Match report
------------
An excellent game by Norway against the world champions. What was most
encouraging was that the win was achieved by playing good football along
the ground, and not only relying on long balls towards a lone striker.
Man of the match was T.A. Flo with two goals. The Brazilians were a
pale shadow of themselves, and especiallly Ronaldo was invisible.
The midfield was also weak defensively, and in defense both center backs
had torrid games.

Although Norway substituted almost half their team at half time the good 
play continued. Some commentators described this game as Norway's best
performance ever. Let's hop that the good play contine in Budapest.
