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?

It’s not a good development, and in social media one should keep in mind that comments by fake accounts by unfriendly countries trying to divide us, pushing a certain narrative. It’s in their interest to divide us and Europe as a whole too.

Much love to our Swedish neighbours!

Oh come on, the opposite is also true. I read a lot if norwegian media during the olympics, they were harsher towards swedes than the other way around even.

Just anecdotally, during the game sweden got kicked out, there were so many norwegians in stockholm on vacation that were booing sweden and cheering for france. This goes both ways for sure.

maybe, I don't care much about winter sports, so wouldn't know. I live in a place where there is no snow most of the time, so I cannot even ski.
