[Thor Joachim Haga]

Some weird referee decisions, to put it mildly (like the high wire stunts, or the Haaland incident where be barely pushed that defender). But I’m not going to hold that against them. England WAS the best team, even if only barely. So it’s deserved.

Two days now without any football. Again, I’m feeling withdrawal symptoms.

It’s a bit weird with all the hooplah surrounding Haaland, by the way. I grew up with his dad, Alf-Inge, as part of the previous “Golden Generation” of Norwegian footballers, at a time where we were ranked no. 2 in the world. He wasn’t brilliant, nowhere near his son, but he was part of that crowd. I think Alf-Inge played for Leeds too, or am I misremembering, Tall Guy?
