I know I said something else. But I just had to comment on this bit... Yes, you had some progress from 94' to 98'... you got further the second time. But then you got knocked out of the first round in Euro 2000... that's downhill... not much but it's not progress. Then you didn't qualify for WC 2002, which we all agree is another step down the ladder... right? Which leeds us back to my point. Not much progress!

I don't agree, and it's not important IMO. Don't know how to say it in English, and I don't know if you know the economic expression, men vi er inne i en lavkonjunktur, det kommer til å gå opp igjen.
We didn't qualify for the WC, but probably will for the EC. Our form is a bit unstabile, it doesn't matter, as the point is we're at a point were can qualify for big things, something that's never been the case before.

Let's get back to the point. I said that Denmark and Sweden are better teams. Then you replied (a bit harshly!) and brought the style of play and the progress bit into the discussion. Cool, but I don't see how your arguments proves that Norway are a better team than the neighbours.

The results, the progress... Both teams have done better than Norway in that department... and also in "the style of play" department.

Here you go where I didn't want to go earlier, but fair enough. You say they have done better in the "style of play" department like it is a fact. OK. I didn't know Carling Opta or someone else had tables for that. Could you provide a link?

And I don't see your argumentation for Denmark or Sweden being better. You say you're the better team, when we're currently tied in our group if I'm not mistaking.

I thought Kluivert's goal was better actually :strong:

I think #9 for RO is Mutu...

 

[Dj Juve]

i thought that was Ganea :undecide:

Slovenia won? Noooo ... I so much wanted Israel to win :down:

no they come out with a draw

 

[Slagathor]

O phew - there's still a good chance of qualification then!

 

[JuveCampione]

only if we'll win in Ljubliana, and I doubt it

 

[Slagathor]

Not with that attitude, no

Yes, it was Ganea who scored the lob, Mutu scored the first goal.

Oh right! Of course!

Romania seemed very strong yesterday, I hope Norway shape up before we meet them on wednesday.

 

[Slagathor]

Good luck - they have some A-class players. Chivu, LoBont, Mutu..!

Yes you're at that point, but that's not something new... you've done it before. If you (or when you) qualify for the Euro 2004, will that be bigger than your qualification for WC 98 or Euro 2000???

Here you go where I didn't want to go earlier, but fair enough. You say they have done better in the "style of play" department like it is a fact. OK. I didn't know Carling Opta or someone else had tables for that. Could you provide a link?

It is a fact! No, I can't provide that link, cuz fortunately the game isn't played on paper. You said it yourself, the way Norway plays is boring. It's a one track way, where as Sweden and Denmark are on another level. If something goes wrong, they can transform their game, when Norway just keeps pounding thoose long balls up in the air.

I think many would agree with me. Don't you think it's funny, that only Norweigans like this style of play.

Why don't you complain. I would! When Denmark only used the flanks I was pissed. The only weapon we had was our fast wingers and we even kept using them when it was clearly not working. We were still winning like Norway are now... but it's ugly and we wanted a change. The nation protested, Olsen finally got it through his thick skull and changed the tactics. Now we, like Sweden, play the game on various levels, whilst Norway are still using the same old air-rade.

And I don't see your argumentation for Denmark or Sweden being better. You say you're the better team, when we're currently tied in our group if I'm not mistaking.

Yeah... we're tied up, but we wouldn't be if Denmarks wasn't robbed of the victory in Oslo. Carews goal should never have been allowed. John himself even admitted it on danish television...

But hey... I hope Norway wins their remaining matches, after all... you're Scandinavians
All the best of luck to ya.

The next match is against Romania right? They've got a very shaky defence... I'm almost 100% sure that you'll win that one. Who is your last two opponents and where? Can't remember, and to lazy to check it out myself.

Just wanna say: FORZA SCOTLAND! You guys made my day yesterday rock on!
