What they're saying

"
Erling Haaland stood on the pitch in Dallas, a goofy grin across his face and a Viking helmet atop his head at a jaunty angle. It was celebrated by players and fans joining together in their now iconic Viking Row celebration - conducted by Martin Odegaard on the drum. Haaland has now scored 60 goals in 53 senior internationals - averaging a goal every 72 minutes - but the first 55 had not come in a major tournament with Norway having previously failed to qualify for any during his lifetime.
