Wasn't Norway once Sweden or in a union with it?
Bit like us and Scotland with England I suppose but Norway have managed to fuuck the Swedes off?

Thank you Google for the dates!
In between Sweden was the major power.
Didn’t watch the game, but I assume that was City’s Daehli in the Norwegian team last night? He’s still only 27, so he should be at his peak really, but I’d assumed he’d just faded out of the game or was playing lower division football somewhere.
Who can forget West BromQuote:

Do watch this amusing Magnus Magnusson video about Norway's first ever pub (which happened to be in Tromso and which I visited):

2-0 down after 8 mins I remember great day out, up on the train. We were drinking in a pub with a street food Indian in the back of the pub, massive place and the food was fantastic 👌
