Team traitor? He didn’t pass to Haaland—Norwegian player gets slammed with 70k comments

I. Controversial moment: One hesitation changed the course of the match

　　1. The birth and collapse of a golden chance

　　In the 43rd minute of the first half, Ødegaard played a precise through ball, creating a perfect counterattack opportunity for Norway with a 2-on-1 in the front. Særloth advanced with the ball, while Haaland on the other side was completely unmarked in open space—and had already reached out for the pass. From the slow-motion replay, this was almost a textbook-level one-on-one chance—if he had just squared the ball across, Haaland would have faced an open goal directly, and Norway could almost have extended the score to 2-0.

　　

　　2. A technical error and a chain reaction

　　Særloth neither passed immediately nor took a decisive shot. Instead, he chose to slow down with the ball and cut inward to adjust, only shooting once England defender Stones had recovered into position—he was ultimately blocked out of play. Three minutes later, England’s Bellingham leveled the score, and they ultimately completed a comeback in extra time.

　　3. Post-match explanation from the person involved

　　After the match, Særloth publicly apologized to Haaland and the Norway team: “I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to my teammates, especially Haaland. I should have passed the ball earlier.” When a reporter followed up on why he didn’t pass, he explained: “When I got the ball, I couldn’t see him. By the time I did see him, it was already too late.”

　　

II. 70k criticisms: from fan rage to online abuse

　　1. A stark comparison in comment volume

　　Normally, Særloth’s social media comment section had only around 2,000 comments. After the match, the latest social media comment count surged to nearly 70,000.

　　2. Main angles of fan criticism

　　Ability and role awareness: “If your ability isn’t good enough, pass it to the person who is.”

　　Questioning team spirit: “Lower your self-awareness. I watched the whole match. You never pass—you always try to shoot on your own, but every single time it ends in failure.”

　　Criticism of tactical decisions: “In a 2-on-1 situation, is an assist really that hard? Are you even an England player?”

　　Labeling of how the game turned: “That hesitation dragged down the World Cup good situation Norway finally waited 28 years for.”

　　3. The “mole” label and conspiracy theories

　　Some fans directly called Særloth a “mole,” believing he had ulterior motives and didn’t want Haaland to be the main character. Analysts pointed out that Norway’s team mindset changed: “When some players saw Haaland bring Norway to such a high position, their mindset lost balance. They wanted to steal the spotlight and kick their own market value into the spotlight, but they didn’t have enough finishing ability themselves.”

　三、Haaland’s helplessness: a super striker isolated for the whole match

　　1. Heartbreaking touch statistics

　　All match long, Haaland managed only 21 touches and 2 shots—and the record of scoring in 14 consecutive national-team matches came to an end. “It’s not that he didn’t try. It’s just that the ball simply never got sent at his feet. Teammates kept ignoring his runs again and again, forcing the main center-forward to be nothing more than a spectator.”

　　2. A full-spectrum blockade from club teammates

　　England deployed three Manchester City teammates—Stones, Gey, and Aurélie—to tightly mark Haaland, using a “familiar faces” matchup to completely cut off his receiving routes. On-site footage shows Haaland repeatedly running into space, yet being ignored. His hands-up expression looks exactly like James in the 2018 Champions League final, Game 1.

　　3. Haaland’s attitude and response

　　Even in such a difficult situation, Haaland did not throw blame onto his teammates after the match. He admitted his mood was heavy, but also said: “We let the whole world see Norwegian football, and we brought Norway onto the world football map. This World Cup journey was like a show or a roller coaster—it changed Norway, and it changed me.”
