Norway eliminated sparks mixed fan reactions

When England edged out Norway ↓ 2-1 in extra‑time, the stadium fell silent and the social feed erupted. Norwegian supporters gathered in Oslo cafés, pubs and online forums to dissect every pass, set‑piece and tactical tweak.

What the crowd says about Norway eliminated

“We gave England a run for their money,” said Lars, a lifelong follower,

“but the lack of a clear plan in the final minutes cost us.”

Others praised the midfield’s resilience, noting that the team’s defensive shape held up against a superior attack.

Analysts point to the Reuters post‑match report that highlighted Norway’s 55 % possession and 12 shots on goal, a statistical edge that vanished in the dying moments.

Even amid disappointment, many fans recalled the pandemic‑era challenges that forced the squad to adapt training routines, emphasizing how far the side has come.
