Norway besides qualified for the 1938 FIFA World Cup, where they lost 2–1 after extra time against eventual champions Italy. This was Norway ‘s last World Cup finals appearance in 56 years. In the post-war years, up to and including the 1980s, Norway was normally considered one of the weaker teams in Europe. They never qualified for a World Cup or european backing in this period, and normally finished near the bottom of their modification group. Nevertheless, Norway had a reputation for producing the casual shock leave, such as the 3–0 acquire against Yugoslavia in 1965, the 1–0 away winnings against France in 1968, and the 2–1 victory against England in 1981 that prompted radio observer Bjørge Lillelien ‘s celebrated “ Your boys took a hell of a beat ” rant. [ 6 ] norway had their most successful period from 1990 to 1998 under the fabled coach Egil “ Drillo ” Olsen. At its stature in the mid-90s the team was ranked No. 2. Olsen started his education career with Norway with a 6–1 family victory against Cameroon on 31 October 1990 and ended it on 27 June 1998 after a 0–1 defeat against Italy in the second phase of the 1998 World Cup.

In the 1994 World Cup in the United States, Norway was knocked out at the group stage after a acquire against Mexico, a defeat against Italy and a describe against the Republic of Ireland. Norway failed to qualify for second round qualification on goal remainder as all 4 teams in the group finished with 4 points. In the 1998 World Cup in France, Norway was once again eliminated by Italy in the first base round of the pink out stage after finishing irregular in their group, having drawn against Morocco and Scotland and won 2–1 against Brazil. early under-21 bus Nils Johan Semb replaced Olsen after the aforethought retirement of the latter. Under Semb ‘s guidance, Norway qualified for Euro 2000, which remains their last finals appearance to date. Semb resigned at the end of an abortive qualify crusade in 2003, and was replaced by Åge Hareide. Under Hareide, Norway came close to reaching both the 2006 World Cup and Euro 2008, but ultimately fell short on both occasions. then, in 2008, it all fell apart as Norway failed to win a one game the entire calendar year. Hareide resigned at the end of 2008. His replacement, initially on a temp footing, was the returning Egil Olsen, who began his second go in charge with an away succeed against Germany, and subsequently signed a three-year shrink. Olsen resigned in September 2013 [ 7 ] after Norway lost at home to Switzerland and had limited chances to qualify for the 2014 World Cup with one plot to spare.
