 I don't have much to add to Kent's description of the game as I
share his views almost completely.  We were in the end
lucky to escape another defeat at home to Sweden. As Kent pointed out
we started brightly in the first 20 minutes or so , but after that....
 Not that the Swedes were excellent or very superior but their kept 
the play at a higher speed than the Norwegians throughout the game.
The chances for both teams were very few and far between, especially
in the second half. All in all a rather disappointing and 
boring friendly (and cold as well, the autumn is edging on...).

 The line-ups (from the top of my head):
