It’s rare to see airlines having this much fun on social media nowadays (well, aside from Ryanair roasting its customers), so huge credit to British Airways and Norwegian Air Shuttle for their World Cup rivalry, and for following through on their promises…

The beardy guy with the tea cup looks suspiciously beardy . The Norwegian player with the top-knot also looks suspicious . Beards and top-knots do not make champions .
Remember how the Norwegian men’s national soccer team brought its own food to the 2026 World Cup because it doesn’t trust the quality of food in the US? (Sorry, I'm being told that's 'fake' news, and the 'alternative' facts are that they would all die if they don't eat Norwegian salmon, aka, they did this 'to maintain consistency in players’ diets and provide a taste of home.')
And where does Thorbjorn Topknot, known to the rest of the world as Erling Haaland, play his pro ball? He's only one of the world's greatest strikers. Respect him.
Knowing BA, their lawyers will now turn around and sue Norwegian for using their logo.
As a chef working in the US, their caution was more than justified. Good luck getting what you want on time these days, regardless of which monopoly foodservice provider you choose.
Timtamtrak, I'm 100% with you on the topic; however, on form (not to be a grammar fascist, but...), I think you may have inadvertently created a 'dangling modifier.' Like, if *you* are the chef working in the US, you meant to say, 'As a chef working in the US, I feel that their caution...' Or, if you meant to say the entire Norwegian soccer team are chefs working in the US, 'As chefs working in the US, they felt...' (though I find the latter situation highly unlikely). Teehee. *Roman salute to grammar correctness*
This is great. Authentic, not overproduced, clearly bottom up, but intelligent social media content. Well done BA/Norweigan
Haaland is the winner of the English Premier League's Golden Boot three out of the last four years. And his father was a strong member of the Leeds team.
Ah, yes, fair enough - I am the chef I was referring to, although I’d be more than happy to sample the offerings if the Norwegian soccer team decided to whip me up some salmon. 😛
There are only four matches left. I don't know what I'm going to do with my life once it's all over. It's been so much fun!
