Haaland gets \u2018goosebumps\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Norway striker Erling Haaland is an early contender for the World Cup\u2019s Golden Boot with four goals through his first three matches. But the Manchester City star has still found time to share his own experiences with American culture.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old attended Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals earlier this month and was wowed by the rendition of \u201cThe Star-Spangled Banner\u201d before the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have so much, like, pride for the country. They love the country so much. It\u2019s everything about it,\u201d Haaland said of U.S. fans on his YouTube channel. \u201cThe national anthem was incredible. Amazing. I had goosebumps all over.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haaland\u2019s World Cup journey takes him to Texas for a matchup with the Ivory Coast on Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Sweden vs. mechanical bull<\/strong><\/p>\n

Visitors from Sweden have already learned about the unique experiences offered in Texas. Maja Lindelof, the wife of Swedish defender Victor Lindelof, found her first mechanical bull while in the Lone Star State for a group stage match against Japan.<\/p>\n

She posted the experience on Instagram from initial confusion \u2014 Mrs. Lindelof is seen asking someone off camera, \u201cWhere do I hold on?\u201d \u2014 to a momentary triumph.<\/p>\n

The Texas hospitality seemed appreciated, as she posted the smiley video the next morning.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Lindelof, like many international tourists in Texas, has posted an array of photos in cowboy boots and wide-brimmed hats during recent excursions.<\/p>\n

Norwegians at the range<\/strong><\/p>\n

One group of Norwegian fans shared their slack-jawed response to an American shooting range on Instagram. After earlier videos reacting to dollar stores, Taco Bell and Bass Pro Shops, the group felt like red-blooded patriots at the indoor range.<\/p>\n

The viral video showed them eagerly picking out their rented firearms \u2014 a Desert Eagle handgun was particularly requested \u2014 and buzzing with excitement. They flashed constant smiles between shots, despite a lack of shooting experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey all had so much fun,\u201d the Norwegian group\u2019s American host wrote on Instagram. \u201cShooting range=Norwegian approved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ranch life suits Polish, French visitors<\/strong><\/p>\n

One Texas man made headlines after hosting two couples from France and Poland at his 30-acre ranch for what he described as a \u201credneck crash course.\u201d<\/p>\n

The excited tourists received American hospitality, along with a curated list of activities that included line-dancing, off-roading and horseback riding.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was a bit skeptical at first, but then I just feel like, yes, I can do this all day,\u201d Martina Bijinska, one of the visitors, told CBS.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love this lifestyle, we enjoy every second of it, we just want to soak it in,\u201d David Mazur, Bijinska\u2019s husband, noted.<\/p>\n
