Norway has won against Ivory Coast and continues to impress in the World Cup. This is after Sweden lost to France and is out of the tournament.

What happens now?

Sports journalist Johanna Frändén does not think the Swedes will cheer for Norway right away. – Right now, I think it's too deep, says Frändén.

The rivalry between Norway and Sweden

Former football player and expert Mimmi Löfwenius has both Norwegian and Swedish passports and thinks the rivalry is mostly one-way. – I think the rivalry goes one way, the little brother complex, says Löfwenius.
