The Scots have discovered their Norwegian ancestry. πŸ˜‚

🎀 Whisper Transcript (en) ⏱ 112s

"It's been a long journey for us Norwegian fans. We haven't been to the World Cup since 1998, and honestly I wondered if we'd ever get back again. But we're here, we're in the quarter-finals and I've never been more proud of my country. Row! Row! Row! Gordon, is everything okay? Just f***ing row, would you? People think we only have Erling Haaland, but they're so wrong. Well, who else have you got? Don't know. Charlie, weren't you Mexican the other day? Not me, pal. But did you know that the modern-day cheese slicer was invented by a Norwegian? And his name is Thor. It's called grekfisk. It's a trout that's salted and fermented for up to a year, then eaten raw. It's very pungent. Most people outside Norway wouldn't be able to stomach it, but we're built differently here. Yeah, it's good. Mm-mm. People have been sleeping on Norway for too long. Not anymore. The Vikings are on the march. And what's this team called that we're playing next? England. We're not here just to make up the numbers. Don't know who we're playing next. Yes, you do. It's England. But then for the hell of a battle, much like the Battle of Hilsfjord, which was fought between 872 and 900 and resulted in the unification of Norway. When will this end, Gordon? Roll!"
