What would a touching moment in the stands between a coach and his wife be without fans doing some digging and making a discovery that he has daughter? I wouldnt go as far as saying that it would be a complete waste.
I wouldnt even call it a partial waste, but the reality is that it wouldnt be nearly as much internet fun as what has ended up playing out. Norways head coach Ståle Solbakken was overcome with joy following a 3-2 win over Senegal on Monday.
The win punched Norways ticket to s Knockout Stage. Solbakken turned his celebration into a wholesome viral moment by jumping into the stands, heading straight for his wife Anniken and sharing a hug and kiss with her.

Naturally, that turned into fans discovering the real star of the family, his 22-year-old daughter Ida Solbakken. She summed up the familys big opening round perfectly when she reposted a video of her mom and dad celebrating her country’s win in the .
Ida wrote, according to the NY Post, “It doesnt get bigger than this.”
No, it doesnt. From the pure romance of the internet coming together and finding out that Norways biggest star isnt on the field to the viral moment between the coach and his wife. Indeed, it doesn’t get bigger than this.
This is why we ignore the many, many negative aspects of social media. Hook this kind of entertainment directly to my veins. I dont need any of the at all, but Ill take all the off the field fun.
Congratulations to and congratulations to the Solbakkens for making the most out of the World Cup spotlight. This is the magic of such an event.
