Norway has won seven of the last 10 world championships in western christianity and most, but when Friday and Sunday is played semifinals and final at the european championships in France, then Norway is not more than surprising.

And that means time for soul-searching in Norwegian media. In VG analyses Jostein Overvik, how bad it is.

– throughout the 14 years, Norway has always had one of kvindehåndboldens three belts. Forward to the OLYMPICS they were even reigning champion at both the OLYMPICS, WORLD cup and european championship. The total grandslam. But now it’s over

– Russia and France have taken over, and much to suggest that they meet in the european championship final on Sunday, says in his analysis.

Norway lost in the group stage with a single goal to Germany and with eight goals to Romania, and even if you in mellemspillet won three sure victories, seven, 13 and 13 goals, of which one of the latter was over semifinalisterne from the Netherlands, so it was not enough.

in the euro, Norway has scrappy over much:

eventually, should Norway use a win on three goals for Hungary against Romania or a victory for Germany against the Netherlands, and there was exactly a single goal to Hungary, while the germans were not in the vicinity of to help Norway.

– Bitterly – of course, could Norway have won the european championship, says the the Norwegian analysis, which refer to the lack of stars at its southeastern region start.

Nora Dark was injured, viceanfører Camilla the Lord wreck, goalkeeper Kari Grimsbø pause and tillidskvinde Stine Skogrand is pregnant. In addition, disappeared important Amanda Kurtovic with a korsbåndsskade six days before the european championship.

– In the run-up was the loss of players not noticeably, but as the gravity lowered in Brittany, as was the use of body language bad, and the nerves to the present. Something essential was missing. Both in the locker room and on the field. The sum of all the gaps were too big.

Now waiting for a reality, in which Norway is not automatically ready for the OLYMPICS.

Three times in a row, Norway has otherwise secured the OLYMPICS-the participation by winning the european championship in the midst of the olympic games, but it did not happen now. Now waiting for a much more uncertain and problematic way, it sounds in the VG-analysis.

Norway must now win the WORLD cup in Japan next year in order to qualify for the OLYMPICS, and otherwise you go through the OLYMPIC qualification early in the 2020 – months before the OLYMPICS.

the semi-finals of this european championship between Netherlands and France and between Russia and Romania, and they played on Friday night.
