Norway beat Sweden after penalty shootout - Highlights - Algarve Women’s Cup 13th March 2013

"Sweden did their best to offer the third place to Norway despite being the better team :) However, I still believe Sweden will do very well in Euro 2003. They have a great squad and a fantastic coach to tailor it to a winning team."

"Let me make a small correction about the TV schedule on Monday: Germany - Norway on Eurosport (not ESP2) Denmark - Japan on ESP2 Sweden - USA also on Eurosport (not ESP2) The third place game and the final game will be on Eurosport too."

"Lars, the problem is all income in Turkish football flows into a pool and distributed to departments from there. The share of grassroots projects in this pool is incredibly small (around 2%). Your suggestion is a fair one but TFF is a men's…"
