World Cup brings global fans to America’s heartland, boosts Kansas City’s profile
Fox News correspondent Garrett Tenney reports on how Kansas City, Mo., is welcoming thousands of soccer fans from around the world as it hosts World Cup matches on ‘Fox Report.’
Norway’s boat-rowing (even if historically inaccurate) run through the World Cup has come to an end after a 2-1 quarterfinal loss to England
The match wasn’t without controversy, however, as Norway surprisingly substituted one of the tournament’s most electric players, Erling Haaland
The Manchester City star had seven goals in the tournament, but was kept scoreless on Saturday

Worse yet, it was a pre-corner foul of his that cost Norway what would’ve been their second goal of the match
However, it was shocking to see the 25-year-old get subbed off in favor of Jorgen Strand Larsen
Of course, many wondered whether Haaland had sustained an injury, but let’s just say the decision to pull him with 15 minutes left in extra time and Norway trailing by a goal wasn’t a popular one on social media
Jeez, tell us how you really feel!

Of course, we’ll certainly get some more info on this after the fact — I’m not super familiar with Norwegian sports media, but I’m sure they’ll ask manager Ståle Solbakken about this one — but it’s still disappointing

Haaland had an incredible tournament and became one of the most popular players in it. It’s just a bummer to see his tournament end with him sitting on the bench, whether that was due to injury or because of a questionable substitution
It was still a great run for Norway, and I don’t think it would be wild to see something like this again four years from now in Saudi Arabia at the next World Cup
