center stage at the World Cup as he’s been introduced to a whole new crop of fans—including an additional 20 million Instagram followers—who are loving his embrace of the country western style, high-calorie diet that includes raw milk, and silly social media presence.⁠ ⁠ His former coaches and teachers tell FOS that “he’s quite similar now than when he was 12 years old" and that he's "the biggest thing that’s happened in Norway in many, many years."⁠ ⁠ Full story in bio.⁠ ⁠ #worldcup #erling #haaland #norway #football
