Norway’s striker Erling Haaland reminded former England forward Wayne Rooney of his promise of rowing in Liverpool. Norway’s rowing celebrating is going viral on social media and Rooney had said he would row down the River Mersey if the European nation manage to beat five-time champions Brazil in the round of 16.

Norway created history as Haaland scored a brace in his team’s 2-1 win against Carlo Ancelotti’s team. 

“I’m looking forward to seeing Wayne, Wayney boy. I’m looking forward to seeing Wayne Rooney rowing down in Liverpool,” Haaland said ahead of Saturday’s game. “That’s all I want to see now. Wayne Rooney, I expect you to go out on a rowing trip.”

Haaland expressed his delight after Norway stunned Brazil in the round of 16 contest.

“This is incredible, this is mind-blowing,” Haaland said on his YouTube blog. “To win against Brazil and qualify for the quarterfinals was not on our bucket list. It still doesn’t feel real because it’s just so far off like I could never think of this happening, which also makes it so crazy in my head that we actually managed to beat Brazil and go through.”

The Manchester City forward took four touches inside the box against Brazil and scored twice. Haaland said the group has been enjoying their football.

“We just played football and enjoyed it,” he said. “I remember I said it right before the game started, ‘guys, no matter what happens, just smile and enjoy it, just live in the moment because we did everything we can’ and now we’re in quarterfinals with our shoulders down, just enjoying, enjoying playing football.”

“I think we played unbelievable but to have 250 million or how many it is in Brazil to expect you to win a football game is not easy,” Haaland said. “So the pressure is on them and you could kind of see that.”

Norway will face England in the quarterfinals.
