    China's all about soaking pressure:

    In 3 matches 47 attempts were made against them (15 on target) and yet they concede only 1 goal. :cautious:

    DM Wang Yan (no.13) is worh to keep an eye on.

    Also, looks like today they didn't want to win at all, to avoid USA. :giggle:

    Did China even have a shot attempt in the game? I'd say this was Mourinho like but even Mourinho's teams will attack the opponents goal.

    China didn't want to run the risk that a random shot could go in: a win would have meant to meet USA (so probably game over). ;) Their celebrations after the game made it clear that a draw was exactly what they were aiming at.

    Wish we would have scored an early goal. It would be interesting to see what China would have done

    if you search more on this 'non pirate' website, you'll find extended highlights of all the games.

    I'm a big fan of Germany, but this coach(MVT) has left all my favorite players out of the loop. In this one(vs SA that hasn't won a game in their last 16 tries), MVT could of brought in her bench players, but kept the near same lineup in all 3 matches , though with the slower pace, they didn't seem to really have much of a work out(thus probably remaining fresh for the next game)/
    Since it doesn't seem like the avergae poster hasn't taken a shine to the #2 team in the world, I think their going to go under the radar & perhaps all the way to the finals(helps with the weaker playoff schedule) & their doing it against the grain with thei more deliberate style instead of the more popular transition game. Kind of reminds me of those 1980's GER men's teams that were universally panned, most of the time out played, yet creeped into both of that decade's finals

    i've enjoyed over the last fives years the Bundesliga game of the week, my favorites from them were Linda Dallmanm, JoJo Elsig, Kathryn Hendrich & Lea Schuller, but along with another poster @Thomsen fav, lil Leo(Maier) are on the team but out of favor with MVT as they had none to limted playing time(so far)

    Well yeah she is because Lahm was my favourite player and she reminded me of him in her best days... although she’s still got time to improve her game again
    And now she conveniently looks like the sister of Kimmich somehow who’s continued the legacy of Lahm in Bayern and making his own :whistling:
