Ich spiele immer noch leidenschaftlich gerne Fußball. Aber jeder Sportler sollte wissen, wann
der richtige Moment ist, die Karriere zu beenden. Und dieser Moment ist jetzt gekommen. Ich bin
froh, dass ich die Entscheidung bewusst und gut überlegt getroffen habe und nicht aus der Emotion
nach der WM heraus.

A jubilant Wambach celebrates her goal as the US live to finally win
Even the most cursory of followers would not have failed to be gripped by the epic unfolding
yesterday. As the end of extra time approached the USA was in mortal danger of failing to advance
past the quarterfinals for the first time leaving Brazil with their first taste of victory in the
World Cup over their rivals.

In the final game of the group stages, Germany beat France by four goals to two. It was the best
showing of the German women's national team to date.
Coach Sylvia Neid had changed the starting line-up at four positions. As expected, Birgit Prinz
was benched in favour [read more]

The Germans who had huffed and puffed their way against Canada and Nigeria finally showed their
class in the much anticipated final group encounter against Les Bleus. Sylvia Nied opted to open
with Ilka Grings and Fatmire Bajmaraj. It was Kristin Garefrekes who got them on the frontfoot with
her header with Grings following suit to put Germany two up.
The best player in women's soccer history shows up against Norway. Her contribution; two goals
and an assist. This World Cup is turning out to be a no show for Birgit Prinz and Abby Wambach but
Homare Sawa against Mexico and Marta's statement today clearly show we should not write these big
names off too early.
The first day of the 2011 Women's World Cup is in the books with all four Group A nations making
their first appearances. Four goals were tallied today in front of almost 100,000 fans in two of
Germany's premier stadiums. France took on Nigeria for a 1-0 win at Sinsheim in the early match and
Germany edged by with the 2-1 victory against Canada in Berlin.
Marie Laure- Delie has 22 goals in 21 matches
The opening match of the 2011 Women's World Cup between Group A contestants France and Nigeria
just ended with Les Bleus emerging 1-0 victors. The winning goal was scored by in form striker
Marie-Laure Delie in the 56th minute. The women's team have already gotten off to a better start
than their male counterparts in South Africa.
Ballbeherrschung? Ballgefühl? Für den ein oder anderen männlichen Fussballer ist das ein
Fremdwort. Ganz anders bei den Frauen, die zeigen kurz vor der WM ganz locker, dass sie nicht nur
den Fussball beherrschen, sondern eigentlich jeden Ball. Hauptsache er ist rund... Quelle: Youtube

The United States women's national team kicks off its World Cup campaign on Tuesday in hopes of
securing its first World Cup championship since 1999.
The U.S. women have never finished worse than third in any of the five Women's World Cups, but
after the standard that was set by the teams of the past, it figures to be win or bust yet again
for coach Pia Sundhage and her squad.
It's now less than two weeks until the 2011 Women's World Cup starts in Germany, and over the
next couple of weeks or so we'll be taking the time to bring you a quick run-down of all of the
teams that are taking part in this year's competition. FIFA had considered increasing the number of
teams entering this year's tournament to twenty-four, and then to twenty.
Germany are the overwhelming Women's World Cup favorites for two very distinct reasons:
i. They're better than everybody else two-time defending champs.
ii. They're better than everybody else and hosting the tournament.
But they've also launched a couple of campaigns one formal, the other less so in order to drum
up interest.
But, yay Müller!

NUREMBERG, Germany Barbie dolls modelled on German national women's soccer coach Silvia Neid (L)
and German national Birgit Prinz and a Barbie foosball table are presented on the occasion of the
50th birthday of toy company Mattel at the Toy Fair in Nuremberg, Germany.
U.S. Women's National Team head coach Pia Sundhage finished third in the voting for FIFA World
Coach of the Year for Women's Football, and two U.S. players finished in the two 10 with Abby
Wambach coming in fifth and Hope Solo eighth. Not bad for the USA.
The USA was the only country besides Germany to have two players in the top 10.
The amazing Marta won her fifth consecutive FIFA player of the year award Monday, ahead of
Germany's Fatmire Bajramaj and Birgit Prinz.
Hosted at the Zurich Kongresshaus, the evening's FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala raised the curtain on the
new decade in style. Attracting the cream of the soccer world, who had come to pay tribute to the
leading players and coaches of 2010, the event reached its long-awaited climax with the award of
the inaugural FIFA Ballon d'Or, a fusion of the FIFA World Player of the Year award and France
Football magazine's Ballon d'Or.
