5-0. Goretzka. This is pure class. Hopefully Norway can get a chance or two...
Easy son. Still time for Joe to throw one in yet.
Actually, beat Germany and go top. Why not?
You sound like you're having a whale of a time. Who knew watching your team getting raped by the Germans was so enjoyable.
You have to enjoy the quality of the way Germany play tonight, even if you're Norwegian. If Norway could manage a solid performance, I'd be happy with that, but it was obvious early on that this was not going to be that kind of match.
No, no. Football is only about appreciating or mourning the score sheet of your favorite team. If not you are a laughable glory hunter or a delusional Pep disciple. Appreciating quality football is not what we do in England...
Watching an England game always seems to very familiar, never any excitement, always pedestrian and boring to watch. Even the atmosphere was dull. Now, compare that to the game at Windsor Park and see the difference. A great game of football, hard work, dedication from the Northern Irish team and a wonderful atmosphere.
I know which game I'd rather watch.
Then the white shirts are pulled on it becomes about misplaced passes, sideways and backwards passing, centre halves who look scared to have the ball at their feet, centre forwards who see which of them can kick the ball furthest into the stands.
Hoping that in Deli Alli we may have someone who can inspire some free flowing, attacking football.
You're joking, right?
Duh...
But applauding the Germans as they dismantle your team is particularly masochistic for anyone who has any aspiration to be better than the likes of San Marino.
That day I was happy to admit the Germans had found a way forward after a dodgy period, and today we are still floundering around on the outskirts talking about 1966 as if any of us actually remember it.
The amount of depth into the goal was immense,and ALL the officials missed it ?!
Even the ref at half time apparently watched it back and said 'Oh.My. God' . I'm sure he saw a disciplinary panel looming
Nah he would have been fine as it was against England. Had France been on the receiving end he might have faced FIFA's wrath though.
I think the highlight of Norwegian World Cup history must be defeating holders Brazil at the Coupe du Monde in 1998 with a last minute penalty by Kjetil Rekdal seeing them reach the knockout phase.
Nevertheless, you do make a reasonable point but if you happen to like the sport in its most beautiful form you can always appreciate good football, even if it's not from your favourite team.
I did kind of cover myself there with the '90s' comment - they qualified for two World Cups in a row (one at our expense to give them extra joy even if they were up against the 2nd worst England team of all time in 94 qualifying) and after stinking USA 94 out with England-under-Hodgson levels of turgidness they did indeed sneak a win off Brazil to get out of their group.
But the bottom line for scholars of the game (and indeed for people who prefer entertainment over their team winning) is that Norway's most memorable contribution to World Cup history is Bjørge Lillelien's epic commentary.
Was that the one with the summing-up of all kinds of English celebraties ending with Maggie?
I do hope they can some day find their way back to a WC or EC.
Should be possible, Belgium was absent for every tournament for 12 years and we came back too.
That is indeed true.
We beat England ones? I didn't know. Nobody remembers that...
We murdered all who mentioned it...managed to silence most of them he he .
Genius.
