Soccer World Cup 2015 / Norway
This article is about the Norwegian national women's soccer team at the 2015 Women's Soccer World Cup in Canada . Norway took part in the World Cup finals for the seventh time, but were eliminated in the first knockout round. The World Cup also serves as qualification for the football tournament at the 2016 Olympic Games for the European teams . Since only the three best European teams qualify for the Olympics at the World Cup, direct Olympic qualification was missed. You now have to determine the third European Olympic participant in playoff games with the teams from the Netherlands , Switzerland and Sweden that were also eliminated in the round of 16 .
qualification
The reigning European runner-up met in the European qualification group 5 on Albania , which took part in the qualification for the first time, Belgium , Greece , the Netherlands and Portugal . The Norwegian team won nine out of ten games and only lost the last game against their direct rivals Netherlands, when they were already qualified for the World Cup. With the 11: 0 on September 13, 2014 in Albania on the penultimate matchday against Albania, the team qualified early. The best goalscorers were Caroline Graham Hansen (8 goals), Isabell Herlovsen (6), Ada Hegerberg and Maren Mjelde (5 each). Coach Even Pellerud , under whom Norway became second world champion in 1995, used a total of 29 players in qualifying. Of these, Ingvild Isaksen , Maren Mjelde and Nora Holstad Berge were used in all ten games.

preparation
Norway began preparing for the World Cup immediately after successfully qualifying with two games against the also qualified New Zealanders. Both games were played on artificial turf in the Randaberg Arena , as the World Cup will also be played on artificial turf. On November 25, 2014 it was only enough to score 1: 1, two days later they won 2-0. On January 13, 2015, a game in La Manga against neighboring Sweden was lost 3-2 after a 2-0 half-time lead. A game against Ireland is scheduled for January 15th . In spring, the team will also take part in the traditional Algarve Cup in Portugal and meet Iceland (1-0 on March 6th), Switzerland (2-2 on March 9th), which will take part for the first time, and record winners in the group stage USA (1-2 on March 4th). As the second-best runners-up in the group, the Norwegians met third-best runners-up Denmark on March 11th and won 5-2, with Solveig Gulbrandsen doing a "flawless" hat trick in the first half . On April 8, they lost 3-2 to the Netherlands in Strømmen . On May 23, the Norwegians lost to Belgium for the first time in Heverlee (2: 3). In the last friendly on May 29, they beat Finland 2-0 . In addition, three players (goalkeeper Cecilie Hauståker Fiskerstrand , Maria Thorisdottir and Lisa-Marie Karlseng Utland ) were used together with some players who were not considered for the World Cup in the 3-0 win of the U-23 team against England on May 27th.
Games at the World Cup
Venues |
When the groups were drawn, Norway was not seeded and was drawn into group B with European champions Germany.
In addition, the team met the World Cup newcomers Ivory Coast and Thailand . Germany is the Norwegian team's third most popular opponent after Sweden and the USA (both 48 games). Previously there had been 38 games between the two of them, of which 14 were won, five ended in a draw and 19 were lost. The goal difference was also negative at 48:66. Both of them met twice at world championships: in 1995 in the final, which the Norwegians won 2-0 and thus their only world title to date, and in 2007 in the semifinals, which Germany won 3-0 on the way to their second world title . The last victory against Germany came on July 17, 2013 in the European Championship group game. After that, however, the European Championship final and a group game at the Algarve Cup 2014 were lost against the German team. There was only one game against Thailand before the World Cup that was won 4-0 at the 1988 Women's FIFA Invitational Tournament. Norway had never played against Ivory Coast before.
Former world champions Norway (11th in the FIFA world rankings) met in this group, in which two ex-world champions meet in the group stage for the first time at a women's World Cup, on the one hand on the world number one Germany and on the other hand on the FIFA world rankings Before the World Cup, the worst placed World Cup participant Ivory Coast (67th place). The third group opponent Thailand was in 29. The group average was 27, making this the second weakest and most unbalanced group.
Norway started with a 4-0 win against the physically inferior Thais before being dominated by European champions Germany in the second game in the first half. The Norwegians fell behind in the sixth minute and were lucky that after 45 minutes it was only 0: 1. In the second half, coach Even Pellerud replaced the oldest player Solveig Gulbrandsen and Norway played more aggressively from then on. After an hour of play, Norway received a direct free kick shortly before the German penalty area border, which Maren Mjelde used to equalize with an artificial shot in the corner. The goal was then nominated for the most beautiful tournament goal. After that, both teams largely neutralized each other, because the German team could no longer build on the performance of the first half and so both parted with a 1: 1, which was ultimately satisfactory for both. In the last group game against the already hopeless Ivory Coast, Ada Hegerberg gave the Scandinavians an early lead and increased them to 2-0 in the second half. Gulbrandsen then increased to 3-0 with their 54th international goal, before the Ivorians scored the consolation goal with a long-range shot from Ange N'Guessan , the smallest player in the World Cup.
Norway finished second in the group due to fewer goals scored and met England , second in Group F , in the round of 16 on June 22, 2015 in Ottawa. England had previously won 11, drawn two and lost three times in 16 games against England. However, there have been three defeats and a draw in the last four games. Norway has not won a game against England since 2002 and has not been able to stop this series in Canada either. Although they dominated the game at first and took a 1-0 lead, which was once again ensured by the oldest player in the squad. But England equalized shortly afterwards and turned the game around. The game also had a special meaning for the Norwegians, as the defeat missed the direct qualification for the 2016 Olympic Games. However, since three other European teams were eliminated in the round of 16 and only two European teams eligible to start at the Olympic Games reached the quarter-finals, they still have the chance to play the third European team in playoff games with the teams from the Netherlands , Switzerland and Sweden , who were also eliminated in the last 16 To get an Olympic ticket. They go into the Olympic qualification without Even Pellerud , who resigned from his position as national coach in August.
