Women’s World Cup: Germany is out! The DFB players in the individual review

It is the surprise and at the same time the disappointment of the tournament! The DFB women were also eliminated in a World Cup preliminary round for the first time. Germany couldn’t shake off the uncertainty against South Korea either. Again, the DFB-Elf showed too many small mistakes, lost duels and bad passes. The first quarter of an hour was a disaster again, only then was something like a concept recognizable – with high balls into the penalty area. But the uncertainties in the German game could never be shaken off. Every pass and every acceptance of the ball was fraught with uncertainties.

Once again, an opponent who is clearly inferior on paper is playing on an equal footing with a co-favorite – with a lot of courage and passion, South Korea pushes a disastrous German team to their limits and surprisingly kicks them out of the tournament.

The German players in the individual review

Tor: Merle Frohms

Right at the beginning, fended off a chance on the post in the 3. th minute. At 0:1 she had no chance, maybe could have shortened the angle. In the second half, uncertainty almost led to 1:2. Note: 5

Defense: Svenja Huth

She had a lot of insecurities in defense again. But she was able to hit some good crosses offensively – including Popp to make it 1-1. Nevertheless, it is part of a German defense problem that was mainly caused by the many injuries. Note: 5

Defense: Kathrin Hendrich

A stop in the penalty area could have given South Korea a penalty, but the whistle didn’t sound. Hendrich was always unsure and she didn’t come out with the 0:1. In the second half, too, she made a lot of small mistakes. Note: 6

Defense: Marina Hegering

The gaps in the goal were much too big. In the attempted offside trap, she did not have the defensive chain under control! Otherwise she was one of the better DFB players in the first half. She was the only one who didn’t make you feel insecure. Note: 4

Defense: Chantal Hagel

Unnecessary ball losses, constantly uncertain, bad passes and many small mistakes. That was nothing! Note: 6

Mittelfeld: Lena Oberdorf

Tried to gain security in the German game in the uncertain first half with diagonal balls instead of simply passing. There was also a weak scene in the penalty area when a good attack went nowhere (25′). Oberdorf also miscalculated again and again and lost too many duels. Note: 5

Midfield: Sara Däbritz

In her 100th cap, she had a few good one-on-ones. But still lost too many duels. Although she was one of the more committed Germans, hardly anything came of it. Note: 5

midfield : Christmas Fire

Dedicated but unhappy again, she didn’t really find her way into the game. She also had many unnecessary bad passes and uncertainties when accepting. It was one of their worst games. Note: 6

midfield : Alexandra Popp

Immediately snappy and with body language after the 0:1. But otherwise could hardly set accents and struggled with the situation. At 1:1, however, she acted inimitable and she was also there at 2:1, which was not scored. She had a few more good chances in the second half. Note: 3

midfield : Klara Buehl

Bühl has to make more of her chances in the 11th and 15th minutes of the game. She played actively on the left, but also made minor mistakes and bad passes in her game. Note: 5

Storm: Lea Schüller

Not really in the game at the beginning and not a factor in the first half. When it was 1-1, she tied two defenders and helped prepare the German goal. In the second half she became more active, but remained without danger. Note: 4

Midfield: Lena Lattwein (substituted on in the 64th)

Came for Däbritz and immediately showed commitment. But she didn’t cut a good figure either with uncertainties and mistakes. Note: 5

Midfield: Sydney Lohmann (subbed on in the 64th)

Subbed in for Bühl. She brought in a good cross to Popp in the 73rd but, like the rest of the team, was plagued with minor technical errors. In the final phase, she threw everything in again with a few long-range shots. Note: 4

Sturm: Nicole Anyomi (subbed on in the 84th)

Showed commitment via links, but an evaluation is not possible.
