Chelsea striker Tore Andre Flo feels like he is in 'another world' when he plays for Norway.

'It's like another game altogether,' he said. 'It's like having to replace one way of thinking with another.'

Norway's direct style relies heavily on the ball being propelled from one end of the pitch to the other without any frills. Steffen Iversen's headed winner against Spain, in their opening Group C game, was a perfect example of the team's game plan.

After goalkeeper Thomas Myhre's long clearance, the ball bounced once before being headed into the net by Iversen.

'A typical Norway goal,' said Flo, with a chuckle. 'We would never score like that at Chelsea. But with Norway, that is the kind of move that we actually practise in training.

'Personally, I prefer more involvement with more play, like at Chelsea, but the most important thing is to get a good result. Our style works well for the Norway team and I'm happy to be part of it, even if it is very different.'

Flo said he had been disappointed with his own contribution to the victory over Spain but laughed off suggestions that his place was under threat from experienced forward Kjetil Rekdal.

'That is an old discussion and it is going to be the coach's decision,' he said.

Spain striker Raul Gonzalez yesterday committed himself to Real Madrid for another five years - at a staggering £4million a year.

Midfielder Gerard Lopez said Raul would not be affected by the huge sum. 'He's absolutely centred on Euro 2000 and he wants to show Spain can do a lot better.'

Sweden are blaming their Euro 2000 nightmare on poor refereeing.

Thursday's 0-0 draw with Turkey means they are likely to head home after the group stage and Arsenal's Fredrik Ljungberg said: 'We had a clear penalty which the referee did not see. The teams are very equal so you can't have these errors.'
