Slovakia friendly, preview

March 3rd, 2010 | By: HJ | Comments Comments(0)

Right now we are playing against high-flying Slovakia in a friendly away from home. They qualified for this year’s World Cup and are seemingly a better team than us at the moment. We are without our main striker John Carew, which means that Daniel Braaten (Toulouse) starts as a lone striker. They like to pass the ball around a lot, ... [read more]

EURO 2012 – Qualifying draw

February 7th, 2010 | By: HJ | Comments Comments(1)

Norway was today grouped with Portugal, Denmark, Iceland and Cyprus. A tough group, but also one we have every chance to qualify from. Portugal are favourites to win this group, but struggled remarkably in their last qualifier. In the same group then were Denmark, who beat the Iberians for the top spot and automatic qualification for South Africa 2010. The ... [read more]

What now, Egil?

January 7th, 2010 | By: HJ | Comments Comments(7)

Finally given the job on a permanent basis, Egil Olsen will be in charge of the Norwegian National Football Team for the next three years. Olsen has always been a controversial figure in the football world, with his left-wing political opinions and his often criticised style of football. He’s also known for his extreme knowledge about world geography. Ask Egil ... [read more]

Norwegian football in 2009

January 4th, 2010 | By: HJ | Comments Comments(1)

This year has been a good one for Norwegian football, especially compared to the disastrous 2008 season. Here are some of the things we’ll remember from 2009:
JAN 11: Egil Olsen is installed as interim manager for the national team. He replaces Åge Hareide, who resigned one month earlier after leading the side for five years. The appointment of Olsen is ... [read more]

Friendly against Switzerland confirmed

October 19th, 2009 | By: HJ | Comments Comments(0)

The friendly against South Africa was our last home fixture of this season, but there is still one away game left to play in 2009. This match will be played against Switzerland, who unlike us, managed to qualify for the WC in South Africa. Norway finished second in their group, behind Holland, but unluckily we were the ‘worst’ of those ... [read more]

Louis Saha Uses Leeches to Heal His Knees

Everton striker Louis Saha is not a man blessed with good knees. In fact I'd go as far as saying he's a top class striker cursed with horrible knees, and as a result has never been able to hit the heights his talents deserve. He's the French Ledley King. After years ...

Is a Throw-In to The Face Worth a Red Card?

Be prepared to flinch when you watch the above video from the Women's Bundesliga in Germany. The thrower is Taoba Kemmy of FFC Turbine Potsdam, the woman in the way is Kerstin Garefreke of FFC Frankfurt. Kemmy felt Garefreke was getting in her face while trying to a throw, so ...

The Physics Of Roberto Carlos

As evidenced by the aerodynamic qualities of his glistening dome and breaking land-speed records with every third free kick, Roberto Carlos is a very, very scientific man. He's also inspired scientists, particularly that free kick back in 97 - you don't need to hit play to know the one I'm ...
