The Norway national football team lost 0-2 to Germany in the World Cup qualifier on Friday. Head coach Gemma Grainger was unhappy with the referee's decision to disallow Signe Gaupset's goal just before halftime. Grainger is calling for VAR to avoid such mistakes in the future. Norway had several chances, but were ineffective in front of goal. Germany scored two goals in the first half and won 0-2 in the end. Norway must now go through the playoffs to reach the World Cup in Brazil next summer. Head coach Gemma Grainger is proud of the team's performance, but is not happy about losing. Norway will face a team from the C division in the first round of the playoffs. The playoffs will be drawn on June 18. Norway was missing several key players, including captain Ada Hegerberg, Frida Maanum, and Tuva Hansen. The latter has suffered a cruciate ligament injury and will be out for a long time. Germany was the better team and won deservedly. Norway will conclude the World Cup qualifying campaign at Ullevaal against Austria on Tuesday.
