Fourth Game

Norway needs to score a lot of goals tonite when the play Northern Ireland tonite at 9:00 PM. Because of Canada's 10-1 win over Poland on Monday night, and because of Ukraine's 8-3 win over Northern Ireland, Norway needs to win 7-0 or score more than 7 to advance to the quarterfinal round of the WCP CUP.

*Update*
Norway came out strong yesterday and pulled off the 10-0 win over Northern Ireland. That win not only put Norway in first place in their pool, but it also bumped Canada to second place and knocked Ukraine out of playoff contention.

First Game

Norway takes on Poland tonight @ 9:00PM. This post will be updated later with the result and breakdown of the game.

*Update*
It took Norway a while to shake off a bit of rust and first-game nerves, but once they scored the first goal, everything began falling into place. They could have finished off some more of their chances during the course of the game; however, they did manage to finish off some nice ball movement. The final score was 5-2 for Norway.
