Points shared, but danger remains
Your Rosenborg side drew 2–2 with Bodø/Glimt at Lerkendal on Friday, taking a point but heading into the World Cup break still in the relegation zone (1) (2). 15th place with 9 points from 11 games, that's the reality. A point against the team chasing Viking at the top is not nothing, but the league table doesn't lie. The break could have been a chance to breathe, but instead it feels like the club is drifting at the worst possible time (3).
Knutsen fuming after the draw
Bodø/Glimt manager Kjetil Knutsen didn't hold back after the final whistle. "Helt ufattelig," was his reaction, meaning "completely unbelievable", aimed at a result that slows his side's pursuit of leaders Viking in the title race (2). That frustration tells its own story: Rosenborg made life uncomfortable for a team that expected to win. Small consolation perhaps, but it shows there's still fight in this squad.
The World Cup break: reset or wasted chance?
A commentary in Adresseavisen has asked the blunt question fans are already thinking: is Rosenborg using this World Cup pause to reset, or simply going dormant? (3) The club has been waiting on confirmation of whether the striker will be selected for the World Cup, a player reportedly thinking about it multiple times a day. Meanwhile, rivals Bodø/Glimt will lose three key players to the tournament. That gap could matter when the league resumes, but only if Rosenborg use the break wisely. Right now, the concern is that the club is letting the weeks slip by.
