Since the FIFA World Cup began, Erling Haaland has been actively engaging on social media, frequently commenting on Instagram posts. Content creators have been eager to capture a comment or reaction from the Manchester City star.
Among these creators is Siowei, known for crafting amusing stories about interacting with celebrities or forming friendships with them. This week, she produced an Instagram reel about Haaland, which caught the attention of the Norwegian star. In her humorous narrative on befriending the Manchester City player, she suggested:
“How to become Haaland’s friend? First, go to the supermarket to get a fishing rod. Then, head to the river and use your left hand to fish. Get 10 fish and you will unlock bigger biceps. Now, go to town and start a small pasta stall. Start cooking and use your big biceps to throw the pasta into the air over and over again. Haaland will spot the flying pasta and start rushing towards your pasta stall. He will ask you to style his hair with the pasta because that’s the secret to his shiny hair. He will look into the mirror and become happy. Now you’ll be good friends.”
Haaland found the story amusing and reacted with a strong emoji and a Grinning Face with Sweat emoji. Typically, he comments “nice” on most posts but found himself at a loss for words with this video.
Norway striker Erling Haaland on the 2026 FIFA World Cup
Norwegian striker Erling Haaland reflected on his team’s surprising performance at the FIFA World Cup, where he scored seven goals. He remarked on their unexpected journey to the quarterfinals, stating:
“I definitely didn’t expect this at all. I said it plenty of times before – even before the Brazil game, I didn’t expect – and I didn’t expect us to be in the quarterfinals with Norway in the World Cup. It’s quite surprising even for me.”
“Playing Brazil was kind of crazy for us Norwegians, and to win against Brazil and to go and play England in the quarterfinals in the World Cup in the USA is quite special. I think if you watch the scenes back in Norway [you can see] it’s not normal for Norway.”
Ultimately, England eliminated Norway in the quarterfinals, with Haaland unable to score. Jude Bellingham secured a brace, propelling the Three Lions into the semifinal, where they were defeated by Argentina.
