Erling Haaland gave classiest statement after Norway World Cup loss

[ASFN Admin]

Norway soccer superstar Erling Haaland has been the true breakout of this year's World Cup, and he gave the classiest postgame interview after his team's quarterfinal exit on Saturday in Miami.

While Norway arguably should have won the game over a controversial England goal, Haaland still took the high road in putting the moment in admirable perspective and hyping up Norway's future on the world stage.

"We're building on something in Norway," Haaland told reporters after the game. "I think we're there now, and it's about maintaining this because, again, we've shown that it's possible... We gave [England] a good fight."

You should listen to the whole statement, one with plenty of wisdom and tons of humility. What a guy.

That's a great question.

How about some Haaland memes while we're here?​

You got it.
