Norwegian skier Emil Iversen shared a lighthearted moment, admitting he had forgotten that Italy's national team failed to qualify for the FIFA World Cup 2026. Iversen had purchased an Italy jersey with the intention of supporting them during the tournament.
"Damn! Italy didn't make it to the World Cup! How could I forget that?" Iversen told NRK. "Perhaps no one there cares about football right now."
In contrast, Norway successfully qualified for the World Cup and advanced from their group. They are scheduled to play Ivory Coast in the 1/16 finals today, June 30.
