It is good to know the winter is near!

Tonight I have been watching Norway play against Island in the first match in the qualification to South Africa 2010 world championship. Little Island with only 330 000 people! Who believed that they should have any chance against Norway,, when Norway also plays at own ground? Though Norway isn`t especial great soccer nation either, but we are 4 500 000 people in this country, and should bit Island on our own ground. But did we win? NO! We played draw 2-2, and properly the dream of South Africa 2010 is over before it really have started. Of cores we still have the chance to qualify, but it will be hard. You have to bit a country like Island if you shall qualify to a big championship. For those of us Norwegians who loves sport, it`s good to know that the winter is just around the corner. Then we can build up our ego again, and punch ourself `s in the chest and say "no doubt; we are the greatest and the best ski nation in the world!"
