European Championship semi-finals: Germany - France -:- (-:-), 9 p.m

Update from July 27, 8:20 p.m .:

The start of the semifinals is getting closer.

In the German team there is only one change compared to the quarter-finals against Austria, the corona-positive Klara Bühl will be replaced by Jule brand.

In comparison, there is no change in the starting XI for the French women.

With attacker Katoto, an important player with a cruciate ligament rupture has been out since the preliminary round match against Belgium.

DFB women start with 19-year-old Brand - Popp in the center, Schüller on the bench

Update from July 27, 7:55 p.m .:

Just over an hour until the second semi-final of the European Women's Championship in England.

The hosts secured their first ticket to the final at Wembley with a furious 4-0 win over Sweden on Tuesday night.

Now the second decision is pending when Germany takes on France.

The lineups of both teams are now here.

In the German team there is a change on the offensive in view of Klara Bühl's corona infection.

For Bühl, somewhat surprisingly, Jule Brand starts on the left wing for Lea Schüller, so the 19-year-old is in the starting eleven for the first time at the European Championships.

Svenja Huth storms on the right, in the middle is the German goalscorer Alexandra Popp.

Update from July 27, 7:23 p.m .:

The German women’s national team seems to be armed after the last few appearances.

With France, the players want to defeat one of the best nations in the world and thus advance to the final.

The Germans have to watch out for striker Onema Grace Geyoro, who scored three goals in the group stage.

Above all, France are unpredictable, with six players scoring nine goals so far.

There was also an own goal in the 1-0 quarter-final win of the Équipe Tricolore over the Netherlands.

DFB women on the right track: national coach Voss-Tecklenburg should extend after the European Championship

Update from July 27, 6.45 p.m .:

In just over two hours, the DFB women are facing the most important game in a long time.

At 9 p.m. they will meet the French national team in the semi-finals of the European Championship.

Germany showed discipline and coolness by winning four games without conceding a goal.

Probably due to the last appearances there were reports before the game about a contract extension with national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg, according to reports she could extend to 2027 after the current tournament.

But the 54-year-old now wants to tackle the difficult task against France.

First report from July 27th:

Milton Keynes - Almost a hundred kilometers northwest of the final in London, the German women's national team will meet the French team in today's semifinals at 9 p.m.

On Tuesday, the hosts from England defeated Sweden with a clear 4:0, on Wednesday evening the second opponent in the final will be played.

DFB women without Klara Bühl against France: striker Alexandra Popp will probably start

With 11:0 goals from the previous four European Championship games, the German team can go into the semi-finals with a lot of self-confidence.

The only flaw is the absence of Klara Bühl due to the corona, but the DFB women brought a lot of offensive quality to England.

So hopes will rest on the experienced Wolfsburg attacker Alexandra Popp.

"I think Alex Popp's performance at this tournament speaks for itself," said national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg.

The recovered striker Lea Schüller from FC Bayern and Jule Brand could also be options in attack.

Voss-Tecklenburg particularly praised Bundesliga top scorer Schüller.

"She's fantastic in training," said the national coach to the 24-year-old.

It is unlikely that 19-year-old Brand from Wolfsburg will play from the start, given her previous appearances.

Voss-Tecklenburg will need their most well-rehearsed offensive on Wednesday evening.

Germany facing a tough task in the semi-finals: France also unbeaten

On the way to Wembley, however, the German women have to pass the strong French women.

In the group stage they already won the group before the Belgians after two matchdays.

The 1-1 draw against Iceland on matchday three shouldn't deceive, after all, the French team is currently number three in the FIFA world rankings, while Germany is fifth.

The star ensemble, which is adorned with numerous players from Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Lyon, defeated the holders with the Netherlands in the quarter-finals and will leave no stone unturned against Germany.
