Anyone watching? I didn't realise there was so much animosity between them. I also didn't realise how good Norway are.

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.
Agreed, he was one of the few who looked at home in the Premier League at the back end of the 13/14 season - surprised his career has turned out as it has, but I suppose the fact that he's still winning caps for an improving Norway side tells you it's not been all bad.
Regarding Norway: Having returned from Tromso I learned that weak beer (below 4.7%) cannot be purchased from any outlets (including shops and supermarkets) after 8pm on weekdays, after 6pm on Saturdays and not at all on Sundays - and wine, spirits and stronger beer have to be purchased from state-owned outlets that close at 6pm on weekdays, 3pm on Saturdays and which do not open on Sundays.
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 👌
I think much of it comes from World War 2 when Sweden remained neutral and Norway was under Nazi occupation for 4 years.
Sweden didn’t actually remain that neutral and allowed nazis to travel through Sweden to power the war efforts in Norway. Many Norwegians I met can’t seem let that go
