Hedging your bet
This article from the Norway Post actually begins, "ManU striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who is back after missing nearly three seaons to injury says he may play for Norway in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, if Norway qualifies." The first quote is "There might be a chance I will still be around for the next World Cup," he said.
Norway has only qualified for three World Cups, the last being in 1998. On their first successful bid in 1938, they lost their only game in the final competition to the future world champions Italy, pushing them all the way to a 2-1 victory in extra time. The Norwegians had to wait another 56 years for their second crack at the title.
Most likely, Solskjaer will be watching the World Cup from his sofa.
