“Sorry 🤷‍♂️”: Erling Haaland Has the Ultimate Reply After Fan Smashes TV During World Cup Thriller

Erling Haaland is already widely regarded as an absolute force of nature on the football pitch. But off the pitch, the Norwegian striker is cementing his status as one of the most hilariously unfiltered and chaotic personalities on social media.

The latest viral exchange unfolded on the heels of Norway's historic, jaw-dropping 2-1 upset against Brazil in the Round of 16 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Haaland single-handedly carried his nation to victory, breaking a tense, scoreless deadlock with a powerful 79th-minute header before sealing the legendary win with a ruthless, low drive from outside the penalty box in the 90th minute.

Haaland's world-class performance on the global stage has fans losing their minds—and their electronics.

The pure, unadulterated drama of the match was apparently too much to handle for one passionate supporter. Overwhelmed by adrenaline during Haaland's late-game masterclass, the fan aggressively cracked their television screen in the heat of the celebration.

The 2-Word Viral Response

Shortly after the match, the fan took to social media to share a picture of the destroyed electronics, tagging the Manchester City star and shouting: "Will you give me another television, okay?"

While most multi-millionaire athletes would completely look past a chaotic tag like that, Haaland stayed true to his reputation as the internet's favorite giant goofy gamer. He popped directly into the comment section to leave a deadpan, two-word apology that immediately sent football fans into stitches:

"Sorry 🤷‍♂️" — Erling Haaland via social media.

The incredibly casual response racked up hundreds of thousands of likes within minutes, with fans jumping in to praise the striker for actually interacting with his community. "Bro destroys a team's World Cup dreams and then just hits 'em with a sorry," one viral reply read. Others joked that the seller of the cursed Woody-Buzz doll on eBay should look into selling this fan a replacement TV parts kit.

Norway's magical World Cup run continues to dominate sports headlines, but it's safe to say Haaland is winning the online tournament by a landslide.
