Norwegian Fans Paint NYC Red, White, and Blue in World Cup Takeover
The rowdy, colorful supporters have descended, turning subway cars and Times Square into a mobile block party of chants and flags ahead of their team's match.
A wave of red, white, and blue has crashed over Manhattan, not from the harbor but from the North Sea. Norwegian football supporters, famous for their boisterous and good-natured invasions, have arrived in New York City for the FIFA World Cup, immediately transforming subway cars and public plazas into mobile, chanting blocks of national pride. Videos circulating on social media show packed subway trains echoing with Norwegian folk songs and football anthems, while the iconic digital screens of Times Square now serve as a backdrop for a sea of waving flags and coordinated jumping from hundreds of fans.
