There was naturally a loud whistling from the home supporters when Erling Braut Haaland sent Norway up 2-0 at Friends arena on Sunday night. According to Expressen and Aftonbladet, there were also several “hate Norway” shouts in the wake of the scoring. It is also not uncommon to hear at football stadiums, but the shouts did not go down well with the “Yellow Wall”. The organization arranges trips and gatherings in connection with Sweden’s international matches. – Not something we are behind CEO Andreas Richt tells Expressen that they would make a mark when they heard the shouts. – There was about a quarter of an hour left of the match when “we hate Norway” was shouted for the third time. We are not behind that. Then we left the group. Hatred is not something we stand behind, Richt tells Expressen. news did not notice the shouts towards the end of the match, nor was it visible that yellow-clad people disappeared from the short side. Richt estimates that there are hundreds in their core circle who share his view. – In general, the grandstand culture for the Swedish national team is very good, but the message here is to leave the hatred at home, says Richt, who also understands that not everyone agrees with him. On Monday, news tried to get in touch with Richt without success. Swedish frustration after Norway loss: – My God, it hurts Penalty controversy Haaland celebrated the mentioned 2-0 goal by hissing at the Swedish audience, but it was especially the 1-0 goal that was discussed in the wake of the match. The Swedes thought they were totally doomed when Morten Thorsby was awarded a penalty kick. Was it right to give a penalty kick? National team manager Janne Andersson was furious and thought it was better to drop VAR since this penalty kick was standing. When national team manager Ståle Solbakken met news and the Norwegian press on Monday, he had had a closer look at the situation. – It can be judged, because it is contact. That’s probably more the way Morten might fall afterwards. But there is contact, and he gets a little out of balance, so you can not say categorically that there is no punishment because he is on him, Solbakken told news.

I understand that very well, and we probably would have argued strongly for that ourselves, too. But it is not possible to categorically reject that there is contact and thus punishment, the national team manager continued. – If the referee had not blown – do you think VAR would have taken it then? – No, Solbakken stated. Thorsby himself pointed out after the match that there was contact. – I mean he takes away from me a great scoring opportunity, and I get out of balance and fall. The penalty situation is not one hundred percent clear. I feel it is a 50-50 situation where you can judge both ways. We have VAR. Had it been pure filming, VAR would have intervened. It was not. It was a touch. “I think it was right to sentence,” Thorsby told news. Ødegaard praises the Norway comet: – In all the Haaland hysteria, we must pay tribute to him a little
