Haaland offered fans the names Cowboy, Ranger, TEX, and R.O.W. — an acronym for Racoon On Wheels — as options. He bought the raccoon at Wild Bill’s Western Shore in Dallas, Texas, where it typically retails for $750, according to Fox 4. Shortly after the post, Wild Bill’s sold out of the now-famous decoration. The shop now uses the photo of Haaland carrying the raccoon as the reference image in its online store.
Throughout Norway’s historic World Cup run, Haaland went viral for seemingly falling in love with America. It was After Norway defeated Ivory Coast that he visited Wild Bill’s, Fox 4 reported. He loved the cowboy gear and went viral for wearing a shirt that said, “You can kiss my Dallas.” It wasn’t only the culture Haaland appreciated, but also the people.
“I think it’s a good thing because I like the Americans. I think they are kind of hilarious as well. They are funny. So I like the way they are,” Haaland said, according to Yahoo Sports’ Instagram.
