Tromsø Idrettslag vs Tottenham Hotspur
(Europa League Group Stage, 5th Round)
Let us forget about the humiliating defeat last weekend and focus on this coming weekend against the other half of Manchester. But alas, we have an Europa game to go through. A rubber game, I would say, for our boys are considered safe and sound going into the Round of 32, and our Norwegian opponent (remember, the Norwegian league runs from March to November instead of the usual August-to-May calendar) found themselves out of the Europa League as well as the Tippeligaen (Norwegian Premier League) with a relegation. Only pride plays a part here, with Spurs looking to cure some bruised egos (and the rare moment of playing north of the Arctic Circle) and Tromsø relishing the moments of top-flight football.
In case you may have noticed a difference in my writing style, yes, I am still hurt by that 6-0 scoreline.
COYS!
