Rauch hits a free kick from the right half-field high into the sixteen of the French women. Popp gets to the ball before Renard, but her header still doesn’t find its way towards goal.

The ball rolls! Who will advance to the final of the European Women’s Soccer Championship?

As expected, Martina Voss-Tecklenburg only changes once and replaces Klara Bühl with Jule Brand. France, on the other hand, is unchanged compared to the quarter-final appearance.

Just like the German game, the French are lightning fast in their offensive actions. Particular attention should therefore be paid to the switching and wing play. Giulia Gwinn and Felicitas Rauch, who are often willing and willing to play up front, will in all likelihood also be challenged more defensively today. In addition, the 1.87 meter tall defender Wendie Renard naturally emits a great goal threat in standard situations.

On the other hand, France is a team that has been unbeaten for a whopping 25 games. In the quarter-finals last Saturday, despite the better chances to score, they finally prevailed conceivably 1-0 after extra time against the Dutch women. The decision was made by penalty. A total of two days less regeneration and 30 minutes more playing time put “Les Bleues” in their bones – an advantage for the DFB team? In any case, Voss-Tecklenburg didn’t want to know anything about it in the run-up to the game and pointed out that France was in the rhythm of the game.

One can also be curious today about the tactical guidelines from national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg. While the Danes were pushed hard at the start, they acted more cautiously against Spain. Against “mentality monster” Austria, they held up extremely well physically for the last 90 minutes. In short: Germany has already mastered various challenges at the European Championship. What still runs like a red thread through the tournament is the effectiveness in attack. Hopefully, this will not be weakened too much today because of Klara Bühl’s failure after her positive Covid 19 test.

Two games left until the title! The German national team is finally back at the top of a big tournament and inspires the nation with goal-oriented attacking football and an extremely disciplined defense. Expressed in numbers, that means 11:0 goals after four games so far. The DFB women are going into this semi-final with a correspondingly broad chest and want to do the same as the English, who have already been determined as opponents in the final at the venerable Wembley Stadium.

Good evening and welcome to the German women’s semifinals at the European Football Championship in England. Martina Voss-Tecklenburg’s team would like to make it into the final against France today and thus win a medal at a World or European Championship for the first time since 2013. The ball starts rolling at 9 p.m.!
