Serious consequences. Alexander Sørloth receives death threats after match against England

The "Vikings" were knocked out of the World Cup after a defeat to England.

Details: According to RMCSport, Norway and Atlético striker Alexander Sørloth has come under a barrage of criticism following the 2026 World Cup quarterfinal against England.

The pivotal moment came at the end of the first half, when the Norwegians broke forward in a two-on-one attack. Instead of passing to the open Erling Haaland, Sørloth opted to take the shot himself, but his effort came to nothing. Many fans believe that a timely pass to Haaland would have all but guaranteed a goal.

After the match, the player faced a wave of negativity on social media. In addition to harsh criticism, he received insults and even death threats, sparking outrage throughout the football community.

Despite the emotional backlash from supporters, many have called for an end to the abuse, emphasizing that such threats are unacceptable regardless of the game's outcome.
