Alexander Sorloth faces death threats after failing to pass to Haaland; partner reveals abuse
Norwegian striker Alexander Sorloth has been targeted with hateful messages and death threats. The backlash followed a moment during the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-final against England, where Sorloth opted to take a shot rather than setting up Erling Haaland during a two-on-one opportunity. Lena Selnes, Sorloth's girlfriend, posted screenshots of the threats and abusive remarks online, calling on fans to consider the impact of their words before sending such messages.
