11 months agoNorway has a good team, but hasn’t really been at their best. And one or two bad results can have a huge impact. They lost a lead against Scotland late in a game. Scotland also managed to beat Spain, which was an upset. There’s 6 “unexpected” points for Scotland. Without those two Norway would have a decent chance at making it through.
It’s the little things. Perhaps Norway need someone else to lead the team into the next qualifiers, someone who can help them reach another level.
Even if the ref somehow missed it, I can’t imagine VAR managed to check it properly in such short amount of time. Looked like the play resumed within like 10 seconds. There just wasn’t enough time to tell the ref that they are checking something, see it in slowmotion in a few angles and then report back that “nah, we didn’t see anything wrong”.
