Erling Haaland’s remarkable performance during the World Cup match between Norway and Iraq was a cause for celebration that resonated even physically throughout the country. According to reports from L’Equipe, the Norwegian seismic station recorded minor underground tremors coinciding with the moments Haaland scored his historic goals.
The Bergen seismic station detected these tremors precisely as Haaland found the back of the net, highlighting the enthusiasm of Norwegian fans. This match was particularly significant for Haaland, as it marked his first-ever brace in a World Cup, with Norway returning to the tournament for the first time since 1999—well before Haaland’s birth.
