- Erling has been on an absolute tear at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, scoring five goals in his first three matches and firing Norway into the knockout stage. He also became the fastest player in international football history to reach 60 career goals, needing just 53 appearances.
- Whoever convinced Erling to download Snapchat, thank you for your service. Haaland has become an unlikely social media icon thanks to his completely unfiltered stories, from eating his first New York deli sandwich to fully committing to cowboy cosplay in Texas. Elite striker, elite content creator.
- When he’s not scoring goals, Erling says he usually cooks dinner for his longtime partner Isabel, and the two spend their evenings playing Minecraft together building houses. Somehow one of the most intimidating strikers on Earth is also just…a Minecraft boyfriend?
- He’d happily trade Champions League nights for farm life someday. Haaland has said he hopes to retire from football early to start a small farm where he can raise pigs, cows, and goats. Forget TV analyst or coach, this sounds like the life!
- Before he was breaking scoring records, he was dropping bars. As a teenager, Erling and a few Norwegian youth teammates recorded a rap under the name ‘Flow Kingz’. The internet has made sure it will never be forgotten, tgod!
