You MAY remember the 1998 World Cup group stage, Norway vs. Brazil.
Norway HAD to win, and in the 88th minute they were given a penalty.
Kjetil Rekdal stepped up, and calmly netted it.

Now he's a coach, and has done a miracle at belgian Lierse.
In November he arrived as new Lierse boss, the club was on the bottom of the table with 2 points from 15 matches.
In the last round, they were facing Lokeren, and main rivals Beveren played against St. Truiden.
Lierse hammered Lokeren 4-1, but in the Beveren match the score was still 2-2.
In the 89th minute.
And then, would you believe it, St. Truiden scored.
Lierse will still have to play some play-off's, but back in November, even that seemded impossible.

Now Rekdal is headed for Kaiserslautern.



Seriously, this is amazing.

Rekdal resigned as coach for VÃ¥lerenga August 21 2006. He was appointed Manager of his former club Lierse on November 21 2006. When he arrived at the club, Lierse had gotten 2 points on 15 matches. At the end of the season, they ended up with 26 points and avoided direct relegation, but are due for the relegation playoff match.

On May 17th 2007, Kjetil Rekdal supposedly signed a deal to manage Kaiserslautern in the German Zweite Liga.


I just love the name "Valerenga".
Locke Lamora
The name comes from a certain district in Oslo, and the rivalry between Valerenga and Lyn (lightning) is famous.
Valerenga are the workers, people who don't own big cars and speed boats like those slobs thats supporting Lyn...

A bit the difference between Milan and Inter... at least in the past.
QUOTE
In the past, Inter was seen as the club of the Milan bourgeoisie (nicknamed bauscia, a milanese term meaning "braggart"), whereas AC Milan was the working-class team (nicknamed casciavit, meaning in the milanese dialect "screwdriver", with both reference to the blue-collar worker, and to "awkward") and was supported mainly by wworkers, trade unionists and migrants from Southern Italy.[citation needed]. However in the recent years this difference has mitigated, since Milan is now owned by past conservative Prime Minister of Italy Silvio Berlusconi and Inter is owned by a centre-left businessman, Massimo Moratti.
