I have heard that it's one who have made a Canadian flagg but a insted of the leaf would it be a Vsk mark. The one who has made it see it likes a honour to him....

I thinking of buy one real when I can afford it...

I hope we see a picture of it one day. If you want to register on the forum and send me a personal message, I could probably send you a canadian flag...take care!

A fan at St-Gallen (Swi) made a green and white Canadian flag for Daniel Imhoff.

Yup, home opener today. Norrköping, relegated from Allsvenskan last year, are one of the favourites to win the league for a straight return to the dizzy heights of top flight football. They started out by losing at home, so I'm pretty sure they will be looking for blood tonight.

There's been quite some turmoil in the club since the game last Saturday, mainly between supporters and the directors of the club. Our new manager takes charge today, let's hope he will have a good start to his career in VSK.

Our thin squad is already showing, we have one forward doubtful and one midfielder suspended. This means we will have a total of two forwards (on the pitch) and zero midfielders (on the bench). The solution for now is to play our regular right-back as a central midfielder...

Hope for a good game and a clear 3-0 victory for us.

still 0-0...allez les verts!

1-0 VSK on a goal by Patric Feltendahl...

Antti Sumiala just scored for Norkopping...
1-1 the score.

[François]

1-1
After leading for most of the game, it must be a disapointing result.
We'll have a game report soon from our friend in Sweden.

Ahh, I suppose that must be me then...

Nah, not really disappointed, I think it was a fair result. Norrköping did certainly not impress me, they looked as a team without any real idea behind their play.

First half was not very good, VSK lacked agression and looked as if they had too much respect for Norrköping. Each side had one shot at goal during this half so you can imagine the excitement...
Second half and at least VSK:s open play improved, a lot more fighting and what seemed a sudden realisation that Norrköping is actually beatable. Our goal came from a corner, their keeper managed to palm the ball into his own crossbar. The ball then dropped straight down to roughly four VSK players with open goal, but I think Feltendahl was the last man to touch it before it went in.

Sadly, VSK started to pull back after our goal which more or less invited Norrköping back into the game and they started to put some pressure on us. Of course the inevitable happened and Norrköping equalised after some sloppy defending from us. As I said, all in all, I think 1-1 was quite fair, it's just a shame that we find it so hard to defend a 1-0 lead.

Braz was one of the best players in VSK, together with his centre-back companion Feltendahl. Pictures from the game here: http://www.vskfotboll.nu/index.php?fot=nyh&newsno=378
I forgot to add that if you have RealPlayer, you can see some moving pictures at http://svt.se/svt/road/Classic/departme ... 97&a=77330, click the Realplayer icon.
Adding some more links, there is an interview with Adam here: http://www.svenskafans.com/fotboll/vsk/ ... p?id=12284 Unfortunately it is in swedish, but as swedish is becoming the next world language, now is a good time to start learning...

No game until monday the 28th when we meet Forward away. This game might be cancelled though, due to a massive strike that affects ground staff.

Yes of course!
