Harry Kane And Erling Haaland, Best Known For Their Gaming Skins, Are Facing Off This Weekend At The World Cup

So the World Cup semifinal is set: England vs Norway, Kane vs Haaland. And yeah, the football's gonna be intense, but I can't help thinking about how both of these guys are basically gaming characters at this point. Kane's been a Fortnite skin for years, and Haaland got his own Clash of Clans skin a while back. It's like watching a crossover event nobody asked for but everyone's secretly into.

Haaland's the one that caught my eye though. Dude's a massive Xbox fan and from what I saw in that earlier article, he's just as hyped for GTA 6 as we are. Imagine being a world-class striker, about to play a World Cup semifinal, and still finding time to think about cruising around Vice City. That's dedication.

I'm not saying Rockstar should put him in the game or anything, but if there's a random Norwegian flag on a boat in Port Gellhorn, I'm gonna assume it's a nod. Anyone else hoping he drops some GTA 6 references during the post-match interview?
