A surprising surge in water consumption occurred in Oslo during Norway’s quarterfinal match against England. Oslo’s water and sewage department analyzed water usage data and found significant spikes coinciding with halftime and the game’s end. They estimate approximately 60,000 people flushed their toilets within a five-minute period after the final whistle. This indicates a large number of viewers took a bathroom break during pauses in the game. The data provides an amusing insight into the collective behavior of football fans during a major sporting event. The incident highlights the unexpected impacts even a sporting event can have on city infrastructure.
