Norway's "Viking Row" chant at the World Cup has also caught on with their US hosts after airport police in Texas greeted the team by sitting on the tarmac and rowing in unison.

"Texas rolled out the red carpet for Norway," Fox News wrote in a X post on Monday with the corresponding video.

Norway play Ivory Coast in the last 32 on Tuesday with the winner facing Brazil in the last 16.

Norway coach Ståle Solbakken told a news conference he did not see the special welcome but wondered if his side's fans should patent their chant.
