"WELL PLAYED REFEREE": ERLING HAALAND'S FATHER FUCKED AT CLÉMENT TURPIN AFTER NORWAY'S ELIMINATION FROM THE 2026 WORLD CUP

Erling Haaland's father expressed his anger towards French referee Clément Turpin after Norway's elimination against England in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup (2-1 aet).

A bitter defeat. Norway's journey at the 2026 World Cup ended in the quarter-finals after being beaten by England in extra time (1-2). The Norwegians had taken the lead, but Jude Bellingham scored twice to send the Three Lions through to the semi-finals in a match officiated by Clément Turpin.

"I FEEL LIKE WE'VE BEEN ROBBED"

And some of the French referee's decisions were criticized, particularly by Scandinavian fans. Erling Haaland's father even expressed his anger on social media. "Well done Bellingham and the referee," Alfie Haaland wrote in a comment on a post about the English midfielder's performance.

And he added fuel to the fire regarding the refereeing by responding to a message from a British journalist praising Jude Bellingham's qualities. "Really? Saved by the referee. I hope you win the World Cup now. But I feel like we were robbed today," he lamented.

At the final whistle, a decision by Clément Turpin sparked particular controversy. Right at the end of the first half, the Norwegian goalkeeper cleared the ball, which reportedly struck a cable connected to an overhead camera before bouncing back onto the pitch, leading to England's equalizer. Despite protests from some Norwegian players and staff members, the goal stood.

"The sensor on the connected ball showed no peak in the 'pulsation of the ball' when it was in the air, and therefore there is no evidence that the ball touched the suspended cable and altered its trajectory," FIFA said on Sunday to put an end to the controversy and support Clément Turpin in his decision.

A Norwegian goal from a corner was also disallowed for a push by Erling Haaland on Elliot Anderson, reinforcing the feeling of injustice on the part of the Vikings who were nevertheless proud of their run in the competition.
