Norway - England 2-0 (1993)

[cacbdb]

England were an awful team at the time slow clumsy central defenders almost no central midfield (Ince was ok, Palmer not), and little choice up front (nothing to show accept Shearer), adding to this fact\ the coach Taylor chose not to call skilful player like Le Tissier and many times didn't let play with Gascoigne

the only world class player in the team, maybe except Shearer.

[stefanotenore1]

Questa partita la ricordo come se fosse ancora ieri...GRANDE NORVEGIA!!! sicuramente era la nazionale piu forte d europa in quel periodo...

[Cashback13]

"LES! They CAN'T SEE YA!"

[bretteville]

De draktene vi spiller med der er muligens de styggeste i historien.

[andrezang]

Soon as anyone mentions Chris Woods, I always think of this match and the bollocks he made of the second goal. That's the thing with keepers, particularly for England, people only remember the mistakes.

[Kalinho83]

Ahhh det var dager når man ikke var avhengig av at Kypros skulle hjelpe oss til sluttspill...

[r4h4al]

Why the feck is Carlton palmer playing

[weatherallc05]

get the fuck out england, and take chris woods with ya! norway made you look shit

[maestro0171]

Norway always beat us and they're the only team that's never lost to brazil

[leshkaka]

Fuck, Norway were fantastic here!

[CunningStunt777777]

@leshkaka Or England were epically shit.

[CarlingBlade]

Chris Woods was fucking useless!!

Flo and Fjortoft played for the Blades, Flo wasn't the greatest, Fjortoft was a brilliant player.

[Adam29101981]

@CarlingBlade. That`s right, but he wasn`t useless only during that game. Try to remind of his previous match against Poland (1:1) and his two terrifying mistakes, first - Dariusz Adamczuk`s goal at 36 min, and second - lucky save after repaired mistake at 52 min when Marek Lesniak has tried to score ;-). I`m Polish and I couldn`t understand how he could miss ;-).

[weatherallc05]

@CarlingBlade he was indeed, couldnt save for toffee

[harald2011]

En ung semb!

[Adam29101981]

I`ll always remember this counterattack (3:37). First time I`ve seen it on Eurosport in "Eurogoals" like a 12 years old boy :). Greetings from Poland.

[lostinbass4]

Norway played great football, and its still taking our national side decades how to play

[RGERiyup]

07:09 :D

[colazero38]

FOR et spill vi hadde på den tiden :O

[Jayfive276]

Des Walker turning his back on the ball for the first goal. He was never the same player after scoring that own goal in the fa cup final....

Im with the Highest Rated comment - no controversy here like in the dutch game, we got well and truly tonked.

[TheLooef]

huh ? Norway ? soccer ? this must be a joke right ?

[Rednasyl28]

2:12 he was allowed to do that?

[Andre2010]

What a massacre

[glenclosed]

A Hrll of a Beating!

[Perbjarne]

At this time, Norway was one of the top 5 best teams in the world. Not at all a surprise that they won.

[NiggvaR]

@Perbjarne We're getting there again.

[Perbjarne]

@NiggvaR hopefully!

[bellad76]

Semb hadde nok ikke lært seg ordet "klasse" i 1993, men Scheie dro til med en "ypperste klasse" etter 7:58.

[lulzimi]

Dont worry England, you lost to a team that got ranked 2nd on the fifa world ranking during the later WC

[Adam29101981]

Who`s tried to score at 7:07 ?

[pbrynild]

@Adam29101981 Gøran Sørloth. I believe he played in Turkey at the time, or at least he did in 1994.

[Adam29101981]

@pbrynild, thank you very much ;-)

[duttend]

@Adam29101981 It's Gøran Sørloth.

[habbonoob100123]

masse hjørnespark haha

[exentr]

Erik Mykland did slide tackle Gazza out of the match in the 16th minute. After that tackle Norway did own the match.

[LordGeorgeRodney]

Norway were crap in 94 world cup!

[englanderpriest]

The fine line between success and failure is very slight. A balanced side is always more effective than a side full of supposed stars out of position. Graham Taylor was at fault. Taylor left out some quality players due to his blinkered approach

[Cashback13]

@englanderpriest His ridiculous 3-5-2 formation! Plank!

[marcol68]

Scheie er egentlig helt ræva

[marcol68]

Semb? Allerede da var denne kødden med å kommenterte kamper?

[sh0werp0wer]

Norge var gode jo...... hva skjedde??

[WazzupImBack]

@sh0werp0wer drillo forsvant..

men han er tilbake!

[Sommervind]

Arne Scheie slik vi husker ham! Den bleke kopien på seg selv som har nå for tiden er ikke noe å samle på!

[thetommeliten]

fantastisk kamp dette her!!! skulle vi være like gode i 2010 og videre, da hadde vi slått Ukraina med værtfall 4-0!

[DannyBoy777777]

massive miss by platt at 6.13

[atilladrjb]

England squad: 1 Chris Woods, 2 Lee Dixon, 3 Gary Pallister, 4 Carlton Palmer, 5 Des Walker, 6 Tony Adams, 7 David Platt (c), 8 Paul Gascoigne, 9 Les Ferdinand, 10 Teddy Sheringham, 11 Lee Sharpe

[hatleman2]

we owned england that game world class

[gunninlinguist]

Rubbish England keeper should have saved both goals. Norway derserved to win though.

[zicothemagnificent]

They blamed Taylor but those English players were overrated and got shown up by a quality Norweigen side.

[97tostg]

we took a hell of a beating!

[pw3uk]

Was the #5 defender Des Walker? He was crap and #5 was to blame for both goals.

[barrybas]

I'm glad Norway enjoyed that, though that was probably the worst England side since 1966! Not to mention Chris Woods being about the poorest excuse for a goalkeeper to ever don an England shirt...

[petere32]

@barrybas Woods had ages to stop the second goal. Useless.

[Xylofonjon]

Erik Thorstvedt said that England hadn't lost an away game in 12 years before that game, so thay couldn't been that shit? Or was he wrong? :p Long time ago, probably hard to remember, I wouldn't know anyway :p

[Hesekiel2]

Norge ni äger fan med i fotbll :D

[31m0r0]

Så här bra har nog aldrig Norge spelat varken innan eller efter... Go kamp gutter :)

[kaukasus100]

Dette var storhetstiden til Norge -___- Måtte slik fotball og mål komme tilbake. Vi har tross alt vært nest best i verden

[Augvald]

Fantastisk god kamp av Norge.

Måtte slike tider komme tilbake.

[Docteur666]

det begynner å komme seg =)

[independent8787]

Haha, England...so big, and so small. Heia Norge!

[mortenhov]

Oi, rundspiller de jo! Supert at du har lagt ut disse høydepunktene!

[Jorsalfar]

Dette skjer nok ikke igjen på lenge...

[willythewanker]

er det nils johann semb som komenterer?

[steffengd]

Det er Arne Scheie.

[rottekjottkebab]

evt. begge to

[44443333]

Det stemmer.. Både Nils Johan Semb og Arne Scheie. Etter ca 4:00 sier jo også Schei: Nils Johan om noen skulle være i tvil!

[etfgawg11]

we tired a bit of Englishmen out for you four days earlier;)

[walleluja]

haha herlig Arne!

[BetaCam200]

Var på Ullevaal denne fantastiske sommerkvelden. Sammen med min nevø kjørte jeg fra Hammerfest til Oslo for å se denne kampen. Har aldri angret. Opptakene var derfor veldig morsomme å se igjen. Må innrømme jeg hadde glemt i hvilken grad Norge overspilte England. Fantastisk kamp. Takk for postingen Infogrames :-)

[driffter76]

could have been the worst england side of all time.

[AndyBRGN]

Skulle ønske jeg var gammel nok til å huske dette.. Uansett, jeg har sett dette nok av ganger til å få tårer i øynene :')

[elekid22]

norge på sitt beste :)
