in slow motion you could see that the english player had first touched the ball and then our player, Wolter, kicked her. So not a penalty. Anyway, our goalie thought the same it seems and wanted to give it back to England with a monumental blooper Overall a very entertaining match and a win at Wembley is always special and it was overall also deserved. btw: Our new women's Bundestrainer Christian Wück has continued the tradition that every new coach of the women's team has won his/her first match and this time it was even against a heavyweight in women's football....and a little revenge for the lost Euro 2022 final at the same place
I thought our midfield looked very strong and really bossed England throughout the game, and that despite the woman machine, Lena Oberdorf, still out injured. Dallmann, Senß, Nüsken, Minge, Brand and Bühl all played very well, and although I rate all of them quite highly, I didn't expect them to control their supposedly world-class opponents so well. Of course Gwinn did quite well too, getting 2 goals as a right-back. Sarai Linder is also a very good left back, which I already knew, and she did quite well too. Like Dirk, I didn't expect Germany to score so many without Schüller, or Popp upfront. Promising start by Christian Wück, and I rate him quite highly after his titles won with the DFB junior boys.
England's defence / defending is a bit of a mess at the moment. They didn't have a great night v Germany but you can partially put that down to the quality of the opposition. They've probably conceded just as many chances tonight, particularly this second half, and looked really vulnerable at times. South Africa had never scored in international football prior to tonight but have caused England a lot of problems and made history by scoring.
Men and women playing at the same time. Both 1-0 down having conceded from a corner. What a football club! Edit* like the men, we came back to win against the claret and blue
Good goal by Jess Park but ****ing hell the goalkeepers are woeful, we need keep this winning run and we are gonna have to get something vs Chelsea.
