In several matches, the goalkeeper in Norway has laid down and played injured to get a tactical pause, says Sundhage.

I have seen it in several matches and have a problem with it, says Sundhage to NRK and continues:

I am tired of the goalkeeper laying down. It is a tactical stop. I think it is stupid, I was raised with fair play.

Norway's coach Gemma Grainger does not take the criticism to heart and confirms that it is intentional.

All teams in the world do it. I do not think it is that cynical that the coach wants to talk to their players.

Cecilie Fiskerstrand, goalkeeper in Norway, does not see any problem with the move either.

Top-level sports are cynical. We must do everything we can to win.

Switzerland will face Norway on Wednesday evening at 21.00.
