So sad we've almost made it (Erling Haaland Football Meme)

This is a 4-panel comic meme using the classic Grim Reaper welcoming souls to the afterlife template, featuring photos of professional footballer Erling Haaland. Panel 1: The Grim Reaper tells a young photo of Haaland with a floating halo 'IT IS TIME TO GO.' Panel 2: Haaland, wearing a Norway national team jersey, ascends and asks 'Was I a good match?' Panel 3: A photo of a dejected Haaland kneeling on the pitch is shown as the Grim Reaper answers 'You were not enough'. Panel 4: Haaland appears in a lighthearted photo wearing viking horns, as the Reaper finishes 'yet you've died a hero'. The joke references the Norway men's national football team repeatedly narrowly missing out on qualifying for major international tournaments, despite Haaland's exceptional individual performances, leading fans to feel the team came very close to qualifying, did not quite make it, but Haaland is still considered a hero for his efforts.
