Must Watch Alexander Sorloth ANGRY Reply to Erling Haaland Fans About Not Giving Him the Pass Against England #erlinghaaland #sørloth #norwayvsengland The Alexander Sørloth–Erling Haaland controversy started during Norway's 2-1 extra-time defeat to England in the 2026 FIFA World Cup quarter-final. What happened? Norway were leading 1-0 and had a huge counterattack opportunity. Sørloth was through on goal with Haaland completely unmarked beside him in a two-on-one situation. Instead of passing to Haaland for what looked like an easy tap-in, Sørloth decided to shoot himself and missed the chance. England later came back and won 2-1 after extra time, knocking Norway out of the World Cup. Why is it controversial? Many fans believe that if Sørloth had passed, Haaland would have scored to make it 2-0, and Norway would likely have reached their first-ever World Cup semi-final. Social media exploded, with some supporters even accusing Sørloth of being "jealous" of Haaland. Did Haaland and Sørloth fall out? Rumors spread online that Haaland unfollowed Sørloth on Instagram after the match. However, these claims were false. Reports confirmed that Haaland still follows his teammate, and there is no evidence of any personal rift between them. Sørloth's explanation After the game, Sørloth said he believed he had the better angle to score and made the decision in the moment, though he admitted it was a painful miss. In short, the controversy is about one missed pass that may have cost Norway a historic World Cup semi-final spot, rather than any confirmed feud between Haaland and Sørloth
