Ireland’s best scoring chance in a 0-0 tie with Norway was John Sheridan’s second-half attempt to, at full run, chip a shot over the head of Norway goalie Erik Thorstvedt. And Sheridan almost did it.
“Sheridan’s chip shot was like watching something in slow motion,” Charlton said. “It floated and floated. John said he thought he made it, but then the wind seemed to catch it.”
The ball settled softly into the net--but on top of the goal.
