Pre-match: Perkins: Norwegian Cup Final 11/09

Lillestrom

1-0 Valerenga at the half over heavily favored Stabaek. Perkins has looked very good so far, but Stabaek hasn't had any great chances. After the first 15 mins or so, Valerenga has played about as well as I've seen them play this year.

 

Looks like Troy's club will get it done; 4-1 at the 80 minute mark.

 

4-1 is the final.

This was easily the best game Valerenga has played this year.

Troy had a very good second half, but the star was Mohammed Abdellaoue with 2 goals and an assist.

Troy was subbed out in the 90th minute as a thank you gesture I assume.

 

I used to play for Staebek
But I'm happy for Troy

 

Congratulations to Troy. I'm glad that he is having such a great adventure over there. Good for him!

 

Congrats to Troy, he's got hardware on two different continents now!

 

Were you replaced by that midget flanker?

 

Who?

 

Alanzinho.

PS. I was just kidding.

 

I'm out of the loop

Haven't been back to Norway for a few years.

 

In case you're wondering, it's still cold and rainy.

 

I remember having 17 hours of sunlight in the entire month of November

 

As an old Norwegian saying goes, "Thank God for the weather!"

 

No such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes

 

Haha, that's another favorite of theirs.

I am consistently amazed at how often people go outside in terrible weather here.

 

What brings you to Norway?

 

my other half is norwegian and wanted to move home for a few years

 

Evryone that plays in the final get to be champions so it is common to sub players in at the end if you leading big so that they can get the medals to.
So probably a favor to the reserve goalie.

 

you can watch som videos from the party and the match her.
