While we argue, Norway rows. Their parliament uniquely supported Haaland and co.

The Norwegian parliament joined the fans of their national football team, who mimicked a rowing routine in the style of their Viking ancestors during the World Cup match against Iraq (4:1).

Norwegian fans were captured not only by cameras at the stadium in Foxborough but also in bars, elevators, and public transport. Their rowing routine is an evolution of the Viking clap, popularized by Icelandic fans at Euro 2016. The difference is that after two accelerating drum beats, Icelanders clapped their hands, while Norwegians rowed back and forth in their seats.

The Viking rowing in parliament was initiated by its chairman on Thursday as a sign of support for the national football team in the USA. The team will also have royal support during their second Group I match of the World Cup against Senegal (June 23, 2:00 AM CEST). The children of Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit will be present at the stadium in East Rutherford, DPA reported.
