Norway continues to win the World Cup.
Erling Haaland and his Norwegian teammates were at Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final on Thursday, June 11. The players were sitting in a box, waving rally towels and having a grand old time. Man City's star forward even found a Carolina Hurricanes jersey during the game, ditching the polo he wore to the game for it.
The Hurricanes play in Raleigh, less than 90 minutes from where Norway is training in Greensboro, North Carolina. The Hurricanes beat the Vegas Golden Knights to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Norway is making its first appearance at the World Cup in almost 30 years — 28, to be exact — and they are making the most of it. They took the most iconic team photo ever, complete with a Viking ship, then did the sweetest, with each player wearing the jersey of their first club.
And before anyone starts clutching their pearls about Haaland and Co. going to the hockey game, Norway doesn't play until Tuesday. It opens the World Cup against Iraq in Boston. Norway then plays Senegal at MetLife Stadium on June 22 and finishes out the group stage with a June 26 game against France in Boston.
