FIFA World Cup 2026:

FIFA World Cup 2026 coverage has spilled from the pitch into the conversation around Norway’s “Viking Row” celebration, as Sweden’s Gustaf Lagerbielke said he is “never going to” do it. Speaking at a press conference Tuesday local time, the Sweden defender joked that broadcasters zoom in on the gesture every time, likening it to an Icelandic volcano and adding “whatever floats your boat.” His teammate Elliot Stroud agreed it may be becoming overused, though he noted it still works well for Norway. The Viking Row was led by Norway captain Martin Odegaard after the team’s qualification to the knockout stage, following a 3-2 win over Senegal. Reuters was cited for the comments. The article places the moment within World Cup celebrations in Texas on June 25.
