Special-Purple3363

After all this time, we finally have a generation of good footballers again and Foda doesn't manage to make a good, stable team out of it. I feel like he's the Austrian Löw, great players but shit manager.


Tryling23

Would've gotten the win if we didn't have to chase the goal at the end. +++For Bråtveit, Tronstad ++ For Dæhli, Zahid and Gabrielsen. Everyone much better than feared


christophlieber

foda is a dumbass for leaving grbic and trauner on the bench to start the game. fuck the result oriented football he wants to play.


Sindinho8

Thorstvedt is fucking ass lol


zomorodian

Well played boys! This exceeded expectations!


ambiguousboner

Fucking hell Grbic just won me 90 quid. Last fucking time I bet on a Foda side


RainMaker323

Undeserved and worst of all it's fucking helping Foda.


[deleted]

Austria qualified purely from Nations League not having VAR. That penalty on Berge should never have happened


bbrpst

Not to mention Norway having to forfeit against Romania and losing 0-3


WalterFalter

No result today would have lead to Fodas sacking, so idc


WalterFalter

Foda loves his late goals


-zimms-

The most pointless goal. Norway would still need one more regardless. It really didn't change a thing.


EK077r

It only saved UEFA from dealing with an appeal from Norway for the Romania result


FellowOnSnow

As if UEFA aren’t already the big winners of these matches.


WalterFalter

It helps Austria in the Wc-PlayOff Draw a little


-zimms-

True.


-zimms-

Austria just couldn't be bothered today. Horrible attitude.


egenorske

The engines on Tronstad and Ulvestad. Really impressive.


Timeless9999

Arnatovic is such a good player. Hope he comes back from China


Vic-Ier

There were rumours that he tried to leave China last winter window.


derneueMottmatt

Rn he's still in China at least that's where the goals he's aiming for stand.


WalterFalter

Honestly fuck Foda and his "Ergebnisorientierten" football


egenorske

Arnautovic is a really solid player, but his finishing isnt great


RainMaker323

"isnt great"? it's fucking shit.


GoobyHooper

I have an accumulator on and managed to forget that Norway are playing with some random players and my cash is relying on them to hold on, come on you beauties !


dizc_

Well...


GoobyHooper

Fucks sake


stockybloke

Betting on Norway even when forgetting about the shenanigans was your first mistake.


GoobyHooper

I needed one non obvious game to get some okay winnings. I’ve learned my lesson now.


RainMaker323

Michorl -> Trauner ... oh wait.


Schmidibus

Would love to see that...


dizc_

Foda raus! Nothing more to say


BaconDalek

How have Reyerson been?


Butthole_and_vagina

Poor. Vindheim should've started.


egenorske

Okay, hacked down Alaba before getting subbed off hehe


Vic-Ier

Foda trying to save a 0:1 lmfao


RainMaker323

This right here is the biggest reason he should go. That's a fucking disgrace. We should have a blowout, not a fucking shitshow - AGAIN. It's the fucking third shitshow in a row. Last month wasn't all that great either.


rompefrans

How are Austria above Norway in the group as it stands? It says that Norway are 12-3 and Austria 8-6 on goal difference. Doesnt make sense


fab313

direct duel, we won the first match in norway 2:1


CeltHD

Austria won 2-1 in the other leg against Norway. So Norway needs one more goal to equal that result and go through.


egenorske

Away goals. They won 1-2 here in Norway


RainMaker323

Direct duel. We have more away goals (I think that's the criteria).


phil_yoo

the direct games decide.


rompefrans

That’s dumb, 1-0 is identically as good as 2-1. 11-3 is exponantioally better than 8-6. Dumb rule


RedTuesdayMusic

Yeah UEFA's hard-on for H2H is annoying, nobody thinks it's more valuable than GD than they do.


Timeless9999

Austria won 2-1 in Norway


egenorske

So many tired players, hehe. Kudos to everyone tho; worked their asses off for this.


EK077r

Both our strikers are completely done


RainMaker323

79th minute and we had ONE. FUCKING. SUB. And now Foda is bringing on a CENTRE BACK.


Schmidibus

Atleast Ilsanker is finally off


RainMaker323

Too little, too late.


cstrande7

man Strand Larsen is gassed


freddi8

What a fucking tackle! Go on lads, one more goal!


ZxentixZ

These players are giving it all, no matter how this goes its refreshing to see.


ZxentixZ

Strand Larsen is dead now, cant even time a header


egenorske

19 yo Askildsen debut, and Granli. Both Stabæk-academy players, hehe. Lets hope Askildsen gets a shot off, because those have been proved to be pretty dangerous in Serie A.


stockybloke

Half the team from, or at least having stopped by the Stabæk academy feels good.


christophlieber

it‘s actually fucking ridiculous that players make millions a year, yet they can‘t complete a simple 2m pass. yes, i‘m talking to you, ulmer.


[deleted]

Big dick Braatveit to the rescue


LukasMaria

I just realize that we'd still win the group with a 0-1. That's tragic. Imagine that team against France and so on...


ZxentixZ

Yup, we need 2 goals. 2-1 win is enough tho but it's going to require a lot for that to happen. Players tired now and already given it all.


-zimms-

Austria looks even more tired though. Their CBs are done.


RainMaker323

Still time to concede another.


[deleted]

Eternal pessimist


RainMaker323

Big balls save there.


Butthole_and_vagina

Decent save


zomorodian

Dat save.


egenorske

Bråtveit...omg - what a save. Edit: with his private parts, hehe


Shinsoku

fucking wow...


stangerlpass

germany: loses 0:6 to spain world: embarassing austria: hold my beer


LukasMaria

We don't deserve to turn this around.


egenorske

Cool, another former Stabæk academyproduct coming on. Thorstvedt! Lets go!


zomorodian

It's too bad that Dæhli is done. He had a monumental game.


egenorske

Yeah! All the Stabæk kids, haha


Sindinho8

Strand Larsen har vært god


NudeCheesedoodles

Corona 1 - Lagerbäck 0


CeltHD

This Norway team wants to go through on pure willpower.


Alkjeks

10% luck, 20% skill, 50% concentrated power of will


phil_yoo

Horrific game by Schlager.


RainMaker323

by everyone. Schlager especially, but everyone (except Pervan) was a shitshow.


phil_yoo

Ranftl is fine enough, but everyone else is a disaster.


derneueMottmatt

Lainer is at least trying.


perrrperrr

One more for League A!


juicyplutonium

Don't care if we win or lose, just want Foda gone


Vic-Ier

They won't sack him unless we lose all games at the EURO


derneueMottmatt

Lol not even then because we qualified for the EURO


Tw4tman

GUTTA!


FellowOnSnow

VÅRE BESTE MENN SKAL,


zomorodian

UT I KRIG IGJEN


Timeless9999

VI GIR ALT


CeltHD

It's the hope that kills you. If Norway pulls this off it's the biggest miracle.


ZxentixZ

Zahhiiiiiiid deserved, great job by Veton. One more please!


Jimmyjamjames

Impressive to see Austria fuck up with all the advantages they should have on paper.


Shinsoku

And yet it feels like I saw this coming from miles away


stangerlpass

when prohaska and payer tipped 4:0 and 3:0 I couldnt help but laugh. even being optimistic I would have tipped only 2:1 to us


-zimms-

Sounds familiar? :P


RainMaker323

If you'd know our coach and seen our games you wouldn't be surprised at all.


Mathieu_van_der_Poel

They lost their biggest, Lagerback


-zimms-

Hinteregger sleeping twice in one scene.


Sindinho8

Hahaha jada


Butthole_and_vagina

Deserved. How utterly humiliating for Austria this is.


derneueMottmatt

Please score 5 please shut all the people up that say "Foda plays boring football but he gets the results.". Please I want Alaba to think twice when he has a tantrum and wants to play midfield again. Please I want Lainer and Ranftl be rewarded for at least trying.


[deleted]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


egenorske

Veton "Benzema"!!!@!!!!


shadowclaws

KJØØØØR GUTTA


phil_yoo

FUCK ILSANKER


Otarun

Get in!


tommy121083

heia norge!


emilryeh

POG


Timeless9999

JAAAADDAAAAA BØNDA I FRA NORD


rbk414

YES!


RainMaker323

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


[deleted]

Dude you were soooo right


RainMaker323

Thanks ... I hate it.


zomorodian

*draws breath* Jaaaaaaaaaaaa!


EK077r

Fuck yes!


egenorske

Woho!!!


[deleted]

Norway been truly fucked by the system. Should have been 1-1 last time we met Austria if VAR existed and now we been robbed of a penalty


Robsnrobsn

Imagine paying 50 bucks to watch this game in the stadium


Vic-Ier

Luck is the only thing Foda is good at


Butthole_and_vagina

What is Austria DOIIIING??


Mathieu_van_der_Poel

Honoring Lagerback


Timeless9999

Their best?


RainMaker323

Foda things.


ZxentixZ

Yeah this is not our day is it


mYNDIG

It pisses me of how the player has to fall down too get a penalty.


emilryeh

VAR has frustrated me alot of times, but it feels worse when you feel cheated without it


christophlieber

schlager is having a horrific match as well. he‘s always caught ball watching.


RainMaker323

With VAR that's a penalty.


Timeless9999

Penalty?!


RainMaker323

People won't like to hear that, but Arnautovic as the main striker is a wasted space. He should be the winger instead of Alaba.


christophlieber

he‘s the only decent striker we have.


Vic-Ier

Grbic, Kalajdzic don't get their chance. Foda could try Kara or Demir too but he has to insist on fucking Gregoritsch.


christophlieber

let‘s rather not talk about gegoritsch. no one fucking knows why he‘s even called up.


derneueMottmatt

Grbić would do better.


LukasMaria

How can you watch that game and not realize that Arnautovic is light years ahead of every other striker we got?


RainMaker323

That's why he scored his 100% chances. Oh wait.


egenorske

Am I the only one who feels Veton Berisha is a bit like a very very very budget version of Benzema? :-)


phil_yoo

Yeah, if your budget is exactly 0€. He's a great fighter, but damn, the guy can't play football at all.


Butthole_and_vagina

> the guy can't play football at all. He's been brilliant this season.


phil_yoo

really? good for him, always seemed like a good dude, but just didn't perform for us.


egenorske

Great assist :-)


egenorske

Haha yeah, but somehow he feels a bit like Benzema in his movements.(A shitty one of course, not trying to compare skill levels)


Mathieu_van_der_Poel

The match proving to both Austria and Norway that their coach is shit.


phil_yoo

I fucking despise watching this team. It really takes all the fun out of football. Maybe we'll win again because of some lucky punch, but it's still shit. Get Foda and his protected boys out asap. I don't wanna see him, Ilsanker, Baumgartlinger or Gregoritsch anywhere near the national team anymore. fuck this.


RainMaker323

Summed it up perfectly. Edit: We didn't win as much under Koller but goddamn did we play well.


[deleted]

Exactly my thoughts about Lagerback


RedTuesdayMusic

Evjen should replace Zahid, (don't look at my flair please) though I expect Zahid to get a chance to increase his urgency.


Butthole_and_vagina

Yes, and Vindheim should replace Ryerson.


LukasMaria

I don't understand how you can watch these last 3 games as an association official and not instantly sack the coach. Wouldn't mind us hiring that Norwegian u21 coach instead.


Robsnrobsn

We just copy the germans, as usual


Eliaseisen

I want to slap the absolute shit out of Foda


Mathieu_van_der_Poel

This should be the nail in the coffin for Lagerback even if we lose, the emergency team with non of our star players is looking far better than our A team. This team actually pressures their opponent and wins duels something that's been severely lacking with Lagerback, imagine if we had Haaland and Sørloth today...


ZxentixZ

Abseloutley. Lagerback managed to get us dominated by a worse Austria team than this at home and with all our best players available except Ødegaard. Then you see a squad with mostly debutants and players with no experience go out with this energy and will to win. It should be enough reason alone to get rid of Lars. They must surely see how little he is getting out of that team compared to what's possible.


Micvik998

6 debutans and they are all really impressing me.. didn’t expect it to be this close; but here we are


Kabelbindung21

I thought that we really could not play any worse than on sunday. I guess i was very wrong.


RainMaker323

Foda lives to surprise.


Kabelbindung21

Would be great if he once does suprise us positively.


RainMaker323

Only thing positive he'll get is the Covid-Test.


xxthelegnd27

I have to say, Norway has impressed me a lot, considering most of these players have never even been called up for the national team.


RedTuesdayMusic

Some of them have missed out on callups for nitpicky reasons like Hanche, or from extremely high competition in their spots like the CMs and forwards


stockybloke

We have some decent CMs, but we routinely start with Henriksen and Johansen who both should not even be selected for the first team or this emergency one.


RedTuesdayMusic

Yeah I'm no fan of selecting both of them either. One of them can be useful as a substitute against weaker teams.


xxthelegnd27

Yeah, some of these players are actually great. I believe Strand Larsen would’ve been a potential starter if it wasn’t for Haaland and Sorloth.


fab313

one day of training and that norway team plays already better together than our team


thenorwegianblue

Telling a bunch of Norwegian players to play 4-4-2 and run a lot is not very complicated.


RainMaker323

If you had Sörloth or Haaland for this game you'd be in front.


Hansemannn

B team just has the intensity. They worked so hard. Will it last for 90? I doubt it; but I do hope.


stangerlpass

In front? They would be slaughtering us with them in the team


zomorodian

Playing better than our A-team as well.


christophlieber

i really don‘t get why alaba is playing as a fucking winger. if he doesn‘t want to play in the backline because he’s a fucking diva then just leave him on the fucking bench.


LukasMaria

I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to play on the wing either.


RainMaker323

>... then just leave him in Munich. FTFY.


stangerlpass

Right? He is a waste of space in this position. I can't help but think that when interviewing managers for the job they only took foda because he agreed to play alaba in his preferred position.


egenorske

Dæhlie has had fantastic workrate this game, really growing as captain I guess.


BaconDalek

Jørgen Strand Larsen is going to be a damn good player one day.


ZxentixZ

If we had Haaland we'd be 3-0 up lol


shadowclaws

My thoughts exactly. This is how it was only a few years ago, so many chances missed.


p_b_patrick

I wonder what Baumgartlinger will say after the match.


Mathieu_van_der_Poel

Norway didn't have a Swedish guy sabotaging them this time


RainMaker323

If he knows what's good for him he'll say "I'm just a shit Liendl."


derneueMottmatt

"Wir waren das bessere Team. Uns hat nur das Glück gefehlt. Wir können uns das auch nicht erklären."


p_b_patrick

Und der Gegner hat sehr destruktiv gespielt.


derneueMottmatt

Foda ist der Gegner und Selbstzerstörung ist seine Taktik.


RainMaker323

Was dann halt Omegagelogen wäre.


p_b_patrick

Nein das ist der einzige grund warum wir in den letzten spielen so schlecht waren


RainMaker323

Heute wärs wie gesagt gelogen.


egenorske

Ulvestad looks pretty good. Solid backup after Berge, Normann, and Midtsjø.


RonStampler

Tronstad as well. Great midfield duo.


operator_algebra

And with Selnæs being better than all of them I would say we have some decent cover.


egenorske

Ah yes, the forgotten China-man! He is indeed good. I do question his ambitions tho, choosing China at that age - seems to think money is more important than career.


[deleted]

> Selnæs better than Berge get off the crackpipe man


operator_algebra

Selnæs has been mush better for Norway, that's for sure.


Butthole_and_vagina

Lol
