An explosion of scoring and joy, it turns out. 

Haaland has now scored at least one goal in each of Norway’s last dozen competitive matches. Overall, Haaland has 59 goals in 52 matches for Norway; according to StatMuse, this prolific scoring rate gives Haaland the best goal-per-match ratio by any player with more than 50 international goals in the last 100 years.

But these players face a burden that he doesn’t: national fan bases who demand World Cup titles. Sure, Messi finally won his championship with Argentina four years ago in Qatar. But that country’s soccer-mad fans are thirsting for a World Cup repeat, which hasn’t been done in 64 years. Plus, a fourth World Cup title would put Argentina just one behind its archrival, Brazil, for the most ever. France, a dynamic team that’s the betting favorite to win it all, is seeking to avenge its final loss to Argentina from 2022. And poor Harry Kane. England invented the game but infamously hasn’t won a World Cup since 1966. Kane is under immense pressure to help end this drought. Kane scored two goals in England’s opening-game win over Croatia but missed a gimme against Ghana yesterday in a 0-0 draw, sending pubs into conniption. (A Ghanaian witch doctor reportedly put a curse on Kane.)

So he can just enjoy himself at this World Cup and do things like encourage his team to do the Viking Row—the viral Norwegian fan cheer that has been done on an escalator in Boston, a New York City subway, and in the middle of Times Square—on the New York New Jersey Stadium field after Norway beat Senegal 3-2 on Monday. On Instagram, he’s sharing stories of little kids and the elderly doing the Viking Row. Before the Senegal game, he spent a few hours wandering around New York City, expressing surprise that he wasn’t recognized more often (who does he think he is, Josh Hart?). He stopped by Katz’s Delicatessen.
