Updated Thursday July 13, 2000, 10:01 PM GMT Tore Andre Flo
Another game without scoring against Spain, but Flo remains integral to the system Norway employs so successfully. Had Norway's best chance against Yugoslavia but it was well saved. Has to take some of the blame for Norway's lack of firepower during Euro 2000. Like his usual strike partner Solskjaer, Flo has gained a reputation as a super sub in club football over the years, despite consistently finishing as Chelsea's leading goalscorer. Tall and leggy, he provides the perfect foil for the Manchester United player and has chipped in with some significant goals himself - not least against Brazil at France '98, after which he was dubbed 'Flonaldo' by the Norway fans. He is currently being touted at £15m by Chelsea but, after scoring five goals in qualifying, he could put millions on that valuation with a successful tournament. Scored three goals in two games against Brazil -- 4-2 and 2-1 wins for Norway -- and was a star of the 1998 World Cup. One of a Flo dynasty, his brother Jostein and cousin Havard have also played for Norway.
