With what I know about Norway....
I am guessing by this picture that Norway is like France and you can't have alcoholic beverages on your kit. I'm just laughing because Norwegians love their alcoholic beverages if the guys down the pub are any indication. Also, I am not paying attention to the Tippeligaen since IK Start was relegated.
ps I swore i was making posts but they're not here nor in my drafts :( must look in another blog

a couple lulz from yesterday
Second half, Emile Heskey is in the box by himself with a great chance to set up something fantastic. Sends the ball via a cheeky back heal to--a russian defender. English kid two stools down from me "Aww bless. He does try though"
Second half again, some mystery black guy scores for England making it three - nil. Everyone including myself and the aforementioned English kid get up and cheer. Camera zooms in on mystery black guy's face.
English kid and me: "OH FUCK". Then we look at each other and give high fives.
The goal scorer? Rio fucking Ferdinand.
English kid: "Well at least we'll get another series of Rio's world cup wind ups"
Ireland lost and there was some WELL DODGY sending off. Noirn lost on an own goal. SCOTLAND BEAT THE CHEESE EATING SURRENDER MONKEYS Norway drew. My 2nd favorite Norwegian scored the equalising goal (well early in the 1st half mind) of his rocket of a left foot.

ugh
Your hostess is as sick as a dog. I'm turning over to FootieGeeza for a couple of days as I'm sure he has loads to say about Norway and Liverpool playing in some minority interest cup match on Wednesday.
Seriously, R.I.P. me, plz send mint aero bars from Engerland ASAP.
Oh he (FootieGeeza) just told me that I should write about how I met a IK Start supporter while paying wayyy too much money to go out (25 bucks, but at least I got a full brekkie out of it at no extra charge) and watch the most boring FA CUP final in history. The Start supporter was funny--he was amazed that someone here knew his team let alone followed it. That's about it not much to tell. Except that I should supposedly go to Oslo in October for the Norveeegian Cup final.

Norway represented on ESPN
John Arne Riise's goal against PSV was shown as the 9th best highlight of the week on ESPN's SportsCenter. Of course the announcers badly butchered the pronunciation of his name, calling him both "John Arn-ee Reese" and "John Arn Reese."

Norway football predictions
One fateful weekend last year the Footie Geeza and I went to the pub to watch City play Sunderland. That day we met three crazy Norwegians. Norwegians are as insane irl as they are online. It's great fun. Anyway, since that day, we've both been following IK Start from Kristanstaad, who we were assured by our new Norveeegian friends are the best team in all of Europe.
The upcoming Norwegian league starts this Monday and they play a 26 game season. All of Scandinavia has a fucked up schedule because of all the fucking ice and blonde ladies. That's why the Patron Saint of Glasgow was able to play for Manchester United before returning to Sweden (will have to post funny Favorite Swede story later today).
Anyway, the Geeza wanted me to make some predictions on the norveeegian league. Last year, Hamar Kam and Molde FK were relegated to the second division, and Stromsgodset and Aalesund were promoted to the top flight. Onto the predictions...
1) Rosenborg
2) Lillestrom
3) Brann Bergen
4) Valerengen
5) Viking Stavanger
6) IK Start
7) Stabaek
8) Lyn SFK
9) Stromsgodset
10) Tromso
11) Fredrikstad
12) Odd Grenland
13) Sandefjord
14) Aalesund

Oh Noes Norway!!!!
Gamst is out!
Another case of "when the hell are the FAs of different countries going to start compensating clubs for their loses". I love my beloved England national team and I do not want to see things discourage the best national players getting call ups. BUT! I would be pissed if my club's star player was hurt for two important prem matches and an all important UEFA cup knockout, for an international friendly. It's probably why Fat Frank was the only Chelsea player "healthy" enough to play (;)).
This is particularly disappointing though, because as That's on Point said the other day, It's Morten Gamst Pederson's world, we are all just living in it. I really enjoy watching him play (and yes even against City this season).
