i watched the game on msnbc, it showed it at the beach...anyways, the goals were poor decisions by the U.S. and norway just took advantage. the US did not look sharp and began to play very direct and forcing things to happen instead of playing possession and moving the ball and creating things. norway was very good, they settled into the game and created counters and locked down defensively. hopefully the US will rebound and begin to play better the rest of the olympics, they have new zealand and japan left and they should win those games.
