Norway are fuckin shite, but the players play the games, all of Haaland, Ødegaard and Sørloth played both games this week. 
 

Norway used to have good defenders, now they are all shite.

 

We also have a manager stuck in a style that was washed up 15 years ago. 

 

There's no excuse for Norway not to be better. Hire a better coach, I guess. Though (as I can testify to as an Irishman) no serious coach really wants to work in international football anymore.

 

Edit: Just checking Haaland's international goalscoring record. Which is ridiculous. Christ, your defenders must be atrocious...

Yes they are, the organisation of the defence is shite as well.

 

I had some hope for Leo Østigård (Napoli) but he always seem to have a major mistake in him.

Have Nottingham Forest blamed their points deduction on that cruelly unfair possession the referee gave us two minutes before we scored against them yet?

How they have the nerve to appeal is beyond me.

They're still right up there, and have a game in hand, but they were 10 points clear not long ago.

 

Be mad if Ipswich came straight up first year back in the Championship.

They had an automatic place sewn up a few months ago and now it’s the play offs but they have a history of champions league placing choking under wee Bren

There’s also the small problem of basing your entire goal scoring output on a striker that doesn’t contribute anything apart from his goals (which we all know is the most important thing in football blah blah blah). When he’s not scoring the team becomes incredibly vulnerable. Our national team is actually playing some decent stuff these days, but as Code has mentioned the dearth of decent central defenders is glaring. I’m not really ready to trust our goalie either….

 

I don’t think Solbakken is the biggest problem if I’m honest. Problem with our NT is that Egil Olsen had us overperforming so much results-wise through the 90’s that our media (and many supporters) are expecting us to compete with the heavyweights. Our footballing culture the last 30 years is based on the football that gave results back then. Thankfully that is changing, with Kjetil Knutsen (and Solbakken) proponents for a more positive outlook on football. We have been so result-oriented and shortsighted with both our NT and club football in the 00s and 10s that it’s only now that we seem to have something of a footballing evolution where we’re taking step by step.

 

Anyway, I don’t really care for our national team if I’m honest, and having that big grock up top will take any shine off any potential success we might have in the coming years.

It's just struck me that I've hardly really missed football at all during the international break.

 

I've not watched any international games and I'm actually looking forward to watching football now but I've not missed the shithouse cheating players, the inept officiating or the stress of our injury list and trying to keep up with the gooners and Abu Dhabi fc.

 

If we can just win everything now please, it'll be a thoroughly enjoyable summer without footy especially as it's an Olympic year.

Arsed.

 

That said, I know I'll end up watching the majority of it. 

[Leyton388]

Haha

 

Fuck off Newcastle. 

[Scott_M]

Doesn’t know what Newcastle are complaining about. 
 

Schar wasn’t injured, big quim, fuck all wrong with him. The rest of the side was sleeping.
