Germany vs France Preview
Germany (4-0) and France (3-0-1) collide for a spot in the Women’s Euro championship soccer game to face England.
France finally broke through after numerous close opportunities to beat defending champion Netherlands 1-0 on July 23 in the quarterfinals. Eve Perisset scored the game winner on a penalty kick to oust the champions in extra time.
Cool as ice, @eveperisset 🥶
“All the players performed their roles and we saw how well that worked,” France head coach Corinne Diacre said via Reuters. “We would like to have scored earlier but we were up against an incredible Dutch goalkeeper.”
Germany dominated Austria in their quarterfinal match 2-0 on July 21. The Germans took a 1-0 lead on Lina Magull’s goal, and Alexandra Popp made it 2-0 when she blocked Austria’s goalkeeper for a surprise score.
Alex Popp certainly seals the win for Germany with her fourth goal in four consecutive matches😤
“We expected them to be very strong we just weren’t courageous enough to do what we wanted to do,” Germany head coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg said via Reuters. “We had to play more balls behind their backline but it is something we can look at and learn from. They pressed a little differently than in previous games, so it was good we could get a 1-0 as it gave us a bit more security for the rest of the match.”
Germany once dominated the Euros with a 22-year title reign from 1995 to 2017, but that all ended in the 2017 tournament with a quarterfinal loss. An upstart France squad stands in the way of the Germans hopes of a return to the title game for the first time since 2013.
“France are very strong opponents who have deservedly reached the semi-final,” Germany midfielder Lena Lattwein said via The Guardian’s Sarah Rendell.
“They have incredible individual quality and a lot of pace in attack,” Lattwein added. “But when it comes to defence, especially how they deal with losing the ball, there will be spaces and opportunities for us. I’m looking forward to an even contest.”
Germany notably hasn’t allowed a goal in the tournament. The Germans have outscored opponents 11-0 thus far.
France has been tough defensively and in goal, too, with three goals allowed in four matches. The French outscored opponents 9-3 in three wins and a draw during the tournament.
Against Germany, France will play shorthanded without Marie-Antoinette Katoto due to an ACL tear. Germany won’t have Klara Buhl due to a positive COVID-19 test.
