Erling Haaland's dad branded salty for five-word reaction to England beating Norway

After watching Erling Haaland be eliminated from the FIFA World Cup, Alfie Haaland has voiced his opinion on the game on social media with a blunt five-word message.

Haaland has had a stellar World Cup tournament, scoring in every game he's played in until the England match.

But England managed to contain the Manchester City brute, with teammates Marc Guehi, John Stones, and Nico O'Reilly keeping his involvement to a very minimal standard.

The game itself took some big swings in momentum with key refereeing decisions going each way, while a freak goal for Norway was thwarted by a goalkeeping mistake to allow for Bellingham's winner.

Yet it was the officiating that has made the biggest stir for both camps, and now Alfie Haaland has lashed out.

Alfie Haaland slated for 'salty' post-match critiques

The opening goal for England has become a controversial point in the match following the full-time whistle, as Norway players allege that the ball hit a camera line in the air, causing it to drop at the feet of Elliot Anderson and starting the attack.

Norway was also denied a goal after Haaland was spotted to have committed a foul in the build-up to a corner, causing the introduction of a new rule.

England had their own run-ins with VAR, as the virtual assistant overturned a penalty on Djed Spence.

Yet Alfie Haaland has implied that the referee was all in favour of England as he took to social media.

"Well done Bellingham and referee," he said on X, in a reply to a Fabrizio Romano post.

Of course, England fans were less than pleased by this.

"Stay humble and accept the defect and stop this," one fan replied, referencing Erling's comments to Mikel Arteta in the Premier League this year.

Another added, "You're a sore loser.. Silly clown."

Others were more sympathetic, although there's nothing that they can do to change the result now.

"He’s not wrong to be salty, Clattenburg himself said on air that hitting the cable should’ve stopped play entirely and the goal never happened," a third person posted.

Haaland senior was also spotted giving the flying birds to Djed Spence after mimicking diving signals.

The Norwegian ex-pro also took aim at forward player Sørloth, who squandered a key opportunity in the first half by failing to pass to Erling Haaland.

"People will talk about the spidercam controversy. People will talk about the disallowed goal. But for me, the biggest moment came when Norway had the chance to kill the game.

"Alexander Sørloth had runners around him. He had options. He had teammates screaming for the pass. Instead, he chose to go alone.

"Football is cruel. One decision, one pass, one moment can change an entire tournament.

"Norway were brave and they should be proud, but when I look back at this match, I keep thinking about that attack. It felt like the chance to put the nail in England’s coffin.

Haaland will still be proud of his efforts in the World Cup, though, especially with that performance against Brazil, which will undoubtedly go down as one of his finest hours.
