'If Katja Nyberg scores on the free-throw, then I will walk to Århus'. Quote speaker for Norwegian TV 2, Harald Bredeli.

Unfortunately for Bredeli, but fortunately for Norway, Nyberg's free-throw went into the goal thanks to a fumbling Hungarian goalkeeper and after the match a lot of reporters and photographers gathered around Bredeli to learn if he would live up to his promise.

'I don't know in which direction I can find the ferry but I will just have to feel my way, said the speaker afterwards. However, he had received a few pointers as to how he could get there. Furthermore, the injured Norwegian star player, Kjersti Grini, offered him a pair of running shoes.

But he should probably start walking now because even if he does go by ferry, it is a walk of 118 kilometres. However, in true American manner Bredeli has an excuse ready.

'In my opinion it was an own goal and I would only walk if Katja scored,' the speaker argues with a slight grin on his face.
