Bente Nordby. Goalkeeper coach.

One is a 22-year-old who had spent the spring in Norway's third tier. The other won the World Cup, the European Championship and Olympic gold. Between them lies almost the entire distance that a football life can travel. On 21 June in Bergen, they helped produce the most beautiful 0-0 in the world.
