🇳🇴 I wrote something personal on why I was drawn to Norwegian football, and how grateful I am for the impact it has had on both my life and my career.
Expect lots of mentions of Ronny Johnsen and Tromsø IL.
Takk, alle sammen!

England have one world class player and it’s Harry Kane.
Jun 12
I really don't agree with this extremely high bar for being world class
England have 6 world class players. Guehi, James, O'Reilly, Rice, Bellingham and Kane
Palmer, Foden, Saka and Anderson can be world class in future or have been in the past

Americans thinking athleticism is the number one determiner of whether you’re good at football is a take that never fails to amuse me.
Jun 12
I agreed until you said the US team has some of the best athletes the country has to offer…
Christian Pulisic is the best player we have and he’s not even half the ATHLETE Tyreek Hill is.
The rest of the world is just lucky soccer isn’t our number 1 sport.

These takes are always so funny.
The only reason why the US doesn’t win every World Cup is because our best athletes choose football, baseball, basketball, and hockey over soccer
It’s like we are sending our 5th string up against everyone else’s best

There exists a lot of animosity between the English and the Scottish, Irish and Welsh — much of it legitimate and some of it performative — but it’s a modern marvel how some Americans have managed to unite us all against them instead.

There’s an American in my replies who is trying desperately to bait a bunch of Europeans over my calling an American football pre-show something out of Glee, and it is one of the funniest things I’ve experienced in this hellscape of an app lately.

Some team 👀😮💨
ALT The United 2007/08 Premier League-winning team in the style of the 38-0 game. The image also shows United's record in the Premier League that season, the most common XI with their positions and game ratings, as well as highlighting our top scorer and player of the season: Cristiano Ronaldo.
