If you try googling the beautiful Swedish region of Halland, known for its charming beaches, good old Google would probably ask you a simple question – did you mean Haaland?Because in 2022, Manchester City’s mesmerizing forward Erling Braut Haaland (born and raised in the Swedish neighbourhood of Norway) is one the most searched terms in the whole wide world. So instead of finding some colourful images of the Swedish coast, you’ll end up with countless photos of the footballer. When @ErlingHaaland finally takes his mask off! I knew something wasn’t right ! pic.twitter.com/4jsz0KQL04— Kevin De Bruyne (@KevinDeBruyne) November 1, 2022 And, according to BBC, the head of the Swedish tourist board for the region has had enough. ‘Visit Halland’ director Jimmy Sandberg has written an open letter asking English people, journalists and football fans worldwide to hit the spellcheck before hitting send.”We are Halland. He is Haaland. The popularity of the football phenomenon is completely suffocating our online presence,” he wrote.”To our despair, we now see that all of our efforts promoting Halland are rapidly being wiped away.”If nothing is done, we fear our dear region is at risk of becoming a forgotten Atlantis, a place only known in stories and ancient scriptures.”##EDITORS_CHOICE##Sandberg told BBC News: “When you write in Halland, looking for the beautiful region where we live in Sweden, you get Haaland all over the place.”Since Haaland arrived at Manchester City and scored all those goals, we have been overwhelmed by his presence in our hashtags and in search engines.”##NAJAVA_MECA_6778858##Sandberg has offered its hospitality to Haaland to settle the issue once and for all.”We’d love him to come here,” he said. “A lot of Norwegians do come here every year, so he would feel right at home.”CHAMPIONS LEAGUEGroup stage – Round 6TuesdayLeverkusen – Club Brugge 0-0Porto – Atletico 2-1 (2-0)/Taremi 5, Eustaqio 24 – Marcano 90+5/Bayern – Inter 2-0 (1-0)/Pavard 32, Choupo-Moting 72//Liverpool – Napoli 2-0 (0-0)/Salah 85, Nunez 90+8/Olympique de Marseille – Tottenham 1-2 (1-0)/Mbemba 45+2 – Lenglet 54, Hojbjerg 90+5/Plzen – Barcelona 2-4 (0-2)/Chory 50 pen, 63 – Alonso 6, Torres 45, 54, Torre 75/Rangers – Ajax 1-3 (0-2)/Tavernier 86 pen – Berghuis 4, Kudus 29, 56, Conceicao 89/Sporting CP – Eintracht Frankfurt 1-2 (1-0)/Gomes 39 – Kamada 62 pen, Kolo Muani 72/Wednesday20:45: (1.27) Real Madrid (7.00) Celtic (10.5)20:45: (5.50) Shakhtar (3.90) RB Leipzig (1.73)23:00: (1.58) Milan (4.30) Salzburg (6.75)23:00: (1.38) Chelsea (5.50) Dinamo Zagreb (9.50)23:00: (4.90) Copenhagen (3.60) Dortmund (1.79)23:00: (1.28) Man.City (7.00) Sevilla (12.0)23:00: (5.10) Juventus (3.70) PSG (1.73)23:00: (5.20) Maccabi Haifa (3.80) Benfica (1.79)***odds are subject to change**
