Of course, there is a lot of rotation in friendlies against outsiders. Only Sara Doorsoun was in the starting eleven in the last friendly against Brazil.

With a lot of luck, Vietnam was able to qualify for the upcoming World Cup. At the Women’s Asian Cup 2022, they only survived the group stage because India dropped out in the parallel group and the Vietnamese were able to move up. This allowed them to take part in the World Cup playoffs, where they defeated Thailand and Taiwan. Knowing this, the Southeast Asians logically enter the tournament as outsiders, but they are at least 32nd in the world rankings. In contrast to the male national team, the women are significantly more successful in football.

The German national team only has two friendlies left to warm up for the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. Earlier in the year, the DFB team played against Sweden, the Netherlands and Brazil. There was only one win, but the opponents were among the elite of world football. Finally, two comparatively small football nations travel to Germany. Victories can be expected against Vietnam and later against Zambia. However, small stumbling blocks could also hide behind it.
