International career
[edit]In August 2006 Charmaine Hooper and Christine Latham refused to attend two exhibition games against China and fell into dispute with team coach Even Pellerud. Nonen joined Hooper and Latham in publicly calling for Pellerud's removal. Pellerud had pressured them to break their club contracts in order to join Vancouver Whitecaps and had tried to fix the outcome of a USL W-League play-off by releasing certain national team players but not others. Pellerud was abusive towards players and forced players to play through significant injuries or risk losing their funding.[4] The players boycotted the 2007 World Cup and demanded fair and safe conditions for themselves and their teammates."[5]
