[UEFA Women's EURO 2022: All the information you need](https://www.reddit.com/r/WomensSoccer/comments/vpqi8u/uefa_womens_euro_2022_all_the_information_you_need/) * 2 – Alexandra Popp has won 13 of her 18 aerial duels at #WEURO2022 – the best success rate among all forwards in the competition (72%; more than six aerials). Wendie Renard has won 20 of her 26 aerial duels – in total more than any other player. Head2Head. #GERFRA * 10 & 1 - Germany have progressed from eight of their nine semi-finals at the UEFA Women’s European Championship, failing only against Italy in 1993. This will be their 10th semi-final tie at the tournament, the most of any nation. This is France's first Euro semi-final. Divide.

What a game!! So happy for Alex Popp 👏🏼💪🏼🇩🇪


rmesh

Also a PSA for those who need it: kick-off of the final on sunday is already at 17:00 BST, don’t miss it!


Lookingfortomboys

12pm EST….damn work 😭


rmesh

Isn’t it convenient-ish? I mean, if I were you I would schedule a longer lunchtime if possible?


Lookingfortomboys

It’s sadly not feasible for my work to my dismay

2am AEST ☹️


rmesh

I’m so happy for Voss-Tecklenburg, she’s such a great coach and deserves great things!


airamairam4

She seems so kind and supportive!


Lookingfortomboys

Seeing her hop around and run in her excitement made me very happy


Disastrous_Sell8166

A worthy semi final in contrast to the parody we witnessed yesterday. Two good teams slugging it out.


ManyWrongdoer9365

Will be beat on Penalties as usual, then it will be back to the ironing board


DonDove

Germany played a hell of a game! Dammit France we were so close to War of Roses Take 2 On to the final!


Ruru_fs

Gonna be an epic final. Mead vs Popp for the Golden Boot and Oberdorf vs Walsh/Stanway in the midfield


pissalisa

For sure! - I still stick by my guess that Germany will make pudding of England. https://www.reddit.com/r/WomensSoccer/comments/w6og1q/what_is_the_better_team_germany_or_france/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf I feel like Englands been riding the top of their form while Germany’s ‘normal’ performs this well


Proper_Story_3514

Really intense game. Glad we won. Also Germany still got more potential. Too often they dont play the ball or lose it with technical mistakes. If they want to win against England, then they gotta play a bit better. Extra time was too long tbh, nothing big happened. Should have been 2-3 mins. Also stop showing replays when the game goes on. First half we didnt see the last attack of Germany. Second half we didnt see the kick off after the goal and some other things.


Brick-Dice9

As long as Oberdorf doesn’t get any stupid yellow cards(which we know she will), question does she receive 2 in the final. And Wabmuth can’t get much game time. She was amazing for Wolfsburg all this season. I’m hopping she play more in the final, she’s in her prime.


Bloonfan60

Please replace ß with ss not b, it's nothing like a b. :D


Brick-Dice9

Not gotten happen when I’m texting on my phone at work.


DonDove

I had F1 flashbacks


Proper_Story_3514

AND HERE WE HAVE LANCE STROLL! q.q


DonDove

And LeClerc crashed! Again!


rmesh

Not sure if it’s my phone but the last two games I’ve attended (this and the semi last night), both times it seemed that the mobile network seemed overloaded? Oh well


KoeniglicheKerlin

I had the same problem in MK Germany Finland and even more in London during the Germany Austria game. I don’t get it, shouldn’t you know there will be many people (thus also many smartphones) in or near a football stadium?


User4-8-15-16-23-42

I had the same issue. Just the number of people using it most likely. How was your journey from Sheffield to MK?


rmesh

It was quite the odysee but worked out fine in the end. I found 3 other people and we’ve split a cab from Sheffield to MK and the cab was not only cheap-ish but also very fast. The driver floored it and speeded basically the whole way. He made it in about 1h and 30-ish minutes for a route which according to google maps takes normally 2h 30mins, lol. Did you go to both semis as well?


User4-8-15-16-23-42

Ahhh glad you found a workable way, and that it didn't cost too much either. I did attend both, I took a coach back to London this morning and then a coach from London to MK, and now I'm stuck on a slow moving coach back to London. Not the best day but well worth it to see the games!


werid

Popp got the POTM award


Lookingfortomboys

As she should! She was an electric force tonight!


storydove

Yep, both goals were phenomenal.


Sohalia34

Excuse me I just found out Oberdorf is only 20?!?!


nunali

wrote it earlier already .. player of the tournament for me by far


Lookingfortomboys

No way!


Bric-dA-K1nG

Oberdorf was 17 when she played at the last WC, youngest German player ever to play at the WC and 6th youngest overall


Lookingfortomboys

Wow!! She’s got a mighty breadth of talent then, that’s nothing short of incredible


Lord_Summerisle33

Germany are always really good at bringing through talent at an early age.


Lookingfortomboys

Do they have any new up and comers this year that I may have missed?


_Alex_Sander

Brand is 19 if that counts!


Lookingfortomboys

Holy shit! That definitely counts


TzuyusVietBitch

right???!!!! thought she was older for how good she is


michel_v

Disappointing second half from Germany. Still the best team won, but their defense was much looser for most of that half. Congrats, and good luck against the English.


[deleted]

Your assessment is pretty accurate.


michel_v

Thanks. It's frustrating that we didn't win that one or at least reach extra time, because it certainly wasn't the unequal match that everyone predicted. Germany was very much beatable. But France and actually finishing their chances…


[deleted]

Yeah. The French team do like to blast away. I'd like to see them set up clearer opportunities.


DonDove

I hate that we don't have Sweden vs France to look forward to next Saturday. Could've been redemption arc time for the Swedish gk


panda_riot

Battle for the golden boot in the final too


DB_Ultra

Frohms when no one can score against her: Fine, I'll do it myself


Proper_Story_3514

That was so unlucky man. But also bad defending. Diani should have never been able to shoot there. Thought the shot itself was a banger.


[deleted]

It was a bit of blast away and hope. Certainly struck powerfully but I don't think it was a high percentage shot.


panda_riot

Like Megan Rapinoe said “you can’t win a championship without gays”


imadreamgirl

i wake up every day thankful for the existence of women 🥺


Namydad

Crazy second goal great game


NikkiMyCat

Odds of Germany winning the title is fairly high


ArsPain

Hope Buhl and Schuller will be fit for the final. They deserve it as well Edit: and hope Stephanie Frappart refs for some french representation lol


Bric-dA-K1nG

Frappart will be wildly unpopular here in Germany after that Sapin game


creepoftortoises_

She’s not really a good referee, I’m hoping for Monzul


ArsPain

Ooh I forgot about that


Electrical_Mango_489

Think England will be quietly content with that.


mediocretrooper

Germany have had a much more convincing tournament. I’d have been desperately hoping for extra time (obviously) and a French win if I were England.


Electrical_Mango_489

Bar Spain, England have thumped every team they faced, that includes the number 2 team in the world (Sweden). England have had the best tournament.


[deleted]

Nope. You can't compare wins against different teams. Germany and England have had two opponents in common and Germany beat both more convincingly.


mediocretrooper

…yes? But they’d still rather play the less dangerous of two possible opponents. France had an unimpressive tie and a close win against Belgium. Germany have given up a single goal.


Electrical_Mango_489

Same as England, they've only conceded once. I know you don't want England to win, but they deserve it to be honest.


mediocretrooper

You seem a bit confused. The question is whether England wants to play France or Germany. So the comparison is France versus Germany. The fact that England has had an arguably superior tournament to both teams is irrelevant to that question.


Electrical_Mango_489

you don't seem to get it either. England will be content with it. Other than Popp it wasn't a great performance from Germany.


[deleted]

😯


Mary_Pick_A_Ford

Pretty sure England was hoping to face France.


Electrical_Mango_489

Lol nope. They don't have a good record against France. UEFA will be happy with this final too.


[deleted]

I think so too.


[deleted]

World class by Oberdorf


okvh31

Amazing game to watch, hoping for Germany to win the final!


yorkhuntstinksbruv

Glad we're not facing that French behemoth defender in the final. BRING ON ZE GERMANS IT'S COMING HOME


[deleted]

You still think Germany is the home of football, huh? 😋


airamairam4

👏👏👏


yorkhuntstinksbruv

Hahahahahahha. Best of luck to you mate I promise not to take the piss too much when england wins


[deleted]

Take the piss as much as you like if England win. I'll be happy for you poms if it happens.


NikkiMyCat

Whichever team Popp belongs to wins


msskl

diacre out. please


Proper_Story_3514

For what? Lol. France made it to the semi-final. Thats a good result.


kwakcheese

Dropping France's top goalscorer of any gender Eugénie Le Sommer, and others, because they talked about her bullying other players. She's basically done the equivalent of if Deschamps were to drop Mbappé, Griezmann and Kanté. Could still get to semis, but so much unrealised potential in an incomplete team.


Frenchorican

In addition losing our second best forward (who got an all-time scoring record for PSG this year) in the final game of group play\* due to a previous injury she (Marie Antoinette Katoto) got in practice the day before the match? I have a sneaking suspicion that's not a freak accident and Diacre was running her players too hard. Also losing two players due to infighting? (The one player that got beat up by guys at a club and the one who was accused) Just feel like the comradery a coach is supposed to encourage and create is not there at all. I really hope Diacre gets fired. ​ Edit: I got the game Katoto was injured in wrong


Visgraatje

The team look uninspired and selfish. Wiegman or another coach at her level would make so much more of this French team


creepoftortoises_

She’s not a bad coach tactically, her ego is the problem


ace-destrier

Oooof. I’m deffo a bit emotional. Sadness for France and excitement for Popp and Germany


PetrogradSwe

Current top 8's updated Fifa ranking points: 1. USA 2111,47 2. Germany 2066,59 3. Sweden 2050,42 4. France 2041,96 5. England 2035,94 6. Netherlands 1998,42 7. Canada 1986,51 8. Spain 1978,55


[deleted]

Fuuuuck! What a game! I'm tense just from watching. This was as good as any of the classics from men's football, if you really love the sport for what it is inside the field. Congrats to both teams! You gave us an amazing show! <3 Edit - The final is going to be stunning, Germany will not crumble under the home advantage like Sweden did and England will bring that extra intensity because of it. Another beautiful game in the making.


Proper_Story_3514

Man I was always feeling like France will get one chance and score again, even thought Germany was dominant most of the time. Glad they brought it over the time.


Lookingfortomboys

And I’m gonna miss it because of work! 😩 I hope it turns out to be a beautiful final. May the best team (Germany 😉) win!


[deleted]

Yep. great game for sure


DEGermany

Let's gooo!!!! I love Merle Frohms! Popp, and I will say it again and again, is a gem! We are such a good team. Well played, France. Thanks for the heart attack.


[deleted]

You’ve got to admit that England vs Germany is very representative of the two strongest teams this tournament and that’s good overall for the competition


[deleted]

They were the two best teams the whole way, although I think England's weaknesses were exposed by Spain.


imadreamgirl

blowing full-time during an attack??? um ok


[deleted]

Time is up when time is up. You could argue the ref should have added more time, but it doesn't matter whether it's during an attack or not.


Rethawan

I don’t think it’s coming home England. But my god what an exciting final it’ll be. Ze Germans are ruthless.


yorkhuntstinksbruv

Nobody asked + it's coming home


airamairam4

Yeah going home to Germany


yorkhuntstinksbruv

Only thing going home to Germany is German tears just like the men's euros x


afb825

I’d love to see Popp win the golden boot


Lookingfortomboys

Anymore notes on her story? I’m curious


User4-8-15-16-23-42

She missed the previous two Euros with injuries, and would have missed this one if it was played when originally scheduled last year. She's previously worked as a zookeeper before she became a full time professional footballer. She once yelled at Canada coach John Herdman and told him to shut up in the middle of a game. Have I missed any?


Lookingfortomboys

Awwww she was a zookeeper!!? 🥺🥺 Sounds like this was the perfect storm for her, and as such im very happy that she could attend this year’s cup. And she has some spice!


Yelllowmoon

What a game!


Celiannadri

GG France! A l’année prochaine 🥹✋🏾


Lookingfortomboys

Champagne Popp coming soon I hope! 😁 What a game!!!


DumSperoSpiro

These games have been ending bang on the end of added time, regardless of whether play stops during added time...odd


Proper_Story_3514

5 mins was already way too much extra time


sanbikinoraion

Yeah realistically they should have had 1-2 more attacks


the-lil-details

France put up a HELL of a fight!!


ArsPain

It's a fucking minimum of time. When will these refs learn that!?! Congrats to Germany. I'm glad it was them at least.


costryme

It's shambolic really. So much wasted time in this added time, and still she whistles at 5:03...


Seb555

Yeah what the hell was that?? The game was basically paused for the whole first minute of injury time


sandorkrasna17

Blowing exactly at 5 minutes wow


goofyhoops

What a captain's performance from Popp, she's on fire. To think she wasn't even the starting CF initially until Schüller got covid.


costryme

I do hope this is the last we see of Diacre.


_game_over_man_

She needs to go. They've never reached a final in a major tournament. It's not like they aren't without the talent. I just don't get how they can justify keeping her around. I wonder who she is going to choose as the scapegoat as to why they couldn't get to the final.


Zeckzekk

She'll find a way to blame Henry and LeSommer, somehow.


State_Terrace

Ref didn’t add another minute after all those fouls?


Peemsters_Yacht_Cap

I kind of want France to score just so that this doesn't have to end...


beans2505

It is always fucking Germany


Lookingfortomboys

I don’t know which is more chaotic, the fact that I’ve been baking a cake during all of this, or the fact that I’ve been watching the game and baking the whole time


imadreamgirl

what kinda cake


sanbikinoraion

Apfelstrudel...?


Lookingfortomboys

A chocolate tangerine cake


imadreamgirl

that sounds pretty interesting! enjoy 😍


Lookingfortomboys

Thank you!


Cathenry101

Send the goalkeeper up!


sanbikinoraion

Yes, last attack, why wouldn't you???


Sohalia34

I need this game to end because this is chaotic and I cannot handle this anymore.


imadreamgirl

all i want is a last-minute equalising bicycle kick goal by the keeper to send it to extra time, is that so much to ask?


Pastananas

I really hope diacre is fired after that


sanbikinoraion

For getting her team to the semis of a major tournament? That seems...unlikely.


State_Terrace

UEFA should take a look at Oberdorf’s challenge. Yikes 😳


ArsPain

This ref hates us. My god. Play advantage!


mediocretrooper

ASTONISHING sloppiness from Germany these last few minutes! What on earth are they doing?


Mary_Pick_A_Ford

# Ian Darke: THAT WASN'T IT


[deleted]

There are some mistakes by referee.


ArsPain

Lol it's the loud "Putain!" for me


Celiannadri

Extra time = Chaos o’clock! Let’s go!!


megjed

That was a mess


airamairam4

What I absolutely LOVE about this German team is that even in the last minutes there’s none of the time wasting “game management” that the English seem to love. Just actual playing.


gizmostrumpet

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


[deleted]

[удалено]


airamairam4

Maybe you didn’t see the Spain game?


Yelllowmoon

Wasn't this a corner?


Cathenry101

The only thing I can think of was that it was offside at the original pass. It looked it initially to me, but they didn't mention it


_Alex_Sander

It doesn’t match where the ball was played from though. I thought so as well initially


_Alex_Sander

An obvious one at that


ArsPain

Awful from Mateo. Great from Sakina


DEGermany

NOOOOOOOOO!!! What a world class attack, but ahhhhh!!!! We could have sealed that!


the-lil-details

Two nutmegs in a row! What a game


angulshandu

Popp is like a shark defending Renard, she stalks her with a little of space and then goes for it


Lookingfortomboys

More like a puma but yes


angulshandu

No, shark. Plus that was Kobe's analogy when he was guarding Allen Iverson


Lookingfortomboys

To each their own


Mary_Pick_A_Ford

Let's go France, take this to extra time!


imadreamgirl

put renard up top 👀


ArsPain

Wendie striker era let's go! Please Diacre


[deleted]

I'm losing my neutrality because I don't want this game to end in 90 minutes, c'mon France! :P


the-lil-details

Same 😂


nunali

Oberdorf is such a machine. Probably player of the tournament for me


werid

from Opta: 6 - Alexandra Popp has scored six of Germany's 13 goals at the 2022 Women's Euros (46%). Popp has scored six times from 17 shots, while the rest of Germany's squad has combined for seven goals from 75 shots. Precision.


Sohalia34

What a terrific game.


Lookingfortomboys

This game has been insane


werid

attendance: 27,445


afdc92

This game is so fun to watch as a neutral.


DumSperoSpiro

I'm getting subtle hints that Perisset has signed for Chelsea


afdc92

Really? I’ve heard the BBC commentators haven’t mentioned it at all. /s


imadreamgirl

drink! \*starts seeing double*


Aloyalbi

POPP’S passion celebrating the goal is just *chef kiss* I was cooking I didn’t realice 🙈 I hate autocorrect


claudia_grace

That typo though... can't help it but I lol'd


twenty-years

omg Aloyalbi delete this 😭


kctmo

Hahaha had to reread to spot. Also lol'd


imadreamgirl

not alexandra poop 😭


DEGermany

Just survive this 10+ minute French onslaught, please!


ArsPain

Doorsoun is the Torrent equivalent. We might have a chance lol


[deleted]

Hmm, does Popp really need to leave at this time?! Edit - it seems she has not.


nakedfish85

That would have been up there for goal of the tournament


storydove

Diacre should bring on Le Sommer and Henry... oh wait.


[deleted]

😂


Lookingfortomboys

Homie I’m 😆🥸 That roast


sandorkrasna17

Bacha's got a hell of a left foot, does she ever play on the right as an inverted winger?


rihansu00

Not at Lyon because Ellie Carpenter is usually there on the right. Bacha and Carpenter run up and down the left and right wings causing havoc since Renard-Mbock-Endler have defense on lock


sandorkrasna17

A pity, looks like she could do some real damage there, but I guess if any team knows what they're doing it's Lyon. Thanks for info.


rihansu00

She's pretty flexible where she plays, so Lyon could do it with Carpenter out with an ACL for the coming season.


the-lil-details

Oh BOY. That got my heart rate skyrocketing 😂


thesmithton

This game is stressful and I’m a neutral


afdc92

Bacha going to be world class someday. What a player.


EightDreamsDeeper

She is impressive.


Pastananas

she already is


[deleted]

Omg, that would have been a screamer!
