Answer:
One is good and the other is evil! Isn't it obvious??!?
Just in case.........

My dear friend, you TOTALLY miss the point. I wasn't just talking about the goal that Flo scored. I was talking about the whole tactical plan of the Norwegians, who knew NOTHING except MONOTONOUSLY swinging long passes upfield.

Please make no mistake: I am not denigrating long passes, which are very effective in splitting defences sometimes. Every team, including Brazil (remember Dunga's long pass to Cafu resulting in the second goal against Scotland?), employs them. But unlike Norway, these other teams are far more sophisticated in tactic and multi-faceted in attacks. Long passes are but one weapon among many in their arsenal.

More countries than Norway are using the longball tactics in a very effective way. Remember, it's the combination of longballs and good passes that creates goalchances. Norway haven't lost in the last 16 games, why should they play like Brazil when their system works?

And did Brazil play better than Norway yesterday? No.

First, I do agree that Brazil didn't play a good game against Norway. But neither was Norway better than Brazil. Norway just won thanks to a controversial late penalty.

Having said that, I am not aware any respectable football power playing one-dimensional attacks as Norway. Not even its second-rated neighbours such as Denmark and Sweden. Their tactic is simply outdated and wanting in high level football. If they ever want to advance beyond group stage next time around without the help of luck, they better improve upon themselves. They simply can't rely upon their opponents being caught napping towards the end every time.
