Some wrap-up articles: -- Jeg er nok utrøstelig nå The article says Marit Fiane Christensen cried for over an hour after the loss and didn't blame the pitch for her bad pass directly to Marta, which resulted in the second Brazil goal. And it wasn't the broken nose Marie Knutsen suffered against Japan that kept her out of the match, but rather head pains: -- Hodepine satte Knutsen ut av spill BRAZIL - NORWAY 2-1 (1-0) Stadium: Tianjin Olympic Centre Stadium. Referee: Kari Seitz, USA. Crowd: 26,174. Cards: none. Goals: 1-0 Daniela (44), 2-0 Marta (57), 2-1 Siri Nordby (pen. 83).

Damn, I kept my fingers crossed for this young lady (her father played 8 years for my club and she was born & spent the first 2 years of her life in MG)... ... but well, it shouldn't be. At least I can fully cheer for Germany in the semi-final now.
Hey, where do you have that nice pic from? Btw: Isabell could return to her birthplace in 2011 ... and play in this nice stadium.
I still have high hopes for Isa. And I'm positive she'll be there in 2011. As for the photo, here's a full resolution (800px) version: http://lh6.ggpht.com/bonnie.lassie/R8OMKxcvtNI/AAAAAAAABnU/8HE9J0xWP3A/s800/Kai_old.jpg IIRC, I found it when a Norwegian paper did a story about how Isa and Madeleine Giske (Anders Giske) were both daughters to former Bundesliga/nat team players. And I think this is the photo they used for Kai's photo.
Anders Giske played many years for my brother's fav club 1. FC Nürnberg. Wow, Madeleine is really cute!! ) What a sexy trio! )
