Erling Haaland, 25, got off the plane in Oslo on July 13 and was carrying no trophies or medals. He was carrying a stuffed raccoon holding an empty bottle between its paws, as if it were the most important passenger on the flight 🦝
Norway were eliminated in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup after losing 2-1 to England in extra time, despite Haaland being a machine: 7 goals, including a brace against Brazil. But what everyone is talking about today is that stuffed animal he bought for 750 dollars at Wild Bill’s Western Store, a shop in Dallas, Texas.
Days earlier, he had already shown three stuffed raccoons on his social media without saying what he wanted them for. Now you know as much as the rest of the world: nothing. Haaland has not explained a single word about why he decided to return home with such a travel companion 😅
