This summer there is only one nation – the football nation, and it is pulling in the same direction.

Norway's iconic Viking Row at the World Cup is filling Norwegians back home with pride. A Skjong kindergartener's version has gone viral, while the country's armed forces have joined in on the rowing action across land, sea and air.
