Landlord Whose Goat Is an England Fan Buys 'Viking' Boat Ahead of Norway Game
- On Saturday, Norway faces England at the Miami Stadium in the biggest match in the nation's history, with supporters performing the 'Viking Row' to inspire their team toward victory.
- Enthusiasts say the 'Viking Row' celebration aims to fire up the team in old Norse style, gaining popularity through the Oseberg Viking Heritage Foundation in Tonsberg, south of Oslo.
- Operating the Saga Oseberg, a 21.5-metre replica built to mimic burial vessels from around 820, the Foundation gives Project Leader Knut Roger Brekke chances to practice his rowing skills.
- Richard Mawson, owner of the Lion and the Lamb pub in Gosforth, purchased a Viking-style longboat earlier this week and plans to feature Tongo, his England-supporting goat, at a 'big party for the football' tomorrow.
- Norway has never progressed beyond the last 16 teams in the World Cup; a victory on Saturday would set up a semi-final clash against Argentina or Switzerland in uncharted waters.
