Dear Norway fans,
Thank you & I’ll say it again… you have been, beyond any argument, the most extraordinary supporters at this entire tournament.
From a country of five and a half million people, you crossed oceans, packed out stadiums, dressed American streets in red and white and transformed every single fixture into a carnival of noise, pride and unshakeable joy.
Three decades away from football’s biggest stage, and yet you returned carrying no sense of entitlement: only pure, infectious energy.
Your team repaid every ounce of that devotion, reaching a first ever World Cup quarter-final in the nation’s history, smashing straight through the old ceiling of the last 16 that had stood since 1938 and 1998. a stunning knockout of Brazil to even get there (a nation Norway have somehow never lost to across World Cup history).
The Viking Row wasn’t just a celebration for your own players. It moved rivals. It captivated neutrals. It swept up the entire watching planet.
England brought the run to a close. But nothing can erase what unfolded here. The finest chapter Norwegian football has ever produced. Walk away with your heads held high.
Thank you, Norway. For the emotion. For the history you carved out. For the row we’ll be talking about for years to come. Unforgettable. 🇳🇴

Clean your room before you save the world - or in this case, destroy national pride.
Om du er i tvil om at jødehatet blomstrer, er det bare å lese dette innlegget.
Paradoksalt nok ønsker palestinakomiteen å straffe Israels påståtte brudd på folkeretten gjennom kollektiv avstraffelse, noe som er et brudd på folkeretten.
Leser man kommentarfeltet, kan det heldigvis se ut som om folk flest er lei av disse ekstremistene.

You can't make this up. The Gaza Flotilla activist Thiago Avila entered the court in Israel with his hands tied behind his back as if he were handcuffed.
The reality is... he is not even handcuffed.
They lie as they breathe.

JUST IN: The Pentagon approved an $11.4 million software upgrade for Israel’s F-35I fleet on the same day the IDF executed its largest coordinated strike in Lebanon since the war began. One hundred Hezbollah targets in ten minutes. The timing is not coincidental. It is architectural.
Israel flies the only sovereign-customised F-35 variant on earth. No other country receives what Israel receives. The United Kingdom flies a standard F-35B with US-controlled software. Japan flies a standard F-35A with US-controlled upgrades. Australia, Italy, South Korea, the Netherlands, every other operator in the programme receives American hardware running American code under American scheduling.
Israel receives something categorically different. The F-35I Adir is built on the same airframe and engine as the American F-35A, but it carries Israeli-made electronic warfare suites from Elbit Systems, Israeli command-and-control software layered over the US baseline, Israeli weapons integration for munitions like the Python-5 and SPICE, conformal fuel tanks extending range beyond 1,700 kilometres, and a plug-and-play open architecture that allows Israeli engineers to modify, upgrade, and adapt the aircraft independently without American approval. No other nation on earth has this permission. It is codified in American law.
The Qualitative Military Edge policy originated after the 1967 Six-Day War, was formalised under Reagan in 1981, and was written into binding statute in 2008. It requires the President of the United States to certify that any arms sale to any other nation in the Middle East will not adversely affect Israel’s qualitative military edge. When Saudi Arabia negotiates for F-35s, the aircraft must be deliberately downgraded relative to what Israel already flies. The law does not merely prefer Israel. It mandates Israeli superiority as a condition of every other transaction in the region.
This is the bond that produced the 100-target strike today. The F-35I Adir that flew over Beirut this morning carries Israeli sensors seeing through Hezbollah’s electronic countermeasures, Israeli weapons hitting Radwan Force command bunkers, and Israeli software coordinating with American intelligence feeds in real time. The $11.4 million upgrade the Pentagon just approved adds three new software data loads for enhanced sensor fusion, electronic warfare, and weapons integration, ensuring the next generation of strikes is even more precise.
The upgrade connects directly to Trump’s 50 percent tariff threat posted hours earlier. China shipped sodium perchlorate from Gaolan Port to Iran on five vessels in the past six weeks, enough propellant precursor for hundreds of ballistic missiles. Those missiles are what Hezbollah fires at Israel. The F-35I is what destroys the launchers. The tariff is what prices the cost of supplying the launchers at 50 percent of China’s entire American trade. The software upgrade is what ensures the F-35I stays ahead of whatever China ships next. Hardware, software, tariffs, and intelligence form a single integrated architecture that no other alliance on earth replicates.
Trump declared total and complete victory today. Netanyahu said the US is committed to shared goals. The IDF struck 100 Hezbollah targets in ten minutes. The Pentagon approved the next generation of the aircraft that made the strike possible. And the tariff threat ensures the adversary’s suppliers pay for the privilege of arming the targets.
This is not an alliance. It is an operating system. And today it executed at full capacity.
