The penultimate Tippeliga preivew
The end is nigh, and just to make it fair, every game of the last two rounds will be played simultaneously. Wait, wait, that didn’t make sense. In both of the two last rounds every game will be played, oh heck, you get the idea..

Saturday, October 17, 2009
Having carefully ignored the Norwegian part of the international-break due to the thudding tedium of the thing, the preview now reappears to guide you through the altogether more interesting run-in of the Tippeliga..

Saturday, August 15, 2009
Hello!?! Can you hear us?! As the over-rated and over-hyped (though quite good, to be fair) English Premier League attempts yet again to overshadow every other sporting event on the planet, we here at NFN know we have to work hard to grab your precious attention. I mean, how can anyone possibly be expected to [...]

Saturday, July 25, 2009
It’s back! After a quick holiday the Tippeliga returns and so does the preview, tackling important issues like Kjetil Rekdal’s holiday and the possibility of Patrick Walker getting a tan.

Tuesday, July 7, 2009
Well, terrific if you like your games full of goals and incidents. No so much if you like, youknow, vaguely competent defenders. After a couple of pretty stale rounds the Tippeliga perked up a bit in round 17, with goals flying in at a fairly bonkers rate of 4,4 goals per game. Still, no matter how [...]

Tuesday, June 30, 2009
This recent bout of hot weather has made Norwegians hit the beaches like dyslexic gangsta rappers, but like busses in the Stavanger-area the Tippeliga waits for no one, and so here is a quick roundup of the latest batch of games from the top tier of Norwegian football.

Friday, June 26, 2009
Tippeliga rounds are coming thick and fast, and the market is in severe danger of being flooded. The issue is in no way helped by the fact that Rosenborg are running away with the league, while everyone else just look a bit knackered. So, with the league currently a less than entrancing event in purely [...]

Monday, June 22, 2009
13 games in and there are three teams in particular who look like they could be heading for doom and despair (or the Adeccoliga, as some call it), but amidst the casual randomness of the Tippeliga few things are ever certain and on matchday 14 all three of those teams picked up points..

Saturday, June 20, 2009
The second round of the Norwegian cup was so staggeringly uneventful and dull that we here at NFN elected to ignore it altogether. However, with an epic shootout in the South, a local derby in the Southwest and rampant minnows up North, the third round was an entirely different kettle of fish…

Friday, June 5, 2009
As Drillo prepares for his date with destiny, we here at NFN run the ruler over the Norwegian squad and look at what we can expect from Macedonia in the game that will determine wether or not Norwegians can start dreaming about South Africa 2010 again..

Sunday, May 17, 2009
JJK v HJK, Sunday 6:30pm This is a tough one to predict. As ever, it all depends on Muurinen’s team selection, and the choice between the quick and mobile strikers or the less mobile Mäkelä. He played Mäkelä in the last game, and they got a disappointing draw against Honka, so maybe he will go with [...]

Saturday, May 16, 2009
Tampere United v FC Honka, Sunday 6:30pm Tampere United have all the finesse, skill, confidence and panache of a bag of used cat litter right now. Their 1-0 loss to Haka was not an awful performance, but their goalkeeper messes up big time and they lost. he’s a young lad and should be replaced, but now [...]

Saturday, May 16, 2009
The annual May 16th round of the Tippeliga attracts big crowds of people ready for a party, as people look to kick off the May 17th constitutional day celebrations a few hours early.

Saturday, April 18, 2009
Now what’s this then? A clear blue sky and not a rain-bearing cloud in sight? In Bergen?! The town is ripe with confusion and scantily clad felines, while in Oslo flying pigs have been spotted, Sarpsborg has frozen over and apparently Azar Karadas managed to successfully control the ball several times during Brann’s training-session yesterday. On [...]

Friday, April 17, 2009
As this opening round of Veikkausliiga has been decimated by pitch related postponements, this preview is dedicated to the two men who have actually done quite a lot to get playable pitches in Finland. Harkimo was instrumental in the construction of Finnair Stadium in Töölö, before selling his stake in the ground andwinding up Jokerit’s [...]
