It comes after Israel lost 1-2 to Romania in the European Championship qualifiers on Saturday.
It looked bright as Israel got off to a dream start after Eran Zahavi put the team ahead.
But it was short-lived.
Not long after, Romania equalized through George Puscas.
This is bad news for the hopes of the Norwegian European Commission.
To: If Israel loses or draws, it is impossible for Norway to qualify for the European Commission through the Nations League.
We will come back here.
It’s a shame that things got worse for Israel and Norway when Romania took the lead in the second half. Ianis Hagi looked good and precise when making the score 2-1 with a field shot from distance.
This is also the final result which means Romania and Switzerland have progressed from Group I to the WC in Germany.
Valentin Mihaila was sent off for Romania before the end of the game, but Israel failed to score.
As mentioned, this result is bad news for Norway.
Norway will have to hope that Israel and Switzerland qualify directly for the EC from group I – and that Romania does not qualify directly. This is due to the Nations League ranking where Norway is behind Israel and Switzerland, but ahead of Romania.
Should Israel beat Romania on Saturday night, it will remain open in Group I of the European Championship Qualifiers between Switzerland (who have 16 points), Romania (who have 16 points) and Israel (who have 12 points) for both. directs the EC place of the group.
So that didn’t happen.
Therefore, this European Championship will also take place without Norway.
Norway meets Scotland on Sunday in the European Championship qualifying group, but this is of little importance for Norway, who have no chance of reaching the European Championship through qualifying.
