was a great match last night

and YAYYYY GO Germany


Popp what a star, 6 goals in 5 matches this tournament



top quality match, from both sides, Germany were just better allround, all working together as a team in terms of both defence and offence



bringing Magull off, hmmm not sure if i agree with that, but in all fairness Dallmann, Lohmann on were good choices from Martina, to try something different and bring even more creativity

[Nicky91]

was a nailbiter of a match, Frohms first time she was being tested, overall not bad and that 1 french goal, not much she could've done about it, she was at the right corner anyway and just unlucky it came of her back into the goal, but she had to go for that corner because you never know otherwise if you don't do anything



same goes for french goalie, also just two stunning goals from Popp, not exactly she could've done against those as well


France will get to a final i'm sure in some year to come, Renard is also a star, same goes for Kharchaoui, Diani



england got a tough one here, germans who do everything together, forwards who also go helping out in defence wherever necessary



will be a fun final, and no shame if england loses, since germany are an 8 time european champion anyway but hoping for a strong quality final from both sides

Alexandra Popp in footsteps of Michel Platini

https://onefootball.com/en/news/alex...story-35528143

There’s a sense of inevitability about Alexandra Popp.

The Euro 2022 semi-final between Germany and France, which you can follow here, was a tight and tentative affair until the 40th minute.

Svenja Huth’s delicate cross found the on-rushing Popp inside the French box and bang, the German captain’s first-time volley burst into the back of the net to break the deadlock.

It was some goal to score in a game of huge magnitude and in doing so, Popp has equalled and broke records all at the same time.

Germany have set up what looms as an historic and record-breaking women's Euros final against hosts England at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

Tickets to the final at London's Wembley Stadium — with a capacity of 87,200 — are sold out. The stadium is the largest sports venue in the UK and second-largest stadium in Europe.

Anything near a capacity crowd for the final would comfortably beat the highest-ever women's Euros attendance number, which currently sits at 68,871 for the opening game of this tournament between England and Austria at Old Trafford.

The highest-ever attendance for an international women's football match is 90,185, for the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup final between the USA and China.

Attendance and viewing numbers have been at an all-time high for the 2022 edition of the Euros, with that trend continuing in the two semi-finals.

The Lionesses' 4-0 victory over Sweden drew the all-time biggest crowd for a women's Euro semi-final, with 28,624 in attendance at Bramall Lane.

The match also drew a peak audience of 9.3 million across BBC television and streaming services — the biggest audience for the tournament so far.

By comparison, the highest peak TV audience for women's football in the UK is 11.7 million, when England's lost to the United States in the semi-final of the 2019 Women's World Cup.

The semi-final between Germany and France then drew 27,445 spectators at Milton Keynes on Wednesday, the highest number for a women's Euro semi-final not involving the host team.

It continues an overall trend of booming attendance numbers for women's football in Europe this year, with 91,553 and 91,648 attending the Champions League quarter and semi-finals hosted by Barcelona.

This year's Euros tournament is also by far the most well-attended in history, with the previous total of 240,055 spectators broken during the group stages.

90,000 at Wembley: 'To be honest, there's nothing better'
German captain Alex Popp was the hero for her side on Wednesday, after scores were level at 1-1 and both teams missing chances.

She had scored the opening goal for Germany in the 40th minute, but that lead lasted less than five minutes before France equalised. It was the first time Germany had conceded for the tournament.

In the 76th minute, Popp proved the difference again, leaping above the French defence to send a bouncing header into the French goal.

Popp has scored in all five of Germany's games so far — a new record — after missing the last two European Championships in 2013 and 2017 because of injuries.

Popp will now face off against England's Beth Mead with the two players the top scorers for the tournament, with six goals each.

"I can't find any words. We played a crazy game, we threw in everything we had," Popp told German broadcaster ZDF.

"We're now in the final against England in front of 90,000 at Wembley. To be honest, there's nothing better."

A late surge wasn't enough as France fell short of reaching what would have been a first major tournament final and has now lost in the semi-final stage once in each of the World Cup, Olympics and European Championship.

Before the game, Germany's players posed holding the number 19 shirt of winger Klara Bühl, who had started all four previous games but missed the semi-final following a positive test for COVID-19 on Tuesday.

The decider between England and Germany will be the first women's Euros final to be held at Wembley, with the stadium twice holding the men's final, in 1996 and 2021.

With Wembley's capacity of 87,200, the crowd for the final will comfortably break the highest-ever women's Euros attendance

Germany are fast starters apparently and we have started slowly and poorly in most of our games

That’s a major concern ( on a par with all the space Bronze leaves behind when she roams upfield)

Iv been a solid fan right from the start and will be watching

[bots]

I think Germany have run out of gas

[Zizu]

I don’t think they have a much of chance ...

Haven’t Germany won 8 out of the last 9 major international competitions ?

They will surely target Lucy Bronze at RB as she darts forward and inexplicably leaves acres of space behind her .

If Germany don’t take advantage of that then we have a tiny chance
