What a pathetic piece of goalkeeping by the Norwegian Number 1!

I can't even get a score update, the page looks like the game hasn't even started yet.

Not watching it, as the main news is on, but every time I tune in, Norway are attacking

77 minutes gone, still 1-0

So its 1 nil to Wales, 2 nil to Norway and 1 nil to Norway :hehe:

All over 1-0 loss

Finished 1-0 which is not a bad result considering that Norway are currently ranked twelfth in the world. I only watched the last twenty minutes, but Wales had a right go in the closing stages and had the home team hanging on at times - they weren't helped by the fact that the ref gave them absolutely nothing while I was watching, turning down a penalty appeal for handball in the dying moments that was definitely in the "seen them given before" category.

That is a bitter pill to take. A brilliant performance. Taken one of the best sides in the world to the wire. Had our chances and didn’t take them though. O’Sullivan will be disappointed. Real development in the performance though and hopefully this is something we can build on.

Finally, it was 100% a pen. We’ve got our share of luck with their disallowed goal but that’s a pen for me. Such a shame. I felt we’d have deserved the draw. The only upside here is that we do have a lot to build on in the home game. We’ve proved we can take points off them.

If you watched England away and Northern Ireland at home then you would think our keeper was two different people. We got flashes of England away today but conceded in a very similar way to Northern Ireland at home and can see why CHaD states O'Sullivan will be disappointed. Judging her on these three big games only, she seems to be a bit of a Neil Alexander.

Norway had a second goal somewhat controversially disallowed and Wales had a decent penalty shout get turned down so a one goal defeat probably fair. Losing a qualifier obviously limits how positive you can be but I thought we played really well at times and it's a team we can be immensely proud of; in fact I would say that today's performance replicated in that England away game at Southampton produces three points which shows how much development has happened in short period of time.
