Norway will today play v Argentina. The most known players is Maxi Rodriguez, Leo Messi, Milito-brothers and Mascherano from Argentina.

Here's the lineups.

Norge (4-3-3):

Opdal
Storbæk - Ronny Johnsen - Hangeland - J.A. Riise
B.H. Riise - Hæstad - Andresen
Braaten - Carew - Pedersen

Argentina (4-3-1-2):

Ustari
Zanetti - G. Milito - Haray - Burdisso
Rodriguez - Mascherano - Gonzaléz
Messi
D. Milito - Lavezzi

Notice that Ronny Johnsen (38) do a comeback for Norway today. The VIF-giant have a huge season this year.

Half-time Norway wins 1-0 with a penalty scored by Carew. The usual, for Argentina in friendlies the players don't give a damn except for 1 or 2, only 1 practice with all the players, and they don't play with any interest like in the qualifiers or tournament, so this isn't a surprise. Zanetti is probably the only one doing an effort in Argentina, i wouldn't be surprised if Norway scored another goal in the second half, it was evident that Gabriel Milito can't play as a left back before the match so i don't know why insist with it and not use Burdisso there. Sorta a poor match overall, i liked Riise(the 21) from Norway.

You mean Bjørn Helge Riise, John Arne's brother.
Some of the guys doing a job for Argentina. But I will also say that Norway have played well, and f.ex with Riise and Braaten, was a nice attack.

Noway up 1-0 at HT

Well full time Norway won 2-1. As i said not a surprise if Norway scored another goal, a major waste of time bothering to score another goal but Maxi Rodriguez scored anyway. In the second half it looked like the norweigan defenders wanted Argentina to score. Zanetti was the best of Argentina and probably the man of the match and the best of Norway was Carew. Finally another useless friendly is gone.

Nice. We won 2-1, and have never lost for Argentina. 1-0 in 1986, and 2-1 in 2007. Im satisfied by the guys. Well done!
