Germany vs. Sweden | Full Game | Women's Friendly

[@artdogg50]

Much appreciated for posting this game! Didn't think I'd get to see it. A very physical match, probably a prelude for how it'll be now.

[@ritasinkovec1693]

It's largely in the hands of the referee. Weak refs let too many fouls pass. Stronger refs assert their control early on, put down a marker with a few early yellow cards. The latter type is rare which is on FIFA. They write the rule books and lack the expertise to realize why women soccer has become rougher and rougher over the years. Once serious injuries start to occur FIFA may get sued big time, as they should.

Both teams looking very good. Hoping that Spain, England, Sweden and Germany stop the US whatever they are called from a three peat and challenge for the WC.

[@anthonynavarrete2691]

Nope. It looks like the European teams woke up the bear at end of 2022. The USWNT will probably three peat. They have the higher ceiling out of all of the teams

[@anthonynavarrete2691]

Don’t you think it’d be cool to finally see a team win three world cups in a row? Literally no men or women’s team has done it. It’d be such an amazing feat to witness

[@victorugochukwu2455]

Australia are more better

[@ardeliahasibuan]

I hope so

[@ritasinkovec1693]

This is the opinion page so I will opine. Sweden was the better team and had plenty of close calls. Not scoring was more bad luck than great defending by Germany. And Germany's goalie is superb and part of the reason why Sweden could not pull off a win. BUT there was a noticeable difference in the types of the many fouls (and there should have been even more calls): Germany's fouls were mostly the result of clumsy blocking and some pushing. Sweden's were ACTUAL foul play, with deliberate tripping, arm holds, shirt pulls and painful stepping on an opponent's feet or ankles. In other words Sweden played very dirty soccer.

[@quandinh8855]

Hendrich is the best defender in the world.

[@NayemAhmedNabin]

What a match wow 🇩🇪❤️

[@quandinh8855]

I agreed with Alexandra Popp. Popp got the ball and the opponent ran over hard and fell down herself.

The wrestling coach of the Swedish soccer team needs to be congratulated. He did an outstanding job of training the players in the high art of arm- and body blocking. The soccer coach just went along for the ride. Fortunately, the gods guided the team and kept them on the straight and narrow. That is the only explanation for why Sweden had such very bad luck several times. There is a god.

Does Sweden have a soccer team as well? ( whatever sport that is ). I know this Swedish football team won the bronze medal match at the recent football World Championships though.

Swedish anthem plays way too slow, that's why all the girls are laughing.

Thanks for sharing.

[@ritasinkovec1693]

The way those two teams played today, none of them will reach the finals. Being of German extraction myself I must concede, that Germany did not live up to their reputation as a football superpower. They were "good enough" but absolutely not super.

[@k7u5r8t4]

Well, Sweden DID win the bronze medals! But maybe that match was not part of the "finals"?

[@budekins542]

Best female football match of 2023 so far! Brave performance by Sweden against a footballing superpower. .

Somebody tell Jule Brand and co. to play the simple non-complicated passes, instead of forcing it and turning it over!

[@paacer]

Sweden were the better team and should have won .

[@JamesCM86]

This is always Swedens cross to bear. The ‘better’ team but can’t pull off a win

[@artdogg50]

Not sure they were prepared for how physical Germany was going to play. Plus they completely neutralized Sweden's forwards, something I wasn't sure was possible.

[@Ralph_Smith0724]

*Sweden plays better than Germany. Their football style is more USNWS league (National Women's Soccer League). Keep in mind that Sweden's Sofia Jakobsson plays for San Diego Wave in the USA. The only difference is than in the USA league they play fair and square. Fouling is frown upon in the USA league.*

[@Exe_Aiden]

Germany better dawg

[@ritasinkovec1693]

@@Ralph_Smith0724 If Sweden would have played better they would have won. That's what goals and goal counts are for. Nice sentiment about USWNT style to be emulated by foreign teams. What about Sweden learning to play like England or France? There are going 32 teams in NZ/AU. Before you get too comfortable with your idea of football style for all with the US the blueprint, don't forget, Germany can pass the ball and find the goal. 50% of the time. US can't pass and misses the frame 8 out of 10 times. Get real, Ralph.

Frohms is the best goalkeeper in the world

[@hanssinkovec8107]

Frohms kept Sweden from winning. With a lesser goalie Sweden would have won 3:0.

[@k7u5r8t4]

Nobody is "the best" in all games! In the Denmark-Germany Nations League 2-0 game, she did not "look good" at the second goal for Denmark. Just saying.

*Sweden plays better than Germany. These two teams along with England are going to have a hard time with FIFA VAR in the World Cup because they foul too much. They don't play fair and square. I predict a lot of penalties against these teams. In men's W.C. VAR didn't allow any push in the penalty area. The least brush with the rival in the penalty area turned out in a penalty.*

[@elnicedude559]

why do they always put tall kids the size of players with them when they sing the anthem? how about kids aged 6 or 7 ? thats so not nice to see

[@ritasinkovec1693]

You have my vote. But don't stop there. Everyone watching this video must have noticed how calm and restrained the commentator was, a breath of fresh air after those rapid-fire teams of two who get paid by the syllable. But what a shame that the sound engineer totally blanked out the sounds from a very enthusiastic audience and only put the voice of the commentator on the video. The sounds from the crowds add ambiance and atmosphere, and taking that away diminishes the experience of us fans on this site.

[@k7u5r8t4]

@@ritasinkovec1693 Welll, this commentator was obviously a "neutral", meaning not from Sweden or Germany, so that makes it easier to not be emotionally involved. But I do agree, that many go over the top load, when commenting!
