Hmm not that bad...

Probably they'll both get knocked out after their first matches I think.

Great info Rosenborgfan!

Two questions, Rosenborg are like making a new start if I understand it well, but untill now they're still suffering in the league, it's not because you lack quality?
I mean... you're just fifth in the league table and lost versus HamKam who're bottom .
Second one, who's your main rival in Norway?

Normally Rosenborg should quite easy beat NAC I think, while Rosenborg are in serious competition NAC just started with their pre-season campaign...

Also, I think I prefer Rosenborg to win instead of NAC, but that's perhaps something personal, hehe.

Not even Omroep Brabant?

As far as I know they never broadcast live matches... the only have summaries of the Eerste Divisie matches (only Brabant clubs) during the weekend...

Also, as far as I can remember, Intertoto matches have never been shown live on TV here in Holland, no one cares about this cup, unfortunately...

This is by the way the most famous Dutch song in Norway: Schipper mag ik overvaren?

:howler:

What's that for nonsense, we got a bad image up north, haha...

Anyway, good luck. :thumbsup:

Seriously wtf? 5-2-3?! Defend and then long ball or counter with help of the wing backs?
so unDutch working with 3 centre backs in this formation but hey if it works

Of course the wingbacks, especially Ammi, can play as true wingers as well, I remember Ammi scoring goals as a right-winger last season...

It's a very 'safe' one from Maaskant though, he's known as a 4-3-3 lover I thought.

The big topic in Norway today, is that Viking lost 0-1 to Vetra in the UEFA Cup after this situation. Maybe Vetra should have copied Ajax, but away goals in European cups are worth twice...

That's very harsh... but Viking got a goal back immediately after Vetra scored?

Normally Viking should be able to beat them anyway at home I guess.

EDIT: They didn't!

They still have to play the second game Knoert. Looked a bit intentional though that shot on goal. Not like Vertonghen's case a few seasons ago.

Yes, that's why I said I think Viking should be able to beat them at home anyway .

Agree on the second part, unfortunately it's never to prove...

 

[Knoert]

So NAC has beaten Rosenborg 1-0.

Good score to enter the return... Amoah scored after 19 minutes. No more info yet.

Just a mate called me who was at the match, he was totally impressed by the Romanian fans who were throwing flares and seats into his stand .

Some pics...

(they got a *********** flag as well :yuck

At once things are looking very good for NEC, probably Spartak won't win or draw in London which means they're through anyway if I'm right...
