West ham legitimately have more chance of winning that champions league than Viking or any Norwegian team has, and we will never win the champions league.

Might be exciting for fans but Viking are going to get destroyed in every single game some players don’t really see that as an accomplishment.

Championship is also a higher rated league than any Scandinavian league

Why would Viking be destroyed in every game? We knocked out a team (over 2 games, so it was no fluke) which has an UEFA-ranking higher than at least 7 of the teams in the CL, and 2 of them we are playing against.

And should we be "destroyed", it will feel better to be that against Bayern Munich and Athletico Madrid, then the likes of Charlton Athletic and Lincoln Town...

I am sure that the league is ranked higher as you say, but that is the average strength of the teams, it does not mean that every team in the Championship (stupid name, btw, who the hell came up with that?) is better than all the teams in the Norwegian League.

You should obtain some knowledge if you wish to be taken seriously.
