LYON, France -- The forwards on the United States women's national team have gotten much of the attention during the run to the Olympic gold medal game, but Naomi Girma -- the ever-present force in the heart of the team's defense -- might be the team's most important player.
Without Girma's steady demeanor and always-on-time tackling in the past two knockout games, the Americans almost surely wouldn't have been in position to pull off their pair of dramatic victories.
