Erling Haaland spends roughly $10,000 on Western-themed items in Dallas after World Cup exit
Norwegian striker Erling Haaland and four teammates purchased Western clothing and novelty taxidermy in Dallas, spending about $10,000 following Norway's quarter-final loss at the World Cup.
Norwegian forward Erling Haaland and four Norway national-team players visited Wild Bill's Western Store in Dallas after the squad's elimination from the World Cup on July 11. The group bought a range of Western-style apparel, including cowboy boots, hats, shirts and belt buckles, as well as novelty taxidermy items such as two squirrels—one wearing a sheriff's hat and another depicted with a beer can—priced at roughly $450 each, and a raccoon holding a liquor bottle that cost about $750. The total expenditure was reported to be around $10,000, which Haaland covered for his teammates.
The purchases were reported by a media outlet citing a source familiar with the transaction. The players returned to Norway after the shopping trip.
