The fight is still going on. The European Championship match between England and Norway has not yet been played, but after a terrible 45 minutes, England leads 6-0 and is about to make Norway completely a laughing stock for an entire football world. – This is downright embarrassing. Not in my wildest imagination had I imagined that this could be a scenario. 0-6 after 40 minutes. It is completely unreal, said news commentator Andreas Stabrun Smith stated. Here you can see the goals from the first half: – Some of the most embarrassing Stabrun Smith is not alone in reacting. Football Norway is in armor after the unusually weak round. – This is some of the most embarrassing I have seen of a Norwegian national team. Totally without their own offensive game. Equally totally without defensive structure – and in addition, many of the players look terrified. Can not possibly get worse, writes football expert Lars Tjærnås on Twitter after Norway’s nightmare round. – I have a pretty good memory. I’m approaching 48 years old, I’ve been a sports idiot since I was 4-5 years old. Of everything that the Norwegian national team has to do: Football, handball, bandy, floorball, all parade sports – I have never seen a Norwegian national team been ravaged again. This is a pure horror movie. It is a horror film mixed with action paralysis, says Aleksander Schau. Here you can watch the second round live on NRK1. The match is about to enter with a negative sign in the history books for the Norwegian women’s national team. Norway’s biggest loss in the European Championships is 0-4 for Germany from 2009, but Norway’s biggest loss in a championship is 0-5 for China in 1999. Both of these are now about to fall. How far will Norway go in the European Championships? Final Semi-final Quarter-final Breaks out in the group stage Show result Cheap penalty before 0-1 The match was only ten minutes old when England got a penalty kick. It happened when Ellen White went to the ground after a duel with Maria Thorisdottir. – I think it looks cheap. Where is the contact? It is not enough to punish, was the verdict from news expert Carl-Erik Torp. – Extremely cheap, added news commentator Andreas Stabrun Smith. But VAR believed that it was not a so-called “clear and obvious error” and did not intervene. Thus, Georgia Stanway got to send England in the lead with a well-placed penalty kick. Especially on Norway’s left, England created constant dangers, and it did not take many minutes before the Norwegian nightmare start continued. Lauren Hemp put in 2-0 after a quarter, a goal that was first waved for offside, but approved after VAR check. Thorisdottir mistake After a short half hour, things got worse when Maria Thorisdottir cloned it for herself. She lost the ball as the back woman and let Ellen White come through alone with Guro Pettersen and put in 3-0. – She simply can not make such mistakes. That ball should only go to one touch, Thorisdottir, it is so unnecessary, was the crystal clear verdict from Carl-Erik Torp. Ten minutes before the break, Beth Mead increased to 4-0 when she got a header from close range after a post from the right, and the same player increased to 5-0 with a single dribble raid minutes later. Ellen White put an end to a Norwegian horror affair. The question now is whether Norway will be able to rise after the break. Continued hope for a quarter-final As 99 per cent will surely be a Norway loss against England, and considering Austria’s victory against Northern Ireland earlier in the evening, it is clear that there will be a pure final for a quarter-final ticket between Norway and Austria when the teams meet on Friday . Since Norway will probably lose by more than two goals, Hegerberg & co. now win against Austria to advance to the quarterfinals. In the event of a loss or a draw in Friday’s match, the Norwegian women have finished playing in the championship. This is because Austria will then move on to the total goal difference in the group if it ends in a draw in the last match.
