Norway doing the Viking row

tactically speaking you could say the biggest thing here was the way the whole stadium shifted into one rhythm because when that happens it gives the players a proper lift and makes the opposition feel like the place has gone against them and even if the football itself wasnt the main talking point the emotional momentum from a celebration like that can matter more than people think
 
And of course the officials and the broadcast crew manage to make even this into a mess because the second anything fun starts happening everyone suddenly wants to cut away, stand around, or pretend there is some pressing reason not to let the moment breathe and it drives me insane, you finally get a proper stadium scene with players and fans all in sync and some clown on the production side thinks the best move is to rush off it or bury it under chatter, football is supposed to be about moments like this and the people in charge always find a way to flatten them, same with referees half the time too because they act like they are the main event, stopping play, talking too much, making themselves visible when nobody asked, just let the game and the celebration happen instead of interfering with everything and ruining the atmosphere for the sake of being seen
 
It is a simple celebration, but the crowd made it feel enormous. That is what gives moments like this their staying power.
