Rosenborg and Strømsgodset were both worthy winners in their semifinals.
But in both matches it could easily have gone the other way round. 
In Trondheim Lillestrøm forced Rosenborg into extra-time before a 
spectacular 20-metres blaster from their captain Brandhaug settled the game.
In Drammen Strømsgodset had to soak up tremendous pressure by their 
neighbours and newly promoted Mjøndalen in the first 20 minutes. But
after Johnsen had given them the lead SIF never looked back. In the second
half the difference between a team playing in the premier league and one 
playing in the first shone through and Strømsgodset could have won by a
larger margine. Incidently last time Strømsgodset qualified for the final
in 1973 they won surprisingly 1-0 against....you're right Rosenborg.
 This time Rosenborg must be strong favourites again but maybe SIF can
spring another surprise... (As a neutral ?? supporter at least I hope 
so !!) Sorry all RBK-fans !!
