Alfie Inge Haaland, father of Norwegian soccer star Erling Haaland, is causing controversy after he was caught making a rude finger gesture on the broadcast screen during the quarterfinals of the 2026 North and Central America World Cup. According to British media outlet The Sun on the 12th (local time), Norway lost 1-2 to England in the quarterfinals of the World Cup held at Miami Stadium in the United States after a fierce battle in extra time. Norway, which had the surprise of advancing to the quarterfinals for the first time in history, ended its journey at the threshold of the semifinals. Holland, who started this day, played until the first half of overtime, but only had two shots. Holland made an impressive World Cup debut by scoring seven goals in five games in this tournament. He played a leading role in leading Norway to the finals for the first time in 28 years and was also a major contributor to the victory over Brazil in the round of 16. Despite his disappointing performance against England, he was the player who brought the greatest joy to Norwegian fans. The problem was his father who was in the stands. Alfie Inge Haaland was watching the quarter-final match from the stands and could not hide his frustration when England turned the game around in extra time.
