Rest assured terje that its no reflection on our Norwegian neighbours, but everything to do with the fact that we had a rubbish World Cup, and supporters voting with their feet....[:(]

I rather think that the tickets are overpriced.

Ticket prices do not help of course, but the bigger issue is the dismal World Cup hangover.

Yeah I know, but tbh it is very fitting for the Norwegian national team as well. They are rubbish, and have been the last decade...

What amazes me about England is that Rooney is elected captain. People may say what they want, but he just is not that good anymore, nor is he imo captain material. I think that was aporr choice, both including him in the team, and to chose him as a captain.

I think ENgland should have focused more on finding a new striker, preferably someone like Shearer, or if such a player cannot be found, a new Owen or Fowler.

After the ticket prices I suspect that the prominent Premier League teams has so many international stars that do not play in the English national team has more effect than the World Cup result.

I am pretty sure that the Norwegians, as the Swedes, want to see their favourite players from their favourite Premier League team. And most of them are not in the English national team any longer. Gone are the day where all the Premier League stars played in the English National team. Well, except one, who played for Wales. [:)]

Zlatan just made his 50th goal for the Swedish national team and it was just the kind of goal that make me smile for minutes. Sheer poetry. [:)]

Glad to see someone has something to smile about with their national team [:)]

That's not too bad a qualifying group Sweden have there Orm. Should be no problem finishing in the top two?

It should be no problem but I am sure that it will be difficult. We have a team that give away goals way to easy. [:(]

Zlatan is fantastic.
PSG without Zlatan is a boring team, with him PSG wins with a rate of +80% and there is spectacular action.
Bingo for him, with his goal in the 24th minute for Sweden, he has scored at every minute of a match.

Mwahahahahahahaha

"Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini lays into Chelsea [aka Mourinho] parking the bus again claiming it was like playing 'a [Mourinho's] small team'"

Didn't I say something similar (in fact I used exactly these same words) months ago?

Great minds think alike eh? [:D]

If you're a Chelsea fan what's the problem? City were at home, it was their job to stop Chelsea scoring and to break down the Chelsea defence. They failed in the former and just managed the latter towards the end to avoid defeat.

So Chelsea come away from the Etihad - almost certainly their toughest fixture of the season with a point. Advantage Mourinho.

Pellegrini is a sore loser, indeed [:D] You should never bash your colleagues... oh well, this, Mourinho did hundreds of times so serves him right [:'(]


And yes, that 1 - 1 is a Chelsea victory. Top of the league, they survived a big squad. Period.

The Spurs team is full of the same player.

There is no tempo, no slick passing, no taking players on, the defence is guaranteed to make numerous mistakes every game - its just dull

I am sure that they have a better attitude than AIK. I can't imagine worse. I just can't.
