2000 Olympic Pictures
The United States National Team went into the 2000 Sydney Olympics looking to come back home with their second gold medal. They came close but earned a silver medal in an overtime loss to rivals Norway. The team was down 2-1 in stoppage time when Tiffeny Milbrett put the ball in the back of the net to tie the game up. In over time the ball was served into the US penalty area, and played off the shoulder of a player and eventually found the back of the net. Although team captian, Julie Foudy appealed to the ref for a hand ball the goal was allowed, and the Americans walked away with a hard earned silver medal. Congratulations.
