Some players get down after watching their team concede a goal.
United States midfielder Julie Foudy got mad. A minute after Norway scored in the 11th minute, Foudy came back to tie the match at 1. The games with Norway are always such physical battles, but our defense did a great job and we were really solid in the air. We had more chances to score, we had better chances, and I think we deserved to win. But the U.S. back line of Brandi Chastain , Carla Overbeck , Kate Sobrero and Joy Fawcett held tight, with some valuable help from Michelle Akers , who won numerous balls in the midfield, both in the air and on the ground.
