I wanna see Ajer make that kind of run for Norway :(
I didn’t see you were thinking of Yugoslavia. Well, if you feel like you inherit those achievements, good for you I guess
Beating a topped Brazil 2-1 to get to RO16 in '98 was more difficult and impressive than anything Bosnia ever pulled off
We always end up struggling away against sub-par teams like Georgia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria
Well, both Azerbaijian and Bulgaria played very cynically the times we drew against them. Azerbaijian parked three buses and Bulgaria had 11 players with orange cards when the whistle blew. (Two Nations Leagues ago)
I’m more angry with how the players are too respectful and timid against more open but better opponents. When they’re up there on that stage, they need to learn to close their eyes, and imagine the opponent is Sweden
Our best players are still young and relatively inexperienced. Our two best centre backs (Østigård at Napoli and Ajer at Brentford) are far away from the peak age of CBs. The only 30+ year old player who started against Spain is our goalkeeper, who ironically is the one who most looks like he’s 14
Georgia probably a lock here. They had harder opposition than the others in qualifiers and played well at times
