A viral Puducherry jersey seller, P. Selvi alias Selvi Amma, hilariously mimicked Norwegian and Manchester City star striker Erling Haaland’s famous walk. Haaland was recently part of the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2026, where Norway reached the knockout stage for the first time since the 1998 edition of the tournament.
Erling Haaland was a central figure in Norway's historic run at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where the team reached the quarter-finals for the first time. However, Norway's campaign eventually ended with a 2-1 defeat to England in Miami. The 25-year-old was the leading goal-scorer for the Norwegian side with seven goals in six matches.
The Manchester City striker couldn’t have asked for a better World Cup debut than the one he experienced in 2026, where he enthralled the footballing world with his goal-scoring prowess and helped elevate Norway to its most successful tournament performance in history.
