The Norwegian Armed Forces take the “Viking Row” to another level and fans can’t get enough

If you've been watching the 2026 World Cup, then no doubt you know about Norway's Cinderella story, especially after they beat five-time champions Brazil yesterday in a match that wasn't even that close, thanks to superstar Erling Haaland and goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland. I have a feeling the team got even more pumped up before the match after the Norwegian Armed Forces created a "Viking Row" video, which features different branches of the military performing the Viking Row on land, in the air, and at sea. After seeing the video go viral across multiple social channels and reading the comments, it's clear Norway's World Cup team isn't the only one fired up. It seems everyone is loving it, as you can see from some of the comments below—except, of course, fans of the teams they've beaten. Especially Brazilians, who saw their powerhouse team suffer its earliest World Cup exit in 36 years. @davidpreston96: Aotearoa New Zealand here: We've decided that this is right up there with the Haka for putting a lump in your throat and making the hairs on the back of your neck stand up 🙃 @alanjohnogorman: Off to the gym this morning. The rowing machine will never be boring again. Thanks, Norway! @lizzyluvsalfie: This is what the tournament should be all about! Good, clean fun and sportsmanship. Pride in one's team, people, and country. Cool! 🇳🇴 all the way! @denisewilliams9512: I love how the whole of Norway has got behind their team 💖 Norway's next match is on Saturday, July 11, when they take on England at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, at 5:00 p.m. ET. For what it's worth, I'll be rooting for Norway the rest of this tournament, unless they run into Team USA. And even if they do knock the U.S. out, I don't think I'd be too upset. There's something about the way they're playing and how the whole country and world seems to be behind them.
