Ireland's players stood in silence with heads bowed as Israel's national anthem played, wearing black armbands in mourning for the thousands of Palestinians killed in Israel's genocide in Gaza, and refused to shake hands with Israeli players before kickoff.
Erling Haaland has been offside 25 times in four years of Premier League football.
That is once every five games, 76 behind top-of-the-table Dominic Calvert-Lewin and fewer times per 90 minutes than full-backs Riccardo Calafiori, Andy Robertson and Pervis Estupinan.
He was not caught offside once in five games at the World Cup.
It is all the more remarkable given that, since 2022, only four other Premier League players have made more runs in behind opposition defences.
He views this as a badge of honour, but how does he do it?

🚨🌕 Lamine Yamal on Ousmane Dembélé not including him into his top 3 for the Ballon d’Or: “He’s Kylian Mbappé’s friend, right?”. 😅
“I’m very happy with the season I had. I think every time we faced each other, I probably did something that made them dislike me! And that’s normal. My relationship with Ousmane is very good, and I understand that he wants to choose other players”.
“But I’m very happy with what I delivered this year, and I’m confident that everyone watched it, even if he didn’t”.
El video que trajo Jonás Gutiérrez ayer al especial que hicimos de Messi en @afaestudio es una joya. Lo trajo en la cámara que lo grabó (una reliquia), lo digitalizamos y salió esto. Increíble joya de colección.
🚨 The GOAT wrote in his message:
"I think the time has come." Then he crossed out the word "I think" and wrote instead: "I understand that the time has come." 🥺
