You really shouldn't post the whole article, just a link to it. Two reasons: a) People have to scroll through the whole thing to see any responses. That gets annoying. b) Technically, it's a copyright violation. Little quotes are OK, but the entire article is not. Just some advice for the future.
Key Players Injured in Portugal Norway also has had a lot of key players missing because of injury such as Ragnhild Gulbrandsen and central defenders Ingvild Stensland and Anne Tønnessen who played with Bente Nordby for Kolbotn and only allowed 9 goals in 18 league matches. If those three are healthy for the World Cup, Norway's chances of winning will be greatly improved.
Marianne Pettersen Is Back!! Hege Riise was most definitely right that the best is still coming for Norway. Norwegian radio station NRK broke the news today that Marianne Pettersen has decided to come out of retirement to play for both Norway in the World Cup and to play another season for Hege Riise's former club team Asker. Pettersen who along with Hege scored a goal in Norway's 2-0 victory over Germany in the '95 World Cup, last played for Norway when they won the gold medal in the 2000 Olympics. Comeback på landslaget
