This would mean you were very successful at one time. Norway has a distinct lack of international success, chance to change it in the next 5-10 years though. A few more good players to add to Haaland and Odegaard and you should do something

Maybe Sweden or Bulgaria for the HSV of Europe

Let us not forget our Olympic bronze medal ;)

I think he just means that we have big potential and always fail. Saw some stats that in the last 20 years we were the team closest to qualifying for a major tournament without actually going in. Four lost playoffs and several qualifiers where we missed out by three points or less.
