"I haven't thought too much about that because my main goal was to qualify," Haaland told ESPN'sSo when England ousted Norway in a hard-fought 2-1 win in Miami on Saturday, July 11, Haaland was sad, but the"It's been unreal, honestly," Haaland said.
"The performances is one thing — beating Brazil is one thing — but I think how we put Norway on the map is maybe one thing that touches me the most. I think, with the Row, with how good people we are — I think we are good people — that really touches me.
We put Norway on the map, and hopefully, now, we can establish something when it comes to Euros, World Cups, and everything because our generation is amazing. And also, I hope this gives motivation to young people back in Norway that it's possible.
""After being in the quarterfinals with Norway and going straight to holiday, it's quite nice," he said. "I'm quite happy with my life. I'm enjoying it. I'm in a good place.
It's kind of difficult to take in this kind of a show or a roller coaster we've been in now for the past six weeks because it's so much. It's been so much impressions. It's been so much feelings. Again, I think this changes Norway.
I think it changes me.
