Oh yes they were very poor today Spain - They were all looking at the ball and waiting it in, nobody was running, and it felt more dangerous when Norway went on attack - which was VERY rare.

But how the hell can Camacho play Molina in goal- he was REALLY awful..don't get..( what a blunder he did on the goal)

And I have NEVER understood why all is saying that they are favourites...

They have Raul, Guardiola...then what - Mendieta yes, but he didn't even play in the beginning but when he came in they played a bit better..

What I'm trying to say is that they don't have the players they need to win the championship...no way...

Goalscorer: Iversen ( Tottenham )

Spain 2000 for some reasons reminds me very much of Italy 1998, only that it seems that Spain does not have Vieri (Morientes) and Baggio.

Great expectations, now they lost to their second best opponent - if YUG will play like they can, Adios Espagna.
Potentially however, they remain Top 5.

Obviously YUG don't play at all - GO SLOVENIA!!!

Obviously YUG don't play at all - GO SLOVENIA!!!

Okay Spain dident play up there best, but this is still first round, wait until we reach quaterfinales and then see which nations who comes true, i guess it still will be nations like, Portugal, Spain, France,...

PS. please Norway why they hack dont you play more attacking kind of soccer, instead of that anti-soccer style of football.

Ricococo.

they didn't have luis enrique.

i think that people are seriosly underestimating Norway
they may not set the world on fire by the way they play but it is sure effective..

what would you rather be??
a team that can turn it on sometimes and other time get slaughtered??
or a team that plays a dour brand of soccer but is a very solid team who get the job done??

I agree!

Norway was in our group (Greece) and I saw how they play.They are unified and will get the job done!Mark my words they are going to win this group,no doubt about it!

Norway may be go ahead and win there group based on there strict defensive kind of soccer, but i think it will emty the stadiums for soccerfans. Even then i know that Denmark won in 92, on a similar kind of soccer, but it was only entertaining for the danish soccerfans.

Norway are almost unbeatable IF they score the first goal. Their entire system is focussed on counterattack and they have achieved perfection in it. The problem tehy will have is when they fall behind. Then the two tall but not very agile centre defenders will fall short and the opponents will just double cover the technically limited Flo and Carew. If however Norway manages to get the first goal all the time, they might go a long way.
