ARNHEM, Netherlands, June 21 (Reuters) - Norway coach Nils Johan Semb said his team were extremely disappointed after missing out on the Euro 2000 quarter-finals when Spain scored twice in injury time to beat Yugoslavia 4-3.

"The team are extremely disappointed. They thought they were in the quarters and in a few minutes they were out. It's a bad night," he said.

Norway drew 0-0 with Slovenia and thought the one point meant they had reached the last eight because Yugoslavia were leading Spain 3-2 at the time in group C. But Spain came back.

"I was on the pitch and I saw a Spanish journalist on the press tribune was celebrating and then I understood it was over," Semb said.

NORWAY ; Isn't it maddening that this style actually wins matches? Spectators are not the only ones dozing off; clearly Spanish players were lured into siesta time as well. Spanish goalie Molina must have hit the snooze alarm because he came very groggily to the edge of the penalty area in search of some kind of contact with the game and lost out to the leaping Iversen. As fans have frequently yelled:" he should have stayed in bed". Get used to it, there is more to come. Two games at least, unthinkably three even! It is enough to make you study up real fast on becoming a fan of Slovenia. (Seamus Malin, www.fuxito.com)
