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.
