So the World Cup is over, and Norway didn't win this time either. Oh, that's right, we didn't even qualify. But now we are back and ready start on the long road to Euro 2012.

The most important thing that has happened in Norwegian football while the eyes of the world have been on South Africa and Jimmy Jump is that FK Lyn finally has been declared bankrupt. And the club that has been playing regularly in Eliteserien lately will have to start all over again in the 8th division.

The players have lost their job, and the only thing left is a 7000 supporters and the story of one of the first football clubs in Norway.

Stian Lyngstad, the 18 year old Lillestrøm talent fractured his leg in this weekends match against Rosenborg, and will be out for a while, bad news for the boy who might be the biggest side back talent in norway right now.


Chelsea, United and Lyon are all looking to sign Anthony Annan, the 23 year old Rosenborg player did well in South Africa together with Ghana and his value will have increased further.


Rosenborg is still on the top of the league, with Tromsø, Aalesund, Vålerenga and Viking following.

These are the quarter finals of the Norwegian Cup:
Ranheim IL - Strømsgodset IF
Rosenborg BK - IK Start
Follo Fotball - Sogndal IL
Odd Grenland - Viking FK
The matches will be played 14th or 15th of August.

Watch at 1:10 to see Rosenborg's right back Mikael Lustig score a quality goal against Alta:


Odd Grenland celebrated in unfamiliar ways in the last match against Hønefoss:
