Even before the World Cup began, many people were highlighting Norway as one of the teams that could go far in the championship. It turned out they were right.

The "Vikings" reached the quarterfinals, eliminating Brazil among others along the way, but they couldn't make it to the top four - they were stopped by England (2:1).

The best player of the Scandinavian team, Erling Haaland, failed to be a factor in the duel with "proud Albion" - he only had two shots, one of which went into the goal frame, but was not dangerous.

"This has been a crazy journey. I think this has changed my life, to be honest," Haaland said after the match.

Regardless, this is the greatest success in the history of the Norwegian national football team.

"I think we put Norway on the football map," the Manchester City striker underlined.
