Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
England had overwhelming possession
yet could muster only a couple of half-chances against a Norwegian team
packed with seven British-based players and plainly interested in
strolling through the game ready for their trip to the United States for
the Englandless World Cup finals. The nearest England came to scoring was
when Alan Shearer, taking a free-kick quickly, surprised goalkeeper
Thorstvedt, who pushed his shot against the post. From the rebound Platt
thought he claimed the winner of this dour affair. But the referee ordered
the free kick, from which England thought they had scored, to be retaken.
England lacked the inventiveness and the guile to change the pace and
shape of attacks against the massed Norwegain defence. Venables comforted
himself afterwards with the assertion that his three games to date had
been invaluable, 'We have got a spirit going, and we are getting a shape
to the team,' he said. 'It is a beginning.'
