German Fraulein National Team 2020 & beyond

7 minutes added

 

Didn't know a match without Lohmann can make me so nervous! 5 minutes

 

Corner Spain. Save by Berger

 

4 minutes. Another corner for Spain

 

short break. Time will added on. 2 minutes

 

Doorsoun for Gwinn. We need Gwinn for extra time

 

Gwinn looks so different without makeup on.

 

1 minute

 

Well at least it wasn't Doorsoun or Rauch's fault for once...

 

Penalty Spain

 

Berger saves!!!!!!!!!!!! Lohmann wins the Bronze medal!!!!!!!!

 

Ridiculous that it was even a penalty in the first place

but Berger’s been incredible. I never rated Frohms that high anyways, Berger for me always being the superior player

otheriwse, like Batfink’s said, this German team hasn’t been playing anywhere close to their potential at all

 

so happy for Germany and our girls! well deserved.

 

The ball wasn't even properly set on the penalty spot in the first place.

 

Berger saves a last minute PK, Germany win Bronze... the days of terrorism football are finally over....

 

Was Lohmann actually playing for Spain?

 

You did it Horst, you did it !!!

The team really made it to Paris and won the bronze. Great fighting spirit.
What a penalty save from Berger.

 

I hope players can visit Paris now.

 

Why? Because Spain missed the penalty? Lohmann at least shot the penalty in a way that no goalkeeper could save it.

 

The medal ceremony is in Paris, so they made it to Paris

 

Who committed the foul again that led to the penalty for Spain?

 

Minge I think? ^^

 

Thanks to the various awful tactical decisions coming from the coaches, Germany wouldn't score a single goal in normal play during the knockout phase of this tournament, making Berger's contributions Vs Canada, and now Spain, the most MVP like elements of this teams Bronze medal success in France.

Plus seeing Popp, Hegering, Hendrich, all grouped together at by themselves hugging and crying, to me would also hint at this game probably being the end of them having any further role on the future of this team.

So... again, within the context of the general poor standard of Germany's football, knowing the quality of opponent Minge - Nüsken were trying to compete with, having the attack constantly held hostage to whatever Brand does... while not a great series of performance to watch, this was as good as we could have expected from this team.

Oh, and it's nice to see Germany maintain their unbeaten record Vs a currently superior Spain at senior level. As I genuinely expect these two nations be facing each other again deep into more major tournaments, with Germany thankfully still showing no signs of an inferiority complex.

 

A tournament holding no real importance towards Germany's future, Hrubesch leaves the wnt with another 3rd place finish at an Olympic games, and now we FINALLY get to see what Künzer fought for; this being the full introduction of Wück.

Wück alongside Meinert seen at numerous games live, I'll be very interested to see who stays and who departs the squad Hrubesch has consistently selected in his 2nd run with the team.

But if I was throwing out some random thoughts... I'd say we could be about to see as much as much as 6 Olympic team members removed, or have significantly diminished roles with the new coaches...

And what's strange about that... I don't think it means we'll being seeing a significantly younger element enter the team as replacements...
