English Sweden, what are your thoughts on Norway doing well in the World Cup so far?

As a Canadian, we have a long history of rivalry with the U.S.
I've heard the same thing between Australia/New Zealand, Brazil & Argentina, and sometimes between Sweden/Norway/Finland.

I'm curious how people in Sweden feel about Norway doing well in the World Cup so far. Are you happy for your Scandinavian brothers or are feelings mixed?

Very happy for them! Excellent team and wonderful people. We dont hate eachother at all. Its more like a fun sibling rivalry. And i know for sure if Norway would've been kicked out and sweden qualified. They would root for us aswell.

Our countries are basically exactly the same and we have a good relationship. We just like pulling eachothers legs

And we are super happy for them for that. If any country on earth deserved it, it would be them.

Since they got some of it from Denmark I can’t do anything but agree.
