Friday, April 24, 1998Norway is jubilant after upset winOSLO (AP) -- Norwegian coach Egil Olsen said his team's 2-0 win at Denmark this week may be an even bigger achievement that Norway's stunning 4-2 defeat of world champion Brazil last May."The results were among the best we have ever done," Olsen said. "Maybe even better than the victory over Brazil." He said the Brazilians had been tired after their trip to Oslo, were playing on the Norwegians home fields, and underestimated the small Nordic country. "The Danes didn't do that," Olsen said. The Danes hadn't lost a home game since September 1992, and this was the first time in 27 years the Norwegians managed to win on Denmark's home field.
