So who are your biggest rivals? Sweden, Finland or Denmark? Who do Norwegians love to hate? I assume its Sweden?

Yup, Sweden is the biggest rival. Denmark is more of a friendly competition, but one where we usually are happy for the other if they do well. Finland is just friendly. They are good sports and fun to drink with.

I so long for visiting Norway. Preferably a long vacation and going from the South to the far North.

Think you would be most amazed by the west coast from Bergen and northwards, as the rest is not that different from Sweden (unless you are employed by the Government as a road builder, then it is HUGELY different appearantly...).
Why people love Oslo, I will never understand tbh. I had a flat there when I was a student, and I go there every night for work. I hate that city. It is dirty, there are nigerian prostitutes and begggars everywhere, drugs are being traded openly on the main street, and if you arrive from the north on a winter day, you can see the lid of exhaust and smoke that lies over the city.

How is the coast route from Kristiansand to Bergen?

I am in love of the West Coast. Last year I had planned to visit Trondheim again (just for a day). But we were delayed so we had to turn around just shy of the coast.

Hmm, lots of tunnels, and imo not that spectacular. The nature there is not that wild. The charming part of it is all the smaller towns you drive through, but there is a reason for why the tourist buses go Oslo - Bergen - northwards.
Kristiansand itself is a nice summer city, although it has changed since I lived there as a kid (only two buildings left where I remembered them were McDonalds and the Church).

Hey. Maybe I should do some consulting for you. During several years. Nothing to taxing because I charge nothing now. But in ten years or so, you pay me three million dollars.

So what do you say? Do we have a deal?

Not looking forward to Saturday. The way Liverpool were playing recently, I would have liked to play them. Now, with Klopp in charge I suspect we will be on the receiving end of new manager syndrome [:(]

As they say, timing is everything [&:]

Still cannot get myself to hate BM, still feel sorry for them for their loss against ManU in the CL-final in 99(?). Most undeserved win ever...

OK, here is a weird football game.
A few facts first;

1. This is from the Caribbean Championship.
2. Both Grenada and Barbados are tied on points before the last match.
3. Barbados needs a two goal win to advance
4. In this competition there can be no draws, if equal after 90 mins, there is a golden goal extra time played.
5. Golden goals counts as TWO goals (so winning after extra time means you win by two).

The match starts with;
Barbados goes to 2-0, in the 83rd minute, Grenada scores 2-1. The rest...Well click and see [X(]

Thank you for sharing Terje. [:D]

However, it makes me wonder if Grenada attempted to score their own goal in order to end the match with just one goals difference?

I also wonder what genius thought up those rules. And if that isn't against the rules.
