I was born in the mid 90’s. I feel like i have experienced nothing but disappointments with our national team. We always end up relying on other teams results. We always end up struggling away against sub-par teams like Georgia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria or whatever. We always draw/lose games where national teams that are on the same level as us win quite easily. We should be dominating teams like that but we just dont.
And then we play meaningless friendlies against shit where things look kinda good and media gets hyped etc before instant disappointment when we draw 1-1 against Georgia
This should be a job HIGH on the list of coaches willing to be a national team coach so I think we need a new coach, maybe a foreign one. I dont think there are any Norwegian coaches that can lead us to something good but we dont pay our head coaches enough for that. I dont think Solbakken and his childhood friend who was coaching a team in 2nd or 3rd division before the national team can take us there.
My dad always says that since we now have world class players playing for PL titles and CL titles etc and that they maybe hold back a few percent to stay fit for club games that matter more, maybe there is something to that.
We always end up struggling away against sub-par teams like Georgia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria
Well, both Azerbaijian and Bulgaria played very cynically the times we drew against them. Azerbaijian parked three buses and Bulgaria had 11 players with orange cards when the whistle blew. (Two Nations Leagues ago)
I’m more angry with how the players are too respectful and timid against more open but better opponents. When they’re up there on that stage, they need to learn to close their eyes, and imagine the opponent is Sweden
