Does anyone know where I can watch the "Yes we can" episodes with the DFB Frauen? I know that the episodes "Rocky Mountains" and "Lachsspringen" are on YouTube, but there were a lot mor on the Website of Sportschau, but it doesn't work anymore. Or is it just my Computer where it doesnt' work?

2007 / 2016

After Silvia Neid, modt of the staring eleven retired. Our usual defensive with captain Saskia Bartusiak and Annike Krahn. Melanie Behringer a great midfilder. Simone Lauderhr and Anja Mittag were not called up from Steffi Jones anymore. Wtf. I don't agree with four players MVT called up. Especially not with Marina Hegering. Why not Caro Simon. She is better than her.

That Germany defense is really sketchy. I don't watch a ton of german football but they are definitely not anywhere near the team of the Neid era

Asking around trying to find the old PSG video where Tobin and Annike Krahn hug. Do you happen to have?

I have no idea. Maybe @softbroskobin or @shirleycruz can help you, sorry!

Asisat Oshoala’s Barcelona champions league dream crashed by Wolfsburg

Match in brief

Fridolina Rolfö's goal sent Wolfsburg into their fifth UEFA Women's Champions League final after an encounter where 2019 runners-up Barcelona had more than their share of chances.

Barcelona impressed in the opening exchanges and Friederike Abt had to be alert to tip over a potential own goal, but as the first half wore on Wolfsburg's counter-attacks started to show bite and both teams came close several times either side of interval. Just before the hour Wolfsburg struck, Svenja Huth's cross causing havoc and Ewa Pajor's overhead kick falling to Rolfö to lash in. Barcelona had several chances to level but the two-time winners will go for the title here on Sunday.

Expert view: Annike Krahn, 2009 winner with Duisburg

Wolfsburg were a tad fortunate to win in the end. In a close-fought encounter, Barcelona had the better chances and played really well overall. Wolfsburg never really imposed themselves but made it count when it mattered to win and ultimately that's enough to take them into the final. Credit to Barcelona for a great performance, though they'll be kicking themselves at those missed opportunities. Congratulations to Wolfsburg but they're going to have to up their game in the final.

Reaction

Fridolina Rolfö, Wolfsburg goalscorer: "It feels amazing, we're really happy with the result and to have made it to the final. We were talking at half-time about the need to keep calm, keep the ball, not get too stressed and try to score a goal. It says a lot about the club that everybody wants to win and has a strong winning mentality, even if we didn't play our best today. We were a little bit lucky but I'm so proud that we did it."

Alexia Putellas, Barcelona captain: "It hurts a lot. We did absolutely everything we could except score. In these games, at this level, things are defined by the fine margins. Tonight has not been our night even though we've had good chances. It's very disappointing. We passed up a great chance to get to the final. I think we're on the right track but we are not there yet. The ceiling just gets higher but comparatively we are progressing."

Line-ups

Wolfsburg: Abt; Doorsoun-Khajeh, Hendrich, Bloodworth, Wedemeyer; Huth, Engen, Popp (Oberdorf 85), Rolfö (Wolter 68); Harder, Pajor (Bremer 77)

Barcelona: Paños; Torrejón, Pereira, Mapi León, Ouahabi (Martens 86); Hermoso, Hamraoui (Losada 86), Alexia (Guijarro 77); Graham Hansen, Oshoala (Bonmati 65), Mariona

What's next?

The final is at 20:00 CET on Sunday here in San Sebastián with Paris Saint-Germain facing Lyon on Wednesday for the other place.

The German Women’s National Football Team won their first and only Olympic Gold medal.

England are favourites for Wembley clash 

[ad_1]

“England are the favourites” is not a phrase you expect a German legend to use before a game between the sides, but Annike Krahn thinks her team could be in trouble. 

Krahn, who is flying over for the sell-out game at Wembley, is part of a new generation of retired female players itching to make the changes she thinks German football needs. As a recent graduate of Uefa’s Executive Master…

Lars and Sven Bender with Annike Krahn at the Fussball Museum | 13.10.2016

[rockthistowninsideout]

Hearing the news of three exceptional players + the coach retiring from the German women’s national team made me a little sentimental. This is the generation of players that escorted me through my own football “career” (which ended three years ago beecause of an injury). Anlongsside with Nadine Angerer, who retired last year, they helped me gain confidence when people only smirked at girls playing fooball. They change people’s perception on women’s football with their success. I am very grateful for that. Nadine Angerer is still my idol (though she was the keeper and I played defence). It just feels so final now. Like I had hope to play ever again but now it is truely impossible.

What... Germany... what...?

So many retirements... O.o

(At least they know when to step down and “pass the torch” to younger players though.)

Annike Krahn retweeting PSG makes me miss her more.
