Norway score with minutes to go before overtime.
Brazil in trouble.

Norway is playing good football here. Great keeper - saved an early penalty.

That was a beautiful shot.

I think Brazil's mystique has been shattered forever. The world knows they can be beaten.

Playing for big money destroyed the community driven nationalist football project - same with West Indies cricket.

They lost fair and square. Reputation does not mean victory.
Good for underdogs Norway. A beautiful second goal.

overall though, I was underwhelmed by Brazil throughout the tournament. Vinícius Júnior however looked good and seems to be someone who could become the core of a revitalized team in four years.

Great game. I wasn't rooting for either side, just enjoyed the spectacle. Learned about the "Terminator" who is that big blonde dude.

Maybe this will write history in Norway," Haaland said. "Everyone just need to enjoy themselves. This is just an insane day. It's one of the most insane days in Norwegian history. Just enjoy it, embrace it and enjoy the moment."

Yellow-clad Seleção fans outnumbered those in Norway red, many of whom did the now-famous Viking Row in the stands -- with Brazil supporters even cheering it before kickoff. Brazil's fans were stunned silent when it returned after the game, with Haaland banging the drum and leading the celebration.
