Germany Women's coach Silvia Neid is expecting a "hotly contested match" against the USA in the semi-final of the Women’s World Cup, to be played early on Wednesday morning (01:00 CEST). Neid declared the contest between the two highest-ranked teams in the world as a "prestigious" match. "I know the USA want to be number one in the world. We’re going to try and show that we also want to stay there," said Neid in the final press conference before the game in Montreal.
The players have recharged their batteries after an energy-sapping shootout victory over France in the quarterfinals. "We can hardly wait for the game. We’re ready for it and we hope that the day passes by quickly," said Alexandra Popp. "We know we need to be 100% focused, because this time it really is now or never."
