Who said footballers can’t be funny?

Hot on the heels of the genuinely outstanding Office-style video that Southampton used to launch their new home kit, the Norwegian national women’s team have continued the trend of actually funny football skits.

Trine Ronning states “We’re shit. We suck, plain and simple,” with mock resignation, whilst Emilie Haavi pretends to be flummoxed by the offside rule.

Cathrine Dekkerhus, described as the ‘hottest female soccer player’, talks about her struggles with teammates constantly falling in love with her.

It’s brilliantly done and definitely worth a gander…
