Ahead of the match, the two carriers made a light-hearted bet: The one representing the losing country would swap its Instagram profile picture to that of the winner for 24 hours.
“While the tournament is over for us, this friendly bet will forever live in all our hearts,” Norwegian wrote under the unfamiliar logo, adding a congratulatory message. “We wish England and British Airways all the best in the semifinal, and we sincerely hope you’ll get to bring football home!“
England will face Argentina in the semifinal in Atlanta on Wednesday.
