History

edit
Main article:History of the Norway national football team

Norway's performances in international football have usually been weaker than those of theirScandinavianneighboursSwedenandDenmark,but they did have a golden age in the late 1930s. An Olympic team achieved third place in the1936 Olympics,after beating the hostGermanyearlier in the tournament. Norway also qualified for the1938 FIFA World Cup,where they lost 2–1 after extra time against eventual championsItaly.This was Norway's last World Cup appearance in 56 years.

In the post-war years, up to and including the 1980s, Norway was usually considered one of the weaker teams in Europe. They never qualified for a World Cup or European Championship in this period, and usually finished near the bottom of their qualifying groups. Nevertheless, Norway had a reputation for producing the occasional shock result, such as the 3–0 win againstYugoslaviain 1965, the 1–0 away win againstFrancein 1968, and the 2–1 victory againstEnglandin 1981 that prompted radio commentatorBjørge Lillelien's famous "Your boys took a hell of a beating" rant.[8]

Norway had their most successful period from 1990 to 1998 under the legendary coachEgil "Drillo" Olsen.At its height in the mid-90s the team wasrankedNo. 2. Olsen started his training career with Norway with a 6–1 home victory againstCameroonon 31 October 1990 and ended it on 27 June 1998 after a 0–1 defeat against Italy in the second stage of the1998 World Cup.

In qualifying for the 1994 World Cup, Norway topped their group, finishing above both the European Championship winning and three-time World Cup finalists the Netherlands, and also above former World Cup winners England, beating both teams in the process.

In the1994 World Cupin the United States, Norway was knocked out at the group stage after a win againstMexico,a defeat against Italy and a draw against theRepublic of Ireland.Norway failed to qualify for second round qualification on goals scored as all 4 teams in the group finished with 4 points and identical goal difference. In the1998 World Cupin France, Norway was once again eliminated by Italy in the first round of the knockout stage after finishing second in their group, having drawn againstMoroccoandScotlandand won 2–1 againstBrazil.

Former under-21 coachNils Johan Sembreplaced Olsen after the planned retirement of the latter. Under Semb's guidance, Norway qualified forEuro 2000,which remains their last major tournament appearance to date. Semb resigned at the end of an unsuccessful qualifying campaign in 2003 and was replaced byÅge Hareide.Under Hareide, Norway came close to reaching both the2006 World CupandEuro 2008,but ultimately fell short on both occasions. Then, in 2008, it all fell apart as Norway failed to win a single game the entire calendar year. Hareide resigned at the end of 2008. His replacement, initially on a temporary basis, was the returning Egil Olsen, who began his second spell in charge with an away win against Germany, and subsequently signed a three-year contract. Olsen resigned in September 2013[9]after Norway lost at home toSwitzerlandand had limited chances to qualify for the2014 World Cupwith one game to spare. He was replaced withPer-Mathias Høgmo.Olsen later claimed he was sacked.[10]

Crest

edit
Original badge of the Norwegian national team

Norway used thenational flagon a white circle as their badge from the 1920s onwards. In May 2008 theNFFunveiled a new crest, aViking-style Dragon wrapped around the NFF logo. After massive public pressure the crest was dropped.[11]Between the 1980s and the 1990s, Norway used the NFF logo in the opposite breast of the shirt together with the national flag on a white circle. On 12 December 2014, a new crest was presented. The crest primarily features the national flag, in addition, there are two lions taken from theCoat of arms of Norwayon the top. The lions are facing each other while holding a blue miniature of the NFF logo, and between the lions and above the NFF logo, it says "NORGE" (Norway) in blue letters.[12]
