Haaland said Norway’s run showed young players they can reach the world stage after the team scored seven goals in five games.
- On Saturday, England defeated Norway 2-1 in Miami during the World Cup quarter-finals after extra-time, ending the Scandinavian nation's run and marking the first time Erling Haaland failed to score in 15 competitive international games.
- Norway reached the quarter-finals in their first World Cup for 28 years, a historic run featuring an elimination of Brazil in the last 16 where Haaland scored twice to knock out the five-time winners.
- Struggling with searing heat and fatigue in Miami, Haaland was substituted during extra-time; manager Stale Solbakken noted the striker had exhausted his energy after scoring seven goals in five tournament matches.
- Praising former teammate Jude Bellingham, who scored twice to secure England's victory, Haaland said, "It's just praise for Jude, I think he's unbelievable. England is lucky because everybody would want a Jude in the team."
- The 25-year-old said Norway's World Cup success inspires young people back home, expressing hope the nation can build on this performance to become a football powerhouse in the coming years.
