The thing that stopped England this time around was Kane's inability to shoot between the goal posts.

The nation, not the players. British media somehow seems to think that England "surely will and deserve to be up there", but time and again reality hits them when yet another cup is over and England has traveled home a week or two before the final.

Euros sure was close to a miracle. Be real, England/british is systematically arrogant. Hyping up everything with a UK-passport (and English) and playing in EPL, and talking down any equally great player who are not English. Or imagine a English player doing rather well, but are sadly not doing it in EPL are totally ignored...

They are a few good players that are being hyped into insanity because of their passport (Kane is a great example of that). Just as any similarly good player are discredited because they are not british, playing in EPL.
It's also interesting that the expectation (that you put forward) for such a team is semi-finals in a World Cup. It was a wonder (esp. with Southgate) that they got to the last EC-final. A semi (in WC) for England is possible but surely not where they realistically is going to be.

If there is one team I can guarantee(-ish) will not win, that is England. Always hot in, thinking they are the best, but their inflated egos never get them anywhere. When that is said, England for sure has some great young talent coming up.

Well, what you are saying is absolutely correct.
To try to go deeper into the matter (only speculations). A great part of Norwegians own their own house/apartment and most of their loans have a “free flowing interest”, so when the Norwegian bank puts up the interest it quickly affects the private economy. Combine this with the extreme rise in the price of electricity (10-12 times up) and the long “tradition” of using electricity for heating to a greater extent than other countries. These two factors contribute to a quick and greatly weakened buying power in the Norwegian population.
Are my speculation onto something plausible?

Well, that means you need to do something to properly show the numbers, add a new colour further up? Tweek the grading? Both?

I can only speculate, but I sure helps Norway that they at the moment is one of the greatest profiteers of the Russian invasion war into Ukraine. They are taking over a lot of the oil and gas sales that previously came from Russia. They are also exporting a lot of electricity to continental Europe (and UK?).
This is not directly the answer

I'm not sure green is the best colour to show recession. Maybe go towards a blue?

The phone don’t connect to the towers on the ground, but are linked through a hub at the plane which (here I’m a bit fuzzy about the tech, but) cost a loooot to traffic data and calls through.
