German Fraulein National Team 2020 & beyond

cept for that horror ladden CB combo, really cool lineup, now lets hope Ireland don't park the bus & play some real soccer(ps anybody now an direct streamed link?)

 

So my trusty soccerway got Sydney Lohmann as an FB. Personally think she’ll play further up & form 3 CB’s in the back, either Hendrich & Leupolz be in the middle to keep an eye on Hegering & Oberdorf

 

Huth’s drive gets the PK/Magull scores with it GER 1-0

 

YEAH Wassmuth scores her 1st goal for NT! 2-0

 

Hegering can’t defend—what else is new! Gives up an PK. Germany 2-1 at halftime

looks like my hola(which gets me past the geo block) wised up & demanding money to continue. So hence, I’ll have to catch the 2nd half on replay

 

full game replay,I'll need to watch 2nd half still to give full review

 

The last 3 NT coaches prior to MVT never picked Hegering, she was all ready 28 years old when she got her 1st cap in MVT’s debut. The intro info her was that she was a close friend of MVT

go replay the events prior to the PK, she made two mistakes; the Irish #14 gets it long balled to her, Hegering tried to tackle but falls. Thankfully the balls going to the far side which gives Hegering enough time to get up & race over to the runner that the #14 is cross kicking too, but inevitably fouls.
Later in the 85th minute, an Irish lass in close quarters gets around Hegering with an cross kick that finds its mark(but the shot is mlssed). Either way, close quarters or open space, Hegering proved she can’t defend.
Shame that Germany’s got to give up an goal vs a team that’s not ranked in the top 30. So as you mentioned, maybe she is NT’s current #1 CB, but I can’t see Germany winning another major tournament unless they resolve their defensive issues.

 

19 year old German NT youth player Ivana Fuso has decided to switch over & play for the Brazil senior NT. I remember her as a pretty good mid in the 2018 u17 WC, but haven’t seen her play since as she’s just an benchwarmer on Man U’s current squad.
So probably would of been tough to make the German NT, but at her age their would of been boundless room to grow....

 

I haven't seen enough of her to determine if she's an solid prospect for the German NT(right now they go very very deep). She's been selected on Brazil's SBC squad, only if she gets playing time will she be offically capped & ineligible for the German senior squad(my understanding of the rules).
Brazil's(where she was born) is an good choice; their a shoo in to make the Olympics everytime around(whereas GE's failed to qualify 2 of the 3 last times). They'll probably play in more games/tourneys(as now there's talk about even scraping the WC qualifiers for Europe due to Covid). Brazil doesn't go deep(they still start their 43 year old, Formiga)

why didn't they wait till after the upcoming Dutch & Belgium's games? This way it of given her an more incentive to win them/win them bigly

 

it’s hard enough to just get 3 teams together due to the complications of covid, just take a look at the German team;

due to travel restrictions from coming from England; Leupolz, Berger & Leo Maier can’t make the squad. It’s ok for Marozsan & Dabritz to make it from northern French clubs, but Germany’s got an travel ban from southern France as Petermann(Montpellier) didn’t make the squad.

Holland doesn’t have the same restrictions as Germany does as apparently their English based super players; Miedema, Roord & van de Donk are going the make it vs the Germans, though played in Venlo, Netherlands

PS and now I’ve just read that Norway will probably cancel their Tournament of France appearance(take it due to their own restrictive travel rules)

 

time to check out the game of Germany's opponent's in the 3 nations tournement

 

so with both Magull & Leupolz out, who’s going to fill the open mid spot? Lohmann, Oberdorf, Dallmann or bring back Popp so we can have an more natural fwd at the #9?(maybe Schuller or Freigang)

Dutch/Belgium was a run n gun game, resulting with Belgium’s defense getting shot full of holes, loosing 6-1.

Now will MVT try to run up the score as well?(so to go into the Dutch game with an goal difference lead). I really doubt it; she’ll prefer experimenting with new players. Plus her tactics of sort of determined, build up instead of quick/direct soccer, will probably not get the goal tally desired(since her style uses up a lot of the clock). But then, you never know since Belgium’s defense liked pretty shitty. Got the feeling too that Belgium will just park the bus after their disaster with the Dutch
