I'm getting old for this 
. Remember when Umeå IK was on fire? It's crazy how much things have changed. Scandinavian clubs just can't compete with these big European teams no more. I mean, Vålerenga made it to the group stage but didn't last long... what a bummer 
. I get it, Norway's football economy is smaller and all that, but still gotta believe we got some of the best female players in the world coming outta there 
. We need more investment in facilities and academy programs to develop these girls into top-notch players. That way, maybe we can see more Norwegian teams competing with the big boys in Europe

. They need more investment & better infrastructure 
. We saw it last season when Vålerenga didn't qualify 4 the Champions League knockouts 
. Thats not surprising given Norway's small football economy 
. Maybe they can try joining forces with their male teams or focus on grassroots development like Häcken is doin 
. I think Denmark is onto somethin w/ Nils Nielsen's approach, givin players funding 2 develop first 
. Scandinavian women's footy may never be the powerhouse it once was 
, but its still super important 4 player development & future growth
