Dear Norway fans… you are, without question, the finest supporters this tournament has seen.
From a nation of just over five and a half million people, you travelled across oceans, filled stadiums, painted American streets red and white and turned every single game into a festival of noise, pride and pure joy.
28 years away from the World Cup stage and you returned not with entitlement, but with energy. Not just with noise, but with meaning.
The Viking Row didn’t just inspire your players. It inspired everyone. Opponents. Neutrals. The entire watching world.
The quarter finals. You deserve every single second of it. Keep going. Keep rowing. Norway, the world is behind you. 🇳🇴

Rare: Japan Just Released Its First-Ever Video of China's Liaoning Carrier. Beijing's Story Collapses on Camera.
For the first time on record, Japan's Ministry of Defense (MOD) has publicly released video footage of the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) aircraft carrier CNS Liaoning under close Japanese surveillance in the Western Pacific. The Joint Staff Office of the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) posted the clip on July 3, breaking with decades of quiet monitoring practice.
The footage documents Liaoning's activity in late May and June, when the carrier and its escorts transited the Miyako Strait, ran flight operations near Okinotorishima and Minamitorishima, and racked up over 170 fighter and helicopter sorties in just three days between May 26 and 28. Across the full 40-day deployment from May 19 to June 22, JSDF destroyers including JS Asahi, maritime patrol aircraft, and Air Self-Defense Force fighters shadowed the strike group. The Japanese cameras were rolling the whole time.
Beijing tried to sell a very different story. State broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV) claimed the Liaoning had "warned off" Japanese warships and surveillance planes, and released its own edited footage framing Chinese professionalism against alleged Japanese provocation. The Chinese Ministry of National Defense (MND) called Japan's monitoring "outrageously audacious" and accused JSDF forces of running simulated attack drills against the carrier. That narrative required the audience to never see what Japan actually saw: the deck cycles, the launches, the escorts, the entire carrier group in Japanese crosshairs from the East China Sea through the Second Island Chain.
Now Japan has put it on the table. The Joint Staff Office rarely releases moving imagery of foreign warships, and it explained the break in convention as an effort to help the public understand the daily reality of the JSDF's national defense mission. The message travels well past Japan. Every ally reading the file now has visual confirmation that Tokyo tracked Liaoning through the entire deployment, exactly during the period the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda apparatus was insisting Japan had been "warned off."
That model of storytelling only works when the tape stays in the vault. Japan just released the tape.
