"Football is a simple game: 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and in the end the Germans win." So far, this iconic quote from England football legend Gary Lineker (61) has also come true in women's football. Because of the 27 meetings between the DFB women and the Three Lionesses so far, the German national team has won 21 games, the English women have only won twice and the comparison ended in a draw four times. However, the English won the last time this year, beating Germany 3-1 in the Arnold Cup at the end of February. This is how football fans can see whether record European champions Germany can hold their own in the final of the European Championship on Sunday.
The European Championship final at Wembley Stadium in London kicks off at 6 p.m. on Sunday. The first shows the game live on free TV, Bernd Schmelzer (57) takes a seat in the announcer's booth. The sports show also offers a free live stream, which, like the preliminary reporting in the first, goes on the air from 5:05 p.m. Claus Lufen (55) will moderate the supporting program together with Nia Künzer (42), who has played 34 times.
Alternatively, customers of the sports streaming service DAZN have the option of following the EM final in the DAZN live stream. Pre-reporting goes on the air here from 5:40 p.m. Jan Platte and 16-time national player Turid Knaak (31) comment on the final here.
Both Germany and England have won every game on their way to the final, with two players in particular standing out: both Alexandra Popp (31) for Germany and Beth Mead (27) for England have scored six times in their first five games and equalized thus the previous European Championship record from Inka Grings (43) from 2009.
However, claiming this record should not be a priority, as the "pop star" of the German team said before the game: "If three others shoot us to the European Championship title, I'll be happy too ." And Mead also said about the possible EM goal record: "I'm not focused on that. I'm happier about being in the final and when we win as a team."
