#Norway - Hege Riise

[shahananasrin-blog]

[ad_1] Norway must attack Switzerland and seize the initiative if they are to claim their first victory at the Women's World Cup, after failing to live up to their potential in a shock loss to New Zealand, coach Hege Riise said on Monday.New Zealand upset Norway in the tournament opener where the European side were overwhelming favourites against the co-hosts, who had never before won a World Cup match in 15 attempts.The defeat left the Scandinavian side third in the group and Riise promised that group toppers Switzerland would face a "different Norway" on Tuesday compared with the disjointed team in the opener."We know Switzerland will be a tough game for us. Our focus is to give a better performance and realise our actual potential, which we didn't show last time," Riise told reporters."Attack is our best medicine. Switzerland may not be a team that frightens many others, but they have good players with individual qualities."We became a bit static (against New Zealand). We have talked about this, we've looked at footage and we also worked to deal with this during practice. So you will see a more collective Norway tomorrow."Norway striker Ada Hegerberg is a force to reckon with when she plays for Olympique Lyonnais, but she has not scored in a major international tournament since 2015, partly due to her self-imposed five-year exile from the national team.The Ballon d'Or winner has won eight league titles and six Champions League trophies, saying she still puts "a lot of pressure" on herself to perform for her country."My focus is solely on how can I prepare to be at my best to serve the team in the best position. I truly think about one thing and it's to win tomorrow. I'm prepared for what's to come and I learn a lot from my experience," Hegerberg said."I try to guide with a lot of positivity. It gets very serious in times like this and I think at some point we've got to lower the pressure a little bit, try to enjoy football because I know we can perform at a good level."We've got the quality to perform, so sometimes you've got to take it down a bit and try to be sound technically and rely on our strengths."Riise also said Barcelona winger Caroline Graham Hansen is fit and available for the match after a bout of illness.

The appointment we needed! LETS GO! 🙌🏻

International Duty Part 3

The players went into the second half with totally different faces. Norway looked like a totally different side in the second half. The players started to play more aggressively, they fought for every ball, left no play without a challenge.

7 minutes in and the first ball entered the net. Y/N's free kick straight onto Engen's head and into the goal it went. On the sidelines, Hege Riise celebrated the goal discreetly, on the other hand, the players celebrated it like crazy. A play they had been working over and over again in training gave them the lead in the game. "Let's goo" screamed Y/N running into the teams huddle "Great ball kiddo" Reiten congratulated the winger. The captain quickly added "Great play, now let's keep it up girls"

Soon after, the second goal came, a powerful shot from outside of the box from Ada Hegerberg into the bottom right corner. Spain started to look flustered, they didn't manage to have more than 5 consecutive passes without them being intercepted by the Norwegians. Engen, who had recovered a ball in the middle of the pitch screamed "Forward". Y/N made her run behind the defence, something they had done many a time during training. Engen's perfect weighted pass made it to the wingers foot, a great control and a successful dribble allowed Y/N to make her way past the last defender. This time, the goalkeeper remained on her line, but Y/N's finesse shot to the left top corner was unstoppable. Norway was 3-0 up.

They went on to win the game 3-1, conceding a coal in the final minutes of the match. In the dressing room everyone was celebrating, everyone but Y/N. The winger was the shy type, she mostly kept to herself, occasionally jumping in on the groups banter. Engen approached the calm winger "Great game by the way" she said "Keep that up and we might have a real chance to do something at the world cup" added the midfielder. Y/N, not wanting to take the credit for the final result replied "It was all ok the team, we played great out there", Engen surprisingly commented "Oh, some of it was you" she started "With the way you play, I wouldn't be surprised if the big clubs came knocking on your door" and before the Fc Barcelona player could add anything to her previous statement, Elisabeth, Y/N's roommate at the camp jumped in, "Just like you did last night". The whole dressing room burst out laughing, nobody believed what just had been said.

The time Y/N and Engen spent together was clearly not going to go by unnoticed, but at the very least, they hoped their night excursions were going to remain under the radar. "What do you girls even do?" Frida asked innocently to which Guro took no time to reply "Well.... you see, when two people like each other" she started "they get real close and intim-" but before she could finish Engen jumped in to defend herself "C'mon can't two people just be friends?" she asked but Guro wasn't letting it go "I mean- sure, friends" she mocked "Don't think those lingers in training go unnoticed missy" she added as she laughed. "Fine, we go out, make out and have fun under the stars" unexpectedly said Y/N, everyones mouth dropped, they didn't know whether Y/N was telling the truth or joking. Thankfully for the pair, the manager entered the dressing room before any more questions were asked.

On the way back to the hotel, Guro and Elisabeth did their best to try to get answers out of the supposed pair, being unsuccessful at every turn "You might as well stop, I'm not telling you anything" commented Ingrid, who went along with Y/N's unspoken plan.

Hege riise coaching norway babies.

I watched two of their games and in both of them I was shocked when they showed Hege... I knew before the tournament started she was their coach and I still got shocked twice

[uswnt5]

Casey Stoney has resigned as manager of Manchester United Women, Telegraph Sport can reveal.

The 38-year-old had been in charge of the Women’s Super League club since they reformed a senior side in 2018, guiding them to immediate promotion to the WSL from the Championship in her first season and then securing back-to-back fourth-placed finishes in the top flight.

It is understood the former England captain has been unhappy with some of the training conditions for United’s players in the past few months, but also the ex-centre-back has been attracting interest from clubs all over the world, including the American NWSL, and she is said to be likely to move into a new role this summer.

Stoney’s side finished one point behind Arsenal this term to narrowly miss out on Women’s Champions League qualification.

Having targeted breaking into the top three this term, Stoney admitted at the end of the season that missing out was “a personal failure” and appeared deeply disappointed at being caught by Arsenal, with United having topped the table at the turn of the year.

United were plagued by injuries to key first-team players since December, including United States star Tobin Heath, as well as talented England striker Alessia Russo and winger Leah Galton, among others.

Those injuries contributed to Stoney’s suffering four defeats in a run of six games between February and April, including a 2-1 loss at Arsenal, damaging their European hopes.

But the club have won their past four games in all competitions, ahead of their final match of the domestic season, a Women’s FA Cup tie at home to Leicester City on Sunday. It is not yet clear if Stoney will take charge of that fixture.

Former Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool star Stoney had been heavily linked with the Team GB head coach job, but ruled herself out of the running in public prior to Norway great Hege Riise’s appointment.

She won 130 caps for England and is one of the country’s greatest ever footballers.

Thanks!

Swewnt credit Norwnt as a good team ahead of the derby. It'll be a tough challenge

https://www.fotbollskanalen.se/sverige/norsk-trio-hyllas-infor-mote-med-blagult-det-kommer-bli-tufft/

Norwegian trio praised ahead of meeting with Blågult: "It will be tough"

GOTHENBURG. Norway against Sweden. Then Blågult pays tribute to his opponent. - They have very talented players, so it will be tough, says Emma Kullberg to the Football Channel. 

After the match against Denmark, there was a big disappointment in the Swedish camp and it has been discussed which parts need to be improved. 

- Above all the technical stuff. We miss a lot of simple passes, a lot of receptions that don't sit as they should. Actually, it's simple things that need to be improved, says Filippa Angeldahl.  

The midfielder believes that it is important to get a good result against Norway in particular to take them into the World Cup.  

- It is clear that it is important to get a good feeling from the group to continue building on the game idea we want to take with us to the WC. Then there are two training matches, so we need to try it out to know what we should not do in the WC.  

Hege Riise's gang is also praised by Blågult before the meeting.  

- We meet many of them in the league and I play with two of them. I would say that as individual players you have a pretty good grasp. There are very talented players so it will be a tough but fun match, says Emma Kullberg.  

Who might you need to keep an extra eye on? - I would say that there are many I could choose. Ada Hegerberg, Guro Reiten and Frida Maanum. They have many you could say you should keep an eye on, so above all there then. But there are more that you need to keep an eye on.  

Linda Sembrant agrees.  

- They have a very good attack with many players who have had a few years in big clubs out in Europe, so they are good there. Then it's a bit new after they changed coaches since last summer. Then we always want to create a good passing game and threaten in depth and be dangerous going forward. It is a very good and tough match against a good opposition.  

She continues:  

- Ada Hegerberg is back and midfielders like Guro Reiten and Frida Maanum stand out. They have a lot of good players with experience, a very good Norwegian team.

I was at the England-Norway game during the Euros, aka the greatest catastrophe in Norwegian history. But they are a better team than that (they played decently until they were down by 2 goals), and I think they have a decent shot at winning the group in the World Cup. They have some very good players, and while I'm not a fan of Hege Riise, I think she will do a better job than their last coach and get the team playing more cohesively.

Who do they have? Can Switzerland please just beat them 😂

At first I read ' I think they have a decent shot at winning the world cup ' 💀

[cadopan]

Norway coach is the old linköping coach. Great at club level and developing talents, apparently not so good with national teams

Awh I see... Some coaches are better at discovering/bringing talent through than managing them at the top level anyway. God forbid Hege Riise decides to step in and takeover at some point though 💀

When are England Women's fixtures in 2021? Lionesses' match schedule

When are England Women's fixtures in 2021? Lionesses' match schedule | Goal.com

Last Updated21 seconds agoAug 10, 202111:00 UTC +00:00Link copiedCommentsGettyEverything you need to know about the Lionesses' schedule across this year, including detail on Women's World Cup qualifying and potential friendliesEngland’s women’s national team will continue preparation throughout 2021 for a huge summer next year, when they host the 2022 UEFA Women’s European Championship. It promises to be a big year for the team, who are under new leadership following the departure of Phil Neville in January. Former World Cup winner Hege Riise had taken interim charge of the team for the first half of the year, but now Sarina Wiegman takes over the role, following the Netherlands' participation at the Olympic Games. With Wiegman having won the Euros with her home country in 2017, led them to a Women's World Cup final two years later and been within a penalty shootout of beating the U.S. women's national team at the Olympics, there is understandable excitement among England fans. Editors' Picks What games have England played?After having no fixtures for 11 months due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Lionesses finally returned to action in February with a 6-0 win over Northern Ireland. Games against Germany and Norway were due to take place in October and December respectively last year, but were both postponed. A positive Covid-19 test among England’s backroom staff caused the trip to Germany to be called off, while the Norwegian FA chose not to travel for the latter fixture. England then faced France and Canada in the April international break, losing both games. It means the Lionesses have now lost nine of their last 14 fixtures, form they will be eager to turn around as they continue preparations for the home UEFA Women’s Euro tournament next year. How Wiegman goes about doing that and putting her stamp on her new team in her first few games in charge will be interesting indeed. What games do England have to come?The new coach's first task as England boss will be to start the team's qualification campaign for the 2023 Women's World Cup, to be hosted by Australia and New Zealand, in a positive manner.Article continues below The Lionesses will face Austria, Northern Ireland, North Macedonia, Latvia and Luxembourg in their qualifying group, with the first fixtures to take place in September. Their second home game, against fellow home nation Northern Ireland, will take place at Wembley Stadium. It will be the Lionesses' first competitive game at the venue for 14 years. England will be huge favourites to top the group, with the main fascination for this games to be about which players Wiegman takes a liking to and how she sets up the team to play in this new era for the Lionesses.

Norwegian / old norse names and places

Every now and then I come across a book, movie, TV-series, fanfic, game or whatever, that mention a fictional "Norwegian" or "norse" place or person, and it just sounds so wrong it makes me either cringe or ROFL. Really. I still haven't recovered from the 1995 X-files episode, "Død Kalm", which took us to the port of "Tildeskan" where we met "Henry Trondheim", "Halverson" and "Olafsson".  Hopefully this list will keep others from being that “creative” with names. :)

Common names for places, towns and villages in Norway

These names are very generic and suitable for a place, village or town anywhere (and pretty much any time) in Norway. Mix and match prefixes with suffixes for diversity.  Bonus: All of these can also be used as surnames. Name (meaning) - usage

Nes (headland, cape, ness) - Standalone ​ Bø (fenced-in field on a farm) - Standalone Fjell (mountain) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Fjell- / -fjell Haug (small hill / large mound)  -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Haug- / -haug Vik, Viken, Vika (inlet, the inlet, the inlet) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Vik- / -viken / -vika Ås, Åsen (hill, the hill (larger than "Bakken")) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: ​ Dal, Dalen (valley, the valley) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: ​ Berg (small mountain) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Berg(s)- / -berg Sand (sand) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Sand- / -sand Strand (beach) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Strand- / -strand Li (hill) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Li- / -li Gran (spruce) -  Standalone or prefix: Gran- Bratt (steep) - prefix only: Bratt- Myr (bog, mire) - prefix only: Myr- Neset, Nesset (the headland, the cape, the ness) - Standalone or suffix: ​-neset / -nesset Odden (foreland, headland) - Standalone or suffix: ​ -odden Våg (cove, bay) - Standalone or suffix: -våg Lund (grove) - Standalone or suffix: -lund Sund (sound, strait) -  Standalone or suffix:  -sund Skog (forest) prefix/suffix: Skog- / -skog Øy (island) prefix/suffix: Øy- / -øy øya (the island) - suffix only: ​ -øya bakken  (the hill) - suffix only: -bakken  gard / gård / gården (farm / farm / the farm) - suffix only: -gard / -gård / -gården elv, -elva (river, the river) suffix only: -elv / -elva stad (old word for town/place) suffix only: -stad vannet (the lake) - suffix only: -vannet

Common Norwegian surnames (contemporary)

Heredatory surnames didn't become mandatory in Norway until 1923. Many took the name from the farm or place they lived, or just changed their primary patronyms into hereditary patronyms. Example: Helgessønn/Helgesdatter (son of Helge / daughter of Helge) became Helgesen.

Names usage Double names, like Ragnhild Johanne or Ole Martin are common in Norway. Just keep them as two names and don't use "-", and you'll be safe, even if it ends up a tongue twister. Using only one of two given names is also common practice.

In Norway everyone is on a first name basis. Students call teachers and other kids' parents by their first name, workers call their boss by their first name, we call our Prime Minister by her first name (journalists will use her title when speaking to her though). Some senior citizens still use surnames and titles when speaking of or to  people their own age.

There are some exceptions. For example, a doctor may be referred to as Dr. Lastname when we speak of them, but first name is used when speaking to them. A priest is "the priest" when speaking of him/her and their first name is used when spaking to them. In the millitary only surnames (and ranks) are used. If you meet Harald, the King of Norway, in an official setting you will refer to him as "Kongen" (the king). If you run into him at the gas station, or while hiking, he is "Harald".

If you don't know someone's name it is okay to use their title, or just say "you".

Names for pets (contemporary)

Dogs Laika (f) Bamse (m) (bear) Tinka (f) Loke/Loki (m) + characters from TV/film/books...

Cats Melis (m/f) (powdered sugar) Mango (m/f) (mango) Pus (f) (kitty) Mons (m) (tomcat) Nala (f) Pusur (m) (Garfield) Felix (m)  Simba (m) + characters from TV/film/books...

Horses Pajazz (m) Mulan (f) Balder (m) - cold blood Kompis (m) (pal) Freya (f) - cold blood + characters from TV/film/books...

Rabbits Trampe (m) (Thumper) Trulte (f) + characters from TV/film/books...

Cows (yes, I am serious) Dagros Rosa Mira Luna Sara + characters from TV/film - Disney is popular, as are the Kardashians :)

Road and street names

Storgata (usually the main street) Kongens gate (the king's street) Dronningens gate (the queen's street) Jernbanegata (railroad street) Jernbaneveien (railroad road) Sjøgata (ocean street) Sjøveien, Sjøvegen (ocean road) Skolegata (school street) Torvgata (plaza street) Industrigata (industrial street) Industriveien (industrial road)

Suffixes -veien, -vegen (the road)  -stien (the path)

Other Torvet (the plaza) - standalone or suffix: -torvet Havna (the port) - standalone or suffix: -havna Kaia (the port) - standalone or suffix: -kaia

Safe solution: use a first name or surname as prefix.

Bynames Bynames, or nicknames, could be neutral, praising or condescending. Usually bynames described a person's

body, bodyparts, bodily features

age

kinship and descent

territorial origin

knowledge, belief, spirituality

clothing, armour

occupation, social position

nature

Examples: Eirik Blodøks (Eirik Blood-Axe), Gammel-Anna (old Anna), Halte-Ása (limping Ása). I suggest that you stick with English for bynames, or use (relatively) modern language if you are writing in Norwegian. 

Surnames

Surnames weren't really a thing until 1923 when they became mandatory. Before 1923 patronyms (son/daughter of) were used, and the name of the farm you lived on was often added as an address. 

For instance: Helgi Eiriksøn (Helgi, son of Eirik), who lived at the farm called Vollr (grass field), would be called Helgi Eiriksøn Vollr. If he moved to the farm called Haugr his name would change to Helgi Eiriksøn Haugr.

Patronyms

Men: Use father's first name and add -sen /-son /-sønn Women: Use father's first name and add -dotter / -dottir / -datter

Farm names

Farm names were usually relevant and derived from either the location, a nearby landmark, nature or from occupation.  I suggest you stick with the modern forms for farm names.

Old Norse (meaning) - modern Bekkr (stream) - Bekk, Bekken Dalr (valley) - Dal, Dahl Horn (horn) - Horn Vollr (field) - Vold, Volden Lundr (grove) - Lund

The list of common names for places/villages/towns is still valid, although the spelling is modern. Just keep it simple and make "clever" combos based on meaning.

International Duty Part 2

The International break began, the Norwegian players made their way to Oslo, where they would begin their international camp. Their first game was against Spain, even though it was a friendly, that game would be an opportunity for the Norwegians to redeem themselves after their awful Euros display.

The players started to arrive at the Thon Hotel, the Instagram account manager recorded as the players walked through the doors and greeted each other. "Kiddooo" Elisabeth Terland greeted her U19 teammate Y/N. The players who were still at the lobby gathered around the new arrivals and greeted Y/N. "Welcome to the group Y/N" said Engen grabbing the winger into a hug. Y/N, surprised by Ingrid's touchiness remained rather stiff, "Th- Thanks" replied Y/N as she pat Engen on the back. Ingrid laughed "Aw you are a shy one huh" she mocked, making Y/N blush in the middle of the team huddle. Thankfully, Elisabeth noticed Y/N in a tight spot and discreetly saved her, she grabbed Y/N's hand and took her away "Let's goo we gotta go pick our rooms" she laughed

The team started their usual team building rituals and the first training session soon followed. The team was preparing their first friendly of the International break against Spain.

Sadly, Spain were having some trouble of their own. Some of their most important players had sent the Spanish Federation a letter demanding changes in their International camp. The whole situation escalated so much, that said players ended up being shunned from the National team, which meant that Norway would effectively play against a much weaker Spain.

This fact was forwarded by Hege Riise, the Norwegian National Team manager during their first team briefing "It might be a weaker Spanish squad, but we can't underestimate them" said the manager "We have to go out there and play our football. The new call ups will help refreshen our play". The manager soon introduced the new call ups and told them their roles in the International team "We are starting with a clean slate, I will line up my best XI based on our training sessions" announced the manager "If work hard, you will earn a spot in that XI" she added. The secondary manager soon added "C'mon girls, get to work and earn your spot here" as he pointed to the already set up drills.

Game day arrived, the team looked united and in the little time they had together, they had already developed automatisms and working partnerships all over the pitch. A Norway in it's rebuilding stage was about to play against a weakened Spain squad. This fact didn't make the match any less important. "Let's go out there and make Hege and our fans proud" declared the captain, Maren Mjelde.

The first half was pretty stale, 0-0 and it looked like nobody had the hunger for goals. In the changing room, Hege went off on the players "Where is the hunger? Do you even want to wear the shirt?" she asked angrily "You girls have 15 minutes to show me why you deserve a second call up" stated Hege as she left the room.

"Hege is right" stated Engen "We haven't looked like ourselves" she added.
