I thought Silvia Neid was not going to be coaching the German team this year? What happened, when does the switch happen?
01' 0-0 Sauerbrunn awkward bicycle out of own box -- only to box top. Brian tries to settle -- too dainty, gets overrun by a red wall. Sauerbrunn hoofs to center circle.

Find your seats! 04' 0-0 Engen dodges 1, but caught by Mittag's two-footed lunge-tackle. Engen pops up, straddles Mittag, gets piggy-backed.

And that's why press isn't a constant starter, she has a hard time dribbling with her head up and misses open players.
07' 0-0 Germany left throw-in to(ward) Kerschowski, USA deflects it over. 07' 0-0 Germany left ck, over mouth and glances off Marozsán, skitters to 1m 6-right.

Fizzle, USA collect in the back. Engen takes over Johnston's longball role -- perfect flight drops at 22m box right for Press bending past Kemme!

Krieger wrests it away from Mittag(?). Backpass to Solo ...
That was terrible from Press after Morgan gave her a fantastic ball in. Even more egregious than being in on goal the previous time and cutting back instead of just shooting or passing. Cripes.
15' 0-0 USA gk(?), Kemme heads forward to Mittag(?)'s chest, Germany ping. 16' 0-0 USA steal, find Morgan wide-open at 25m wide right. Quick flick through box top right hits Press lost behind the coverage, alone to 8m mid-right. Again Press cuts back to the left foot, clangs it away, no shot -- clangs it toward Schult at 5m, chases and flicks into Schult's chest. Morgan collects at 5m wide right, square pass to Press at 3m mid-right. Again stuffed. Press struggling with the footwork ...
18' 0-0 USA fk at circle left, Klingenberg sails it to box top center. S.Mewis facing away, flick back-header pops up to 8m 1/3 right. Schult plucks it away before Press can backpedal to it. 19' 0-0 Maier right throw-in at arc top, back to -- who's behind Maier on the right?

Sharp ground pass to Popp(?), backpass sets up Kemme continuing her run to ~8m mid-left. Hard right instep shot, wide left into side pipework as Solo dove.
No one really seems to be proving why they should be the starter of the newcomers (to the starting lineup). They all look pretty shaky.

Bleh. 29' 0-1 Krieger tries a forward pass, intercepted by Popp. Quick tap to #17 Kerschowski at circle top mid-left, quick right outstep flick to #11 Anja Mittag at 30m mid-left. Mittag drifts rightward to 22m arc left, into a pocket of 4 defenders -- but everybody's playing lanes, nobody actually stops ball. Mittag blasts right instep low, curls perfectly just inside left post, past Solo's dive. 31' 0-1 Lloyd steals off a foot at own arc top mid-right, counters to midfield wide right. Pass up wide right too far for Morgan.
31' 0-1 Blässe overlaps past Klingenberg (or her absence) down box right to 3m, powers a cross to 4m right post. Bit of confusion, Engen hop-volleys over before Solo comes out that far. 33' 0-1 Germany ping around at midfield ... 33' 0-1 Behringer cheeky backheel to box top left, Klingenberg steals.

I cant get over that section of beach on the camera side...I thought I saw a crab walking across the last time the ball came thru
