U.S. beats Norway, 5-0

Twellman scores hat trick in shutout of Norway

Taylor Twellman obviously is pleased the United States is headed for this summer’s World Cup in Germany. He just hopes he’s asked along.Twellman made a statement for being included on the final U.S. squad, scoring three goals Sunday in a 5-0 rout of Norway in an international friendly match.

“Germany is my goal now. The team is there. However, Taylor Twellman is not,” Twellman said after scoring on a left-footed drive and a pair of powerful headers.

It was a good win, the U.S. absolutely dominated,  but it’s important to note that this was not Norway’s first string. It was basically a U-23 team, good exposure for them (Norway isn’t going to the World Cup), and a good tune-up for the U.S. But the result doesn’t reflect the strength of a competitive European team.
