The Norwegian coach comments on entering the 1/8 finals after defeating Kottu'Ivar
Norwegian coach Stolle Solbakken was delighted to beat Kottu'Ivar in the round of 16 and advance to the round of 18.
Norwegian national team head coach Stolle Solbakken shared his feelings after defeating Kottu'Ivar 2:1 in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup.\n\n"If I can handle this, I can handle everything. I am proud to be back in a tournament after 28 years. Playing with USA, we have won three matches in thirty years. Our fans beat USA all over.\n\n" Feelings at the end? It's a grief that can't be taken anywhere else, a feeling that can only be felt in one match. We were up against a giant team and they outplayed us in terms of physicality. The match went from one team to another and it seemed like it could be won at any time.\n\n"We had almost two chances for our opponents, so it was a fair win. But sad about their coach - the difference between the teams was small," said Solbakken.\n\nAt the end of 1/8, Solbakken's team is expected to face Brazil.
