Fans baffled after seeing who was performing 'Viking Row' in crowd during England game

An unexpected face was spotted in the Miami Stadium crowd during Saturday's World Cup quarter-final between Norway and England – and he even joined in with the viral 'Viking Row' chant.

England will face defending champions Argentina in a mouth-watering semi-final on Wednesday (June 15) after a brace from Jude Bellingham secured a 2-1 win over Stale Solbakken's Norway.

It has been an eventful World Cup campaign for the Three Lions, who topped Group L with seven points from three games following wins over Croatia and Panama, as well as a 0-0 draw against Ghana.

A brace from the ever-reliable Harry Kane against DR Congo secured a round of 16 tie against co-hosts Mexico, which turned into one of the more entertaining match-ups of the World Cup so far.

In fact, the 3-2 win has been given a 9/5/10 rating by fans on Series Graph, the second-highest rated game of the tournament behind Argentina's round of 32 win over Cape Verde.

One of the standout performers from that Mexico side was 17-year-old wonderkid Gilberto Mora, who was actually in the stands on Saturday to watch England take on Norway.

Mora, who plays his club football with Liga MX side Tijuana, was pictured alongside his agent Rafaela Pimenta ahead of kick-off.

And later on in the game, the attacking midfielder, who was wearing a Norway shirt, could be seen performing the now-iconic 'Viking Row' chant as he sat alongside hundreds of Norwegian supporters in Miami.

Fans were surprised to see Mora on their TV screens as he joined in with the chant.

One wrote: "This is the last person I expected to be the surprise guest I am in tears," and another commented: "Dang that's wild."

A third said: "Gilberto Mora lost to England twice in the same World Cup. Heartbreaking."

A fourth wrote: "Wait… I didn’t know Gilberto Mora and Haaland shared the same agent. That’s actually a pretty interesting connection," and a fifth added: "Crossover I didn't know I needed."

Liverpool plotting summer move for Gilberto Mora

Mora, who is widely regarded as one of the best young players in world football, is attracting interest from a host of top clubs following a breakthrough campaign with club and country.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are said to be keen, while Arsenal are also tracking the talented Mexican.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are plotting a summer move to sign Mora, according to a report from Football Insider, which claims the club are 'primed to make a move' if they are given any indication he could leave Tijuana.

"He's one of the breakout stars of the World Cup. Liverpool are one of those clubs who've registered an interest in Mora, and are keeping tabs on Mora," said transfer journalist Pete O'Rourke.

"Real Madrid are interested in him, you've got Barcelona, Man City, Chelsea, PSG, Bayern Munich. If there's any indication that he is ready to make a move, I'm sure you'll have all those big teams after him."
