[canuckup]

I personally don't think it's that bad??

Obviously nothing excuses the pillaging all those years ago, etc etc

Jesus have people really got nothing better to do than complain about stuff like this.

Love it! Maybe all the teams should do a Historical period photoshoot? It would be epic! I live in what used to be Danelaw. We love a Viking link round here.

The photographer did a shoot about the shoot to debunk claims it was faked

It's the fucking daily mail trying to stir outrage and your falling for it. Don't be so high and mighty. It isn't the "woke" people who are reactionary idiots here...

Fun isnt allowed any more. Did nobody tell you?

Face? Bovvered?

Yes, the same ones. I think they must have got very, very hot with all that running around in the sun.

As an Arsenal fan, I’m going to definitely watch the Norway games. One must support one’s club captain and all that.

Problematic is such an annoying word.

Not reading the article.

Vikings are 🔥🔥🔥

Sweet dreams 😍

So why do you think it's "problematic "?

Please can the fit men in Londinium dress as Romans this summer 😋

On the grounds of where ones club players play for, I'm supporting, post England, in number of players order, Belgium, Scotland, Sweden, Argentina, France. But we do have an ex player for Curacao, which is amazing, go Leandro Bacuna.

Technically cote d'ivoire too, and we want to off him, so I hope he looks good, open that chequebook, Palace!

What has this go to do with the USA - "
But the response to their creative send-off has split opinion in Norway", the critics are Norwegian?

Thank you for this thread. It has reminded me that I need to check the homepage for The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde. It is going to be completely reconstructed and I am curious to see the new plans.

Last time they expanded the building into the fiord and discovered five more ship wrecks. So they had to expand it a bit more than originally planned.

In general building in Roskilde takes a while because they always find something new in the ground. I am looking forward to seeing what they find.

Men, why don't you dress more like this?

Liberate men from the Victorian oppression of trousers

Imagine trying to explain this fuss to Erling Haaland when he’s in rampage mode.

I’m a Swede and even I am proud of them! Nothing problematic about it, they look great!

@murasaki ?

😍 I think they look great.

There was a lot more to Viking culture than pillaging. This is such a crock of shit.

Well, you have the glorious Viktor Gyokeres to support. I will have to watch his matches in the spirit of Scandinavian fairness!

They look fabulous.

I think Norwegian men should be forced to wear this sort of clothing all the time really.

And I agree, I very much doubt there is much outrage about this and if so the outrage should be ignored. I really don't know why the media feels that the professionally outraged should be given so much attention. So what if people are outraged. Why is their outrage anyone else's problem? It's just clickbait.

Knights of the realm.
