Oslo: Roy Keane has started a new feud, taunting Haaland's father, suggesting he was probably drunk and making erratic analysis of Norway's World Cup exit. Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane reignited his feud with Erling Haaland's father, Alf-Inge Haaland, after Norway's quarter-final exit from the 2026 World Cup, implying that Haaland's father was likely intoxicated and that his analysis of the game was affected. According to Thai News Agency, Keane, who famously kicked Haaland in 2001, causing a serious injury, commented on his past opponent, suggesting that alcohol might affect his judgment because he seemed to be drinking constantly. The former footballer's remarks have added fuel to the long-standing tension between the two, stemming from their on-field encounter decades ago.
