Good evening. Last night we saw suite in click into gear at their | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
second attempt. Tonight, Germany are looking to do the same. -- we saw | :01:00. | :01:10. | |
:01:10. | :01:29. | ||
Europe. Iceland involved in only their second major tournament in | :01:29. | :01:37. | |
their football history. favourites and the highest -ranked | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
team in the competition. Iceland can celebrate their first ever point at | :01:43. | :01:53. | |
:01:53. | :02:03. | ||
With me tonight is Sue Smith, who made her England debut many mins ago | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
against the lady sitting right next to her on a World Cup winner. You | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
are Germany side was not too impressive against the Dutch the | :02:11. | :02:21. | |
:02:21. | :02:27. | ||
other night. What should they differently? They need to be more | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
focused in their attacking play and they really have to connect much | :02:29. | :02:38. | |
more with the forwards. I am absolutely sure we will see the | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
German sites do well. You were not to sure the other night. What do | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
Iceland need to do to stop them? They have got to take a lot of | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
confidence from Holland. Holland could have one in the last few | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
moments. They have got to try and stop Germany. They have got to try | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
and defend and sit deeper and hit them on the counter. When you play | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
against the better team you cannot always play your own game. You have | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
to slightly adapt. They have got players that can score goals. | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
years ago, you played in the Germany side that beat Germany -- Iceland. | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
What sort of game wasn't that date? It was a really difficult and tough | :03:26. | :03:35. | |
game for us. It took for ever for us to score. We only ended up winning | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
1-0. We should have done better. Germany is going to be prepared. | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
They will probably be really hard to spending, but don't forget they are | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
really hard -- fast attacking. This is what Germany is going to be aware | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
of. They are going to be really well prepared. Earlier, Norway were up | :03:55. | :04:04. | |
against the Dutch team. The commentary comes from Jim Little -- | :04:04. | :04:14. | |
:04:14. | :04:19. | ||
These two sides felt very differently about their openings | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
wrought in the championships, but now is the time for them to impose | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
themselves on the competition. -- the opening draw. It is a dangerous | :04:29. | :04:39. | |
:04:39. | :04:46. | ||
ball there. A great header. Did not cause too many problems. Here is | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
Hansen for Norway. She is a very direct runner. She might go all the | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
way herself. That is one of the dangers Holland have to look out | :05:00. | :05:09. | |
for. The first corner is played in by the captain. It is headed off the | :05:09. | :05:19. | |
line in the and. -- in the end. lot of scrambling going on in the | :05:19. | :05:29. | |
:05:29. | :05:30. | ||
box. A good header there. We have already seen dominate the early | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
stages and not score and then pay the price later on in the game. The | :05:36. | :05:46. | |
:05:46. | :05:48. | ||
Dutch need a goal here. Brave -- great play there. Another overlap by | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
the fullback. The common consensus in this group is that Germany will | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
win it, so this is a very important 45 minutes coming up for both of | :06:01. | :06:11. | |
:06:11. | :06:11. | ||
these nations. Norway started on the attack. The shot is blocked. Almost | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
in slow motion. Norway almost took the lead. In opportunity for Norway. | :06:18. | :06:28. | |
:06:28. | :06:29. | ||
Hansen was off but she managed to poke in the shot. Norway here are | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
clearly keen to get on with it. Right on the edge of the area, but | :06:35. | :06:45. | |
:06:45. | :06:50. | ||
successive game. The Dutch may be lucky not to concede a penalty. The | :06:51. | :07:00. | |
:07:01. | :07:13. | ||
Netherlands are let -- gets to played short. It is a dangerous ball | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
into the area and it comes off the woodwork. A nether great ball by | :07:18. | :07:26. | |
Hansen. -- a nether great ball by Hansen. Norway are the dominant team | :07:26. | :07:36. | |
:07:36. | :07:45. | ||
in the early stages of the second brilliant goal for Norway! -- run | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
forward. She came out of retirement for the European championships, and | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
now it looks a very good decision. Such an important moment for Norway, | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
and it is one of their most experienced players who provides | :08:01. | :08:11. | |
:08:11. | :08:35. | ||
excellent save. A great save by the goalie there. Here is the only goals | :08:35. | :08:45. | |
:08:45. | :08:45. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :08:45. | :09:29. | |
or are so far. -- scorer. She is Netherlands back into the game? -- | :09:29. | :09:39. | |
:09:39. | :09:42. | ||
will be set piece. Block inside the time. Pinball inside the penalty | :09:42. | :09:51. | |
area. Just too high when it mattered. The Netherlands are | :09:51. | :10:01. | |
:10:01. | :10:19. | ||
beginning to launch highballs -- They will face Germany in their | :10:19. | :10:26. | |
final group game. England will be in action tomorrow, and one of the | :10:26. | :10:33. | |
youngsters itching for a chance to shine is Toni Duggan. She has | :10:33. | :10:43. | |
:10:43. | :10:48. | ||
crossed the football divide with the I am the father of Toni Duggan. She | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
is in Everton and England striker. -- she is and Everton and England | :10:54. | :11:04. | |
:11:04. | :11:11. | ||
grandfather has been a major part of it. He has come to home and away | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
games. I visit him and he will always tell me what is going on and | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
on the FA website. He knows more information than I do. He is rate to | :11:21. | :11:28. | |
have around. He is a part of my life. -- he is great to have around. | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
She has always stood out. She has never been bigger or stronger than | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
other girls. For some reason she has always had that little bit of about | :11:36. | :11:43. | |
her. I cannot nail it down. I cannot tell you exactly what it is. I could | :11:43. | :11:52. | |
not tell you where to buy it. It just seems to be there. Lads I work | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
with got sick of me telling everybody how special she is. I | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
think they were all glad when I retired! I would not have been able | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
to go to the centre of excellence games or the child that I did when I | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
was younger. I cannot drive at the time I was young. He took me to this | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
places, and if he did not, I would not have been as successful as I am. | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
I do not see why anybody cannot get all the way to the top. -- why she | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
cannot get all the way to top. She is one of the best players in that | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
position not only in this country but the world. I was a Liverpool fan | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
when I was younger. Playing for them for so long, I get a bit of stick | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
for it, but I cannot help it. It is that kind of club. It draws you in | :12:43. | :12:53. | |
and makes you feel at home. ideal season for me would be for the | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
averaging ladies to win the WSL -- the Everton ladies to win the WSL. I | :12:59. | :13:08. | |
can go happy then. Very proud grandfather. Toni Duggan is full of | :13:08. | :13:15. | |
personality, a real effervescent character. She is an absolutely | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
lovely girl. I am so pleased to have seen her develop. I never really | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
well so it was nice to see her move on to play for England and do so | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
well. Such a lovely character. Always good fun. Always up for a | :13:28. | :13:37. | |
dance. Really, really nice person. I would have been to send. If I had | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
played for Liverpool I do not think my dad would have ever come to watch | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
me. I think at that time, obviously Everton were the big club. | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
Liverpool, probably not that big at that time. It has totally changed. | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
That is why she probably chose Everton. What could she potential he | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
provide for England? She has some -- what can she potentially provide for | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
England? She can play a right-wing or a left-wing. She can play right | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
down the middle. She is quite happy to collect the ball from midfield. | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
She will run at players and she has scored some fantastic balls. -- | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
ball. She will not freeze. She has got the vitality and wants to make a | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
name for herself. She will not be scared in the big game. You would | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
love to see her have a chance. But Germany made the change after not a | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
great first game. Sweden made changes and they put things right. | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
Could you see England making a change to the line-up tomorrow? | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
think they should think about making a change. You do not want to change | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
too much. You should have it in your mind and at least make earlier | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
changes at half-time if things are not going as positively as they | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
should go. Join us tomorrow on BBC Two for live coverage as England | :15:03. | :15:11. | |
take on Russia. Massive game. The programme starts at 430. We are | :15:11. | :15:17. | |
getting closer to kick-off. This is a city where cycling and recycling | :15:17. | :15:27. | |
:15:27. | :15:38. | ||
named the greenest in Europe, and I'm off to meet the local man who | :15:38. | :15:48. | |
:15:48. | :15:58. | ||
has overseen this green revolution, lakes. We have seven lakes in the | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
city centre and we have restored our lakes, so everyone can have walking | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
distance to a fresh lake. In 1995 we took the decision to be the first | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
fossil fuel free city in the world. So wedded to energy come from? | :16:14. | :16:24. | |
are using biomass, we are producing illiteracy -- electricity and coal. | :16:24. | :16:32. | |
Each city -- citizen has two collect the organic waste and then you can | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
fuel with the gas. We build a new cycle path every year and encourage | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
people to use the bike. I must set a good example and drive a biometric, | :16:43. | :16:53. | |
:16:53. | :16:55. | ||
so. Her to you introduce yourself? -- how do you? Sometimes I say I am | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
the proud Maher of the greenest city in Europe! The Beatles inspired me | :17:00. | :17:08. | |
everyday. So did they inspire your mission to go green? In a remain | :17:08. | :17:18. | |
ticked you, of course. Any younger bands? Paul McCartney is still | :17:18. | :17:28. | |
:17:28. | :17:35. | ||
Boris Johnson. He seems to be a nice person, he could do more, he could | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
work for better energy efficiency. He could work for more public | :17:39. | :17:49. | |
:17:49. | :17:50. | ||
transport, more cycle paths and less private cars. So the message is that | :17:50. | :17:58. | |
you, Boris, could do better! pretty impressive city with a brand | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
spanking new stadium which hosted its first match in September last | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
year. Looks like it is filling up nicely ahead of the kick-off between | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
Iceland and Germany, the champions. Iceland celebrated taking their | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
first point as a major tournament when they drew 1-1 with Norway but | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
their players are aware that the European champions are a different | :18:17. | :18:27. | |
:18:27. | :18:37. | ||
the minnows are level! It is cool to hear people say, how can you be this | :18:37. | :18:44. | |
big tournament? You just get proud, it means something to us. We are the | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
smallest nation, we are always underdogs and that is how we perform | :18:47. | :18:54. | |
best. We don't really have pressure on us, we like being underdogs. It | :18:54. | :19:04. | |
:19:04. | :19:09. | ||
I have a lot of friends on the Dutch team and on the Norwegian team and | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
the feeling I get is that everybody is going to be playing for second | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
place, even though you should never say that. But Germany is the | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
different league right now. We will be happy to come out of that game | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
with the point, we will defend a point and build on that. We have a | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
defence that is experienced, we have played together for a while and we | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
know what to expect from them. We are ready. And Iceland can celebrate | :19:38. | :19:45. | |
their first ever point at a major championships! We work for one | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
another. We fight for one another. We don't think about ourselves. On | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
the field, on the bench, in the stands, we work as a team and we | :19:58. | :20:08. | |
:20:08. | :20:10. | ||
work all for one. That is definitely that if anyone is going to school | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
for them it is public going to be Vidarsdottir. She is key to their | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
attack, she is very self-confident, which goes on the pitch she knows | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
exactly what she wants to do. She can score important goals, she | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
scored the penalty the other night. The fact she has got 70 goals in 89 | :20:29. | :20:35. | |
games, that is a fantastic record in any team. So the fact that you do | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
that internationally shows what type of player she is. Germany have a | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
half decent strikers themselves, and the scored 17 goals in seven | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
qualifying matches, in Da Mbabi. Perhaps she wasn't allowed to play | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
by the Dutch the other night? other teams have done their | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
homework. If you have scored so many goals, you are a key player and | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
everyone tries to shut them down. Netherlands did that really well, | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
whenever Da Mbabi was close to the pool, she had two or three players | :21:09. | :21:16. | |
around her. -- close to double. It was a hard game for her but also | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
because of the problem that she didn't get too many balls from the | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
midfield. It was hard for her to get onto walls, and when she had a | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
touch, the Netherlands were there. -- get onto walls. A similar | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
approach from Iceland? I think you have to, I think Da Mbabi is a key | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
player for Germany, if you can stop her you can probably school -- stop | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
the rest of the team. It worked for the Netherlands, so why not when | :21:45. | :21:53. | |
Iceland? Football is enormous in Germany, you have 46,000 people | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
watching a friendly recently, what, interest is there in this match? | :21:58. | :22:05. | |
There will be a big interest tonight. It was on in prime time in | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
Germany the other night, they still had 46,000, it gets boot these bumps | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
thinking about it. The German team will be keen to really show better | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
and make a better performance. the Germans control their nerves | :22:20. | :22:30. | |
:22:30. | :22:37. | ||
this time? Good luck to Iceland that were certainly raised in the opening | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
rounds by the Netherlands 's ability to frustrate the holders and | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
favourites. I have to say they would be raised even higher if the minnows | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
of Iceland could get anything against Germany this evening. Seven | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
times winners, certainly didn't hit the expected heights against the | :22:57. | :23:05. | |
Dutch. You sense they are raring to go this evening. They want to put | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
the proverbial record straight and get off and running in this | :23:07. | :23:17. | |
:23:17. | :23:23. | ||
European Championships. We have already seen Norway go to four | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
points today, they are expecting to join them by the end of tonight. By | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
the end of the night, those Icelandic supporters, dreaming that | :23:31. | :23:41. | |
:23:41. | :23:41. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :23:41. | :27:21. | |
their players can create more clearly focused on creating an | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
upset, and an upset would be taking anything from Germany tonight. They | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
have never managed that in 12 meetings, they have lost all 12 | :27:31. | :27:37. | |
previously. They do make two changes tonight from the team that gained | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
their first ever point at a tournament. Viggosdottir comes into | :27:42. | :27:52. | |
:27:52. | :28:31. | ||
from Finland. An experienced referee. Meeting the German captain, | :28:31. | :28:41. | |
:28:41. | :28:49. | ||
Nadine Angerer. And the Iceland yesterday for Germany. Leupolz comes | :28:49. | :28:59. | |
:28:59. | :29:20. | ||
in, just her fourth cap in place of midfield player, the man who led | :29:20. | :29:26. | |
Iceland to their first point against Norway, trying to upset Silvia Neid | :29:26. | :29:36. | |
:29:36. | :29:54. | ||
It is Germany who get us under way. Most would expect them to do it | :29:54. | :30:00. | |
tonight. I think the Iceland players will be thinking that for most of | :30:00. | :30:04. | |
the games they will have -- game they will have to work hard against | :30:04. | :30:08. | |
the Germans. They will have backs against the wall for a large part of | :30:08. | :30:16. | |
this game. Never say never. Football is a funny game. I think Germany | :30:16. | :30:22. | |
will show a better account of themselves tonight than their coach | :30:22. | :30:27. | |
will be expecting. She was quite vocal yesterday. She wants her | :30:27. | :30:32. | |
players to be more aggressive, more decisive and much more accomplished | :30:32. | :30:35. | |
in their passing. Equally, Iceland will feel that if they can frustrate | :30:35. | :30:42. | |
the Germans in the early part and create a little anxiety... The Dutch | :30:42. | :30:46. | |
are more likely to be a little more creative and expressive. That is | :30:46. | :30:50. | |
what they have been in the past. It could be a hard game for them | :30:50. | :30:57. | |
tonight. If they play a lot of players behind the ball they will | :30:57. | :31:04. | |
need it even more. Germany have six players missing, not only from their | :31:04. | :31:08. | |
squad, but all six he would have been in the starting line-up. That | :31:08. | :31:15. | |
is why some of their younger players are having a chance. -- who would | :31:15. | :31:25. | |
:31:25. | :31:26. | ||
have been. Perhaps some of the younger players will be nervous | :31:26. | :31:29. | |
about the expectation. I remember reading comments that the coach | :31:29. | :31:36. | |
expects the younger players to make some mistakes. That is only natural. | :31:36. | :31:40. | |
I do not think they make a lot of mistakes. I think the Netherlands | :31:40. | :31:50. | |
:31:50. | :31:55. | ||
defended very well against the other team. There were a few one chances. | :31:55. | :32:05. | |
:32:05. | :32:20. | ||
been called into the teenager -- starting line-up this evening. | :32:20. | :32:30. | |
:32:30. | :32:55. | ||
Certainly a few jitters of nerves on was not selected for the World Cup. | :32:55. | :33:05. | |
:33:05. | :33:36. | ||
You think this would be the occasion players are ready to contend with. | :33:36. | :33:39. | |
Very little opportunity against the Netherlands. They did really well to | :33:39. | :33:49. | |
:33:49. | :34:17. | ||
into the Icelandic defence. There she is again. She is giving it away. | :34:17. | :34:27. | |
:34:27. | :35:02. | ||
I'm sure her heart rate is quite the favourite there. Iceland are | :35:02. | :35:05. | |
struggling to get out of their own half at the moment. We know how | :35:05. | :35:15. | |
:35:15. | :35:16. | ||
quick they can break. Even a goal would be an historic event for | :35:16. | :35:26. | |
:35:26. | :35:58. | ||
Iceland tonight. 12 games played, 12 her football in Sweden. Iceland are | :35:58. | :36:02. | |
not up for a great deal of adventure when they are in position. -- | :36:02. | :36:09. | |
possession. They are looking like they want to play out. They want to | :36:09. | :36:14. | |
try for something, to move the bodies up. A credit to them. When | :36:14. | :36:19. | |
they get the ball away in this kind of area, it is going to cause them a | :36:19. | :36:29. | |
:36:29. | :36:53. | ||
lot of problems if they do it all who played against the Netherlands | :36:53. | :37:03. | |
:37:03. | :37:13. | ||
Very freshly marked. Great volley. She knows where the goal is. The | :37:13. | :37:20. | |
keeper safely gathers that one. goals and 19 for the Frankfurt | :37:20. | :37:25. | |
midfielder. Her father is a former Hungarian international in the | :37:25. | :37:35. | |
:37:35. | :37:53. | ||
Iceland are willing to commit players forward when they get to | :37:53. | :38:03. | |
:38:03. | :38:15. | ||
those kinds of areas. I was quite impressed with Lotzen in the earlier | :38:15. | :38:21. | |
game. She got involved a lot, not just on her right side. She went | :38:21. | :38:31. | |
:38:31. | :38:46. | ||
across the pitch trying to make 18 and playing against Germany I | :38:46. | :38:51. | |
would have relished it. You will not get many better tests than playing | :38:51. | :39:00. | |
against forwards of the stature of some of these players in the game. | :39:00. | :39:10. | |
:39:10. | :39:10. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :39:10. | :40:11. | |
The biggest day of her footballing time to get her head up and look at | :40:11. | :40:21. | |
:40:21. | :40:40. | ||
it. The Icelandic midfielder is tonight. I was saying the other | :40:40. | :40:46. | |
night, they have been very successful with it. Nearly on the | :40:46. | :40:54. | |
and of it, UK and the again. -- nearly on the end of it, you can see | :40:54. | :41:00. | |
it again. The Icelandic players and defenders are going to have to look | :41:00. | :41:05. | |
at the ball and concentrate on the ball rather than their feet. There | :41:05. | :41:15. | |
:41:15. | :41:44. | ||
this area here where players need to get out to stop this process coming | :41:44. | :41:52. | |
in. Just looking at the left side of the German site, it is quite young. | :41:52. | :42:02. | |
:42:02. | :42:19. | ||
-- the German team. It is a good girl in the back is quite heavily | :42:19. | :42:29. | |
:42:29. | :42:41. | ||
No, I had to keep it simple. last time that Iceland scored | :42:42. | :42:51. | |
:42:52. | :43:10. | ||
against Germany was eight matches I They are setting up for a long | :43:10. | :43:20. | |
:43:20. | :43:24. | ||
throw. Well defended by Bartusiak. Almost an opportunity, not quite a | :43:24. | :43:31. | |
set piece, but just to get a flicked on, you never know what can happen. | :43:31. | :43:41. | |
:43:41. | :43:59. | ||
They just needed to try and test the fly into the top corner. It could | :43:59. | :44:09. | |
:44:09. | :44:09. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :44:09. | :44:50. | |
give them some hope. They have a challenges but it is hard to score | :44:50. | :44:56. | |
from there. Maybe just keep the position a little bit more. One of | :44:57. | :45:02. | |
the more experienced players in the Iceland team, this is her 84th cap | :45:02. | :45:12. | |
:45:12. | :45:52. | ||
kick. Getting a warning from the Finnish referee. She just lunges in, | :45:52. | :45:58. | |
desperate to try and get the ball back early. They just need to keep | :45:58. | :46:08. | |
:46:08. | :46:30. | ||
their concentration on this set full stretch. For a split second, | :46:30. | :46:37. | |
Germany looked as if they had taken the lead. Was a fantastic header, | :46:37. | :46:44. | |
great set piece. That is the area you want it in. The keeper makes a | :46:44. | :46:54. | |
:46:54. | :47:05. | ||
fantastic save, I thought that was away. Iceland, living dangerously | :47:05. | :47:12. | |
but still surviving. They couldn't get through the bodies there. A lot | :47:12. | :47:22. | |
:47:22. | :47:30. | ||
of bodies back on the line, where Sabres this in the entire | :47:30. | :47:40. | |
:47:40. | :47:40. | ||
tournament! She comes out, it is just there, Da Mbabi is able to fire | :47:40. | :47:47. | |
it on but their bodies in the box to protect the keeper. That is the kind | :47:47. | :47:53. | |
of defending they will need. They will be tested, I am sure. Quite a | :47:53. | :47:58. | |
controversial decision for her to start against Norway and tonight, | :47:58. | :48:04. | |
she didn't appear at all in the qualifiers, Gunnarsdottir. She | :48:04. | :48:14. | |
:48:14. | :48:36. | ||
played a club football last season is improving, with coaching, the | :48:36. | :48:46. | |
:48:46. | :48:57. | ||
goalkeeping, at all levels, not just Germany are playing quite high, they | :48:57. | :49:01. | |
are getting a lot of possession. They will still need a lot of | :49:01. | :49:09. | |
movement. That is what I used to take from one we played them, | :49:09. | :49:17. | |
sometimes you felt like you had for five of them attacking, bodies all | :49:17. | :49:23. | |
over the place. You certainly had to keep mediation between the back line | :49:23. | :49:33. | |
:49:33. | :49:45. | ||
supporting leg. Right on the toes. I am sure she will be fine. Just her | :49:45. | :49:55. | |

generation of German internationals being given the chance, because of | :50:07. | :50:17. | |
:50:17. | :50:39. | ||
the players that are missing. Up to fingertips onto the top of the bar. | :50:39. | :50:44. | |
She's not massive, hasn't got a lot of height, the leap is very good to | :50:44. | :50:54. | |
:50:54. | :51:06. | ||
far. Kept the score at 0-0. Sigurdur Eyjolfsson, who made 30 appearances | :51:06. | :51:16. | |

negotiate the first 22 minutes. will give them a bit of confidence, | :52:26. | :52:33. | |
bit of belief. Certainly don't want to concede a goal too early and then | :52:33. | :52:38. | |
know you have to come out and look something. They said it themselves, | :52:38. | :52:44. | |
they will be playing for a draw tonight, even if they got that they | :52:44. | :52:48. | |
would probably have a national day back home, they are so proud of | :52:48. | :52:58. | |
:52:58. | :53:10. | ||
running! And it is her first international goal, to give them the | :53:10. | :53:16. | |
lead! She was denied with a header earlier on, but she finished that | :53:16. | :53:26. | |
:53:26. | :53:27. | ||
one very coolly and clinically, the Bayern Munich midfielder. It is a | :53:27. | :53:32. | |
fantastic ball from Maroszan, I thought maybe she should have taken | :53:32. | :53:38. | |
a shot there, but she's confident on both feet. Comes back on to her left | :53:38. | :53:45. | |
foot and slotted away brilliantly. Just send the defender role -- the | :53:45. | :53:54. | |
wrong way. She got 14 in 20 four Bayern Munich in the German | :53:54. | :53:58. | |
championship last season. Her 11th cap tonight. She will remember that | :53:58. | :54:08. | |
moment, her first international Netherlands, I thought she took the | :54:08. | :54:18. | |
:54:18. | :54:52. | ||
game by the scruff of the neck in through, very nearly succeeded. | :54:52. | :54:56. | |

:55:57. | :55:57. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :55:57. | :56:58. | |
step forward and join in. They look too much. They are allowing players | :56:58. | :57:04. | |
to get forward. They don't just want to come and defend, they do want to | :57:04. | :57:14. | |

This was a great pass. Great space between the centre half and the | :00:17. | :00:27. | |
:00:27. | :00:43. | ||
fullback. A great bronze. -- a great might have been released. For them, | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
it is perfect that they had Iceland. They believe that they can | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
score and they can deal with the expectation. Should they have come | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
up against Norway in a tighter game, it would have been great for the | :00:55. | :01:04. | |
other teams. They are not unbeatable. Of course they are not. | :01:04. | :01:14. | |
:01:14. | :01:29. | ||
She has such a fantastic delivery. -- Marozsan. She just makes that the | :01:29. | :01:39. | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :01:39. | :02:31. | |
There might be more coming, though. Another fantastic ball by marathon. | :02:31. | :02:41. | |
:02:41. | :03:05. | ||
of the Aslan -- Icelandic midfield, they need to come back and help the | :03:05. | :03:15. | |
:03:15. | :03:17. | ||
midfield out. She gets a touch here. The keeper did well. It is the | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
right side midfield for Iceland, they are just not getting the | :03:21. | :03:31. | |
:03:31. | :03:42. | ||
crosses that they need in the keeper standard of concentration. We | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
thought England were right in its four years ago, and then suddenly, | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
in the space of a couple minutes... We were very close with them. We | :03:51. | :04:01. | |
:04:01. | :04:01. | ||
thought we were certainly in the game. They got a goal. You could | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
just see what felt like the air being punched out of the England | :04:06. | :04:16. | |
:04:16. | :04:19. | ||

certainly wants to get involved in the game. Don't know if that is a | :09:11. | :09:18. | |
good thing or it something where the coach will be screaming at her. It | :09:18. | :09:28. | |
:09:28. | :09:28. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :09:28. | :10:18. | |
little bit more. They tend to open out on the switch, but not much in | :10:19. | :10:28. | |
:10:29. | :11:04. | ||
Iceland to keep it to one before half-time? They just gave the chance | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
for the courage to praise them or tell them what they are doing wrong | :11:07. | :11:16. | |
or tell them to keep going. -- for the coach to praise them. It does | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
not too bad being at one because they are still in the game. They | :11:20. | :11:30. | |
:11:30. | :11:38. | ||
Gunnarsdottir. Still have not got it clear. She has held it again. Some | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
smashing goalkeeping, right out of the top drawer. What a save. That is | :11:44. | :11:54. | |
concentration as well. Any space in that area, certainly within three | :11:54. | :12:02. | |
minutes left, that is a great strike. It was taken early. A | :12:02. | :12:11. | |
fantastic saves, double save, like you said. White did she not play a | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
single -- why did she not play a single minute in qualifying for this | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
team? With keeper is you tend to stick with you ever is your number | :12:19. | :12:29. | |
:12:29. | :12:36. | ||
one. Sometimes they need that think they thought they scored. | :12:36. | :12:44. | |
just had too much space. She was celebrating. What a save.A crucial | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
one in terms of the match. It just gives them that hope, going into | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
half-time. When you're keeper is playing like that, it gives the | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
defence competent as well. I am sure the coach will be telling them to | :12:57. | :13:07. | |
:13:07. | :13:21. | ||
the defence. I know it is hard, but they need to just play a little bit | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
quicker pressure. You do not want to get them a chance to put those | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
passes through or have that time to think about a shot, such as in that | :13:30. | :13:40. | |

Canada last month. She is -- this is dangerous ball in the last two | :14:40. | :14:50. | |
:14:50. | :14:56. | ||
seconds of the half. -- last few only one goal between the two teams | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
when the half-time whistle goes. The last match of the first half. It | :15:01. | :15:11. | |
:15:11. | :15:24. | ||
Another raid set piece. Does well to get it again as macro across -- does | :15:24. | :15:34. | |
:15:34. | :15:39. | ||
well to get it across. She needs to get back. She could not quite reach. | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
Everyone on the German bench will be wondering how it is only a one to | :15:43. | :15:53. | |
:15:53. | :15:55. | ||
zero lead. That is the case at the break, Iceland hanging in there. | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
Lotzen is the one to have broken the deadlock with her first | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
international goal, the Bayern Munich midfielder. That is the goal | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
that separates the two teams at the break. It possibly should have been | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
more. Iceland have to think their goalkeeper -- thank their goalkeeper | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
forward two saves right out of the top drawer, otherwise Germany might | :16:16. | :16:26. | |
:16:26. | :16:33. | ||
win at the second attempt. But they haven't had it all their own way, | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
still work to do? Just a little bit, but you see a smile on my face. | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
Could have scored more goals but it is definitely different face to stop | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
Germany can be better, but they are in the game now, and it gives them | :16:48. | :16:56. | |
confidence to be in the lead 1-0. Germany have absolutely dominated. | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
We thought Iceland would put 11 players behind the ball and that is | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
what they have done, they have tried to make it ethical for Germany but | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
Germany has still created chances, especially from set pieces. For me, | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
Iceland need to come out, start using them on the break. They are | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
good at turning defence from attack. More debate and analysis from the | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
first half plus an intriguing interview with Hope Powell after the | :17:25. | :17:35. | |

Germany in Vaxjo. You have one couple of world cups and four | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
European titles, you were very relieved to see that goal going. | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
Absolutely, and I can't wait to see some more, but this is what we | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
needed, we talked about it earlier. If you get one goal, you get the | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
self-confidence. Beautiful two catches, Maroszan, Da Mbabi, then | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
really clever, she is so young, first international goal. Really | :19:55. | :20:02. | |
clever to finish that, doesn't show any nerves at all, loved it. | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
fact they have to play one and two touches against Iceland, to break | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
them down, that is what they did there, created the chance and scored | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
the goal, but a really cool finish. We had a very happy German in the | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
studio when that goal went in! a little bit emotional, I guess! | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
Anybody would think you love your country! Here we go! Little bit of | :20:29. | :20:36. | |

Gunnarsdottir, some at standing saves. -- outstanding. We had some | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
great chances but a really great save, she kept her team in that | :20:47. | :20:54. | |
game. The fact that she is the number one goalkeeper, is she trying | :20:54. | :21:04. | |
:21:04. | :21:15. | ||
to prove a point? It touches the a German point of view. And she made | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
a couple of double saves? Yes, this is from Da Mbabi. You can see from | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
her reaction that she thought that she had scored. If she's trying to | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
prove a point, she has proven a point to is here. She has kept 30 | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
minute. Goalkeepers get a bad rap, sometimes for good reason. But she | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
has proven their that she is a good keeper? She managed to get up really | :21:40. | :21:47. | |
quick. For me, she has been nice and's player of the match. Have you | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
been impressed with the Icelandic defending at times? They have had to | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
be pretty disciplined. This is what we were expecting. It's going to be | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
hard, you have to defend hard. Sometimes there were ten or 11 | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
players in their own box. Of course, this came from a corner | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
kick, but it shows that they want just a deep and work together as a | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
team. It's so tough for the German team. There is not a lot of space | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
that they have, and are like when they score, when they have this one | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
moment when they are not as compact, this is the chance that you have to | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
take. When they break, after the defending, there doesn't seem to be | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
any players higher up the pitch as an outlet? The workrate is | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
fantastic. We mentioned that when they are attacking, they tend to get | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
back into their position. Whether it is for-5-1, at times it was a 4-6, | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
it makes it difficult for Germany to play through. That is what they have | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
to do to prevent Germany scoring more. Like you mentioned, when they | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
get the ball, there is no option or how blessed and that makes it | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
difficult for Iceland to score. Tomorrow, England take on Russia in | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
their second group game. Hope Powell's game were stunned by a | :23:05. | :23:15. | |
:23:15. | :23:24. | ||
staff could have done differently or better? No, and that's a danger, | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
when something goes wrong, you doubt what you have done previously. What | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
we have done previously has been, to a certain extent, successful. We are | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
in a position where we know it is going to be tough. We have to win | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
the next game and we recognise that. The players are up for it, so | :23:40. | :23:49. | |
we have a job to do. We have Tony, Jordan on the bench, looking at the | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
younger players, are we going to see them? You want me to answer that | :23:54. | :24:04. | |
:24:04. | :24:08. | ||
need to, about substitutions. There is no guarantee that they will play. | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
All I'm saying to the players is, be ready, because that is why you are | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
here. During a game do you ever look at it and think, I need to throw | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
caution to the wind? We did when we got the draw. When we came back to | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
2-2, we change the formation, we pushed two upfront. Very quickly, we | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
scored. Right, go back to where we were, let's look at it. | :24:35. | :24:44. | |
Unfortunately, a mistake was made and we conceded. How do you deal | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
with Karen Bardsley? She recognises there was an error. She's not a | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
stupid girl. You have to leave her little bit and let her reflect on it | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
herself. She has done that, she is a smart girl. She knows exactly what | :24:57. | :25:05. | |
went wrong. A difficult few days for her? Difficult for everybody, | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
actually. The manner in which we lost the game, having not played | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
well and come back twice, and then the last minute or so, it was | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
crushing, actually. The girls were bitterly disappointed. But it is | :25:18. | :25:25. | |
what it is. We now have a job to do. Do you remind them of 2009 at this | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
point? In the huddle, on the pitch, everybody is really down, understood | :25:29. | :25:36. | |
the bleak -- understandably so. We have been down before, we know what | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
this is like, you just have to get yourself out of it again. They know | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
what is at stake. We all know what is required. If we win the game, we | :25:46. | :25:56. | |
:25:56. | :26:01. | ||
have got a chance. Otherwise we are training at the Arena this afternoon | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
and they are now back at the team hotel. Sally Nugent joins us from | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
there. The players have been analysing what went wrong on Friday | :26:10. | :26:19. | |
night. What have they been doing today? Well, you will know that Hope | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
Powell loves her research and analysis. On Saturday night, last | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
night, they all sat down and watched the match again. They went through | :26:28. | :26:34. | |
it in huge amounts of detail, replaying certain sections. They | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
look that different moves. A huge amount of analysis went into it. | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
Then they had a team meeting, where they all talked about what went | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
wrong. We have heard from someone that was in that meeting, that it | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
was brutally honest. That was a direct quote. But I don't think | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
there was any particular blame laid at any one person. I think if you | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
want an insight into what might have been said, simply listen to the | :26:59. | :27:05. | |
post-match interview, seconds after coming off the pitch last night. | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
Katie Stony said, we were not good enough, we didn't play well enough, | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
at times they were sloppy. Those are the sort of phrases that would have | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
been said last night. You have been watching the players in training. | :27:18. | :27:25. | |
What areas have they been focusing on a particular? This was a Hope | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
Powell training session, open to the press. You can imagine, she was not | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
giving anything away. If they are focusing on particular problems or | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
areas they want to work on, they will be doing that behind closed | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
doors. It was on energetic training session. I think the thing that | :27:40. | :27:50. | |
:27:50. | :27:57. | ||
struck me particularly was that Jordan Nobbs and Toni Duggan played | :27:57. | :28:01. | |
a significant part. I'm not saying they might start, but they certainly | :28:01. | :28:09. | |
seem to have that spark. Talking of spark, Kelly Smith sat out the | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
training session and it has been confirmed she will not start | :28:12. | :28:18. | |
tomorrow. A little bird tells me you have been getting your kit on and | :28:18. | :28:25. | |
having a go yourself, is that right? Pretty much total humiliation. I | :28:25. | :28:31. | |
did. I trained with England yesterday. It was a fantastic | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
opportunity. Hope Powell invited me to train with the team in the heat | :28:34. | :28:37. | |
of their training ground. I can tell you that it was stifling hot | :28:37. | :28:42. | |
yesterday. But the players were fantastic with me. Hugely | :28:42. | :28:45. | |
welcoming. They helped me all of the way through it. I think Hope Powell | :28:45. | :28:49. | |
said at one point she was expecting me to fall over because it was so | :28:49. | :28:53. | |
hot. She also said I talked too much, so I have no chance of getting | :28:53. | :28:58. | |
on the team. But was a lot of fun. I do do quite a lot of exercise, I | :28:58. | :29:03. | |
thought I was fit, but I realised I run like a girl, a girl running like | :29:03. | :29:07. | |
a bus. Terrible. You look the part, even if Hope Powell was not | :29:07. | :29:12. | |
impressed. We know she doesn't give too much away, but have you managed | :29:12. | :29:15. | |
to gather any kind of hints about team selection for such a crucial, | :29:15. | :29:22. | |
crucial, must win match tomorrow? This is the really tricky thing we | :29:22. | :29:27. | |
have to work out, 24 hours before a match. You saw in that interview | :29:27. | :29:32. | |
that Hope Powell gave me early on, no hint from here at all. But we | :29:32. | :29:36. | |
have to look back, I think, in her history, and see that she likes to | :29:36. | :29:41. | |
stick to her team. Once she has her team together, she will play her | :29:41. | :29:44. | |
team again, again and again. We worked out the team that played on | :29:44. | :29:48. | |
Friday night has an average of 71 caps between them. So, hugely | :29:48. | :29:58. | |
:29:58. | :30:00. | ||
experienced. Tonight, we have heard from Casey Stoney. She said that | :30:00. | :30:04. | |
some of those young players were itching to get on. Interesting that | :30:04. | :30:08. | |
the captain said that. Four years ago, England lost their first match | :30:08. | :30:11. | |
and then went on to beat Russia in their second group game. That proved | :30:11. | :30:17. | |
to be a real turning point on their way to the 2009 final. Will the same | :30:17. | :30:27. | |
:30:27. | :30:55. | ||
fixture kick start their campaign 1-0, to get the game underway. They | :30:55. | :31:05. | |
:31:05. | :31:14. | ||
have made a change. It is a player that plies her trade in England. She | :31:14. | :31:20. | |
was a substitute in the opening round against Norway. She has 45 | :31:20. | :31:25. | |
minutes to help the country come from behind against the holders. And | :31:25. | :31:31. | |
there she is with her first touch. They could have been out of sight | :31:31. | :31:41. | |
:31:41. | :31:53. | ||
but for the Iceland goalkeeper, again. Certainly, they can reload, | :31:53. | :32:03. | |
read the game well. Odinsdottir may be able to give some strong | :32:03. | :32:13. | |
:32:13. | :32:17. | ||
League, here. I'm surprised she wasn't in the starting line-up? | :32:17. | :32:25. | |
lot of them do play abroad, at a high level. Fitness levels in the | :32:25. | :32:35. | |
:32:35. | :32:35. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :32:35. | :33:36. | |
they have had some 4-0 results Swings her left foot. Good quality, | :33:36. | :33:46. | |
:33:46. | :33:46. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :33:46. | :34:27. | |
but too deep. Need somebody coming Corner. She will be pleased to get a | :34:27. | :34:36. | |
goal. She's got the number nine on the back of her shirt, somebody who | :34:36. | :34:40. | |
was prolific in the past, Bridget Prinz, used to have that number. I'm | :34:40. | :34:44. | |
not sure if that weighs on her mind. Anybody taking that number | :34:44. | :34:54. | |
:34:54. | :35:03. | ||
nine shirt after he will have a lot on Lotzen's back. She's almost | :35:03. | :35:13. | |
thriving on it? Yes, some players international goal in this game, she | :35:13. | :35:23. | |
:35:23. | :35:36. | ||
Mbabi was waiting patiently in the six yard box. She does the right | :35:36. | :35:46. | |
:35:46. | :36:07. | ||
thing, she looked to slip that ball. The full-back cannot quite | :36:07. | :36:12. | |
reach it. The defender is doing well. In the right place. Good | :36:12. | :36:22. | |
:36:22. | :37:02. | ||
The keeper was out of position. That just keep trying. Usually they would | :37:02. | :37:06. | |
have three or four by now. Certainly, they have done well to | :37:06. | :37:16. | |
:37:16. | :37:16. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :37:16. | :38:06. | |
will relish, knowing that they will need to get through a lot of work, | :38:06. | :38:16. | |
:38:16. | :38:36. | ||
for Cramer, the first of the game. She will not be able to play against | :38:36. | :38:44. | |
Norway, Cramer. It will be interesting to see who can fill that | :38:44. | :38:54. | |
:38:54. | :39:31. | ||
thought that had initially come off her hand, we will have to wait for | :39:31. | :39:41. | |
:39:41. | :39:53. | ||
the replay to see that. Certainly Kessler. Excellent save, but Da | :39:53. | :40:03. | |
:40:03. | :40:04. | ||
Mbabi. 2-0. It has been coming. They have survived for so long, Iceland. | :40:04. | :40:13. | |
Germany, through the familiar figure of Da Mbabi, double their lead. | :40:13. | :40:22. | |
Sloppy defending by the Icelandic team. Maier gets the ball back well, | :40:22. | :40:28. | |
then it is an easy strike. She gets weight behind it to get it into the | :40:29. | :40:33. | |
roof of the net, but you have to be religious point it with the | :40:34. | :40:41. | |
descending from Iceland. Giving it away on the edge of the box. You | :40:41. | :40:51. | |
:40:51. | :40:54. | ||
need to clear it. Ten minutes into the second half, Icelandpos-mac | :40:54. | :40:59. | |
Tasker has been made more difficult. Germany have the bit between their | :40:59. | :41:09. | |
:41:09. | :41:19. | ||
she has scored her 42nd international goal. Normal service | :41:19. | :41:29. | |
:41:29. | :41:42. | ||
thought she had more time, and you do not get more time in games like | :41:42. | :41:47. | |
this. Germany were looking to win the ball back. With the ball | :41:47. | :41:50. | |
bouncing around the box, they will not give you time to turn, you | :41:51. | :42:00. | |
:42:01. | :42:35. | ||
cannot turn and passage out. -- well on the edge of the box, and it | :42:35. | :42:45. | |
:42:45. | :43:00. | ||
on in this group. The Netherlands held Germany in the opener. This | :43:00. | :43:04. | |
would put Germany on four points with victory in this game. Norway | :43:04. | :43:08. | |
and Germany are the two teams with four points, they meet each other in | :43:08. | :43:15. | |
the final game on Wednesday. From an England point of view, I hoped | :43:15. | :43:21. | |
Norway would lose against the Netherlands, I expect they will have | :43:21. | :43:27. | |
to play very well to get three points. Looking at England, in that | :43:27. | :43:36. | |
third position, looking at all the options. We had the calculator out | :43:36. | :43:44. | |
here, the permutations. You look at it early on. The coaches on the | :43:44. | :43:47. | |
other teams will be looking at all the different permutations, the | :43:47. | :43:52. | |
goals scored, the goals conceded, it all comes into play. You need to get | :43:52. | :43:56. | |
the victories under your belt early on. Germany will be thinking in | :43:56. | :44:00. | |
terms of goals scored at this stage, with Norway to play in the last | :44:00. | :44:10. | |
:44:10. | :44:21. | ||
Germany - England's quarterfinal could still be on the cards. Lots of | :44:21. | :44:31. | |
:44:31. | :44:39. | ||
terms of getting it right. Some of their younger players, they would | :44:39. | :44:46. | |
love to close this out with more goals. Of course, any game when | :44:46. | :44:51. | |
you're on top, you want to keep going. Do the most you can to keep | :44:51. | :45:00. | |
the pressure on, do not let off. That is the competitive edge, you | :45:00. | :45:06. | |
realise that goals may come down to it. Germans normally score a few. | :45:06. | :45:16. | |
:45:16. | :45:39. | ||
They normally have that in their Gunnarsdottir is departing, the | :45:39. | :45:49. | |
:45:49. | :45:57. | ||
second change is another Vidarsdottir coming on. She made | :45:57. | :46:07. | |
:46:07. | :46:26. | ||
appearances with Chelsea but left matters. She actually played left | :46:26. | :46:36. | |
:46:36. | :47:09. | ||
tournament was 2009, that is why the draw with Norway was such a big | :47:09. | :47:13. | |
moment in their history. Particularly, they had been | :47:13. | :47:17. | |
runners-up to Norway in qualification and fat to get at the | :47:18. | :47:22. | |
Ukraine over two legs in a play-off. They have earned the right to be at | :47:22. | :47:32. | |
:47:32. | :48:00. | ||
this tournament. -- the hat to get from a long absence, otherwise she | :48:00. | :48:06. | |
would have been in the starting 11. The perfect time for Silvia Neid to | :48:06. | :48:13. | |
introduce her. Yes, she has overcome an injury, nine months out, | :48:13. | :48:18. | |
depending on the type of operation you have. She normally plays on the | :48:18. | :48:28. | |
:48:28. | :48:28. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :48:28. | :50:28. | |
departing. Her 11th Bajramaj is did not get the target there. | :50:28. | :50:33. | |
got too good a contact, she just wants a glancing header. Squeeze it | :50:33. | :50:43. | |
:50:43. | :50:52. | ||
into the near post. Another chance, she is getting closer again. Iceland | :50:52. | :51:02. | |
:51:02. | :51:08. | ||
have to try and attempt to get a few players forward. You are getting to | :51:08. | :51:14. | |
the end of the game, fatigue is setting in. Then the Germans keep | :51:14. | :51:24. | |
:51:24. | :51:24. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :51:24. | :52:04. | |
Krahn was always going to win that. But she stepped in to make it hard | :52:04. | :52:14. | |
:52:14. | :52:14. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :52:14. | :53:27. | |
she hasn't been out of position or substitute, Odin 's daughter -- | :53:27. | :53:37. | |
Odinsdottir. Just shows the eagerness to get that ball. It just | :53:37. | :53:41. | |
feels like the game goes on for ever, when you are down. I think | :53:41. | :53:46. | |
they have done well to keep it down to two. But they are slowly trying | :53:46. | :53:49. | |
to commit a few bodies forward. It's just a learning experience for them | :53:49. | :53:59. | |
:53:59. | :54:31. | ||
think she was going for the return pass back to Lotzen. Not the right | :54:31. | :54:41. | |
:54:41. | :54:48. | ||
She is only 21 as well. I remember seeing her play against Arsenal, two | :54:48. | :54:55. | |
years ago, in the Champions League. A pause, because the substitute has | :54:55. | :55:02. | |
been substituted for Iceland. Liverpool's captain Odinsdottir goes | :55:02. | :55:11. | |
off. She has only been on the pitch 15 Mertz. And Omarsdottir is coming | :55:11. | :55:21. | |
:55:21. | :55:21. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :55:21. | :56:26. | |
on. -- 15 minutes. Germany have the goalkeeping again. Desperate stuff | :56:26. | :56:36. | |
:56:36. | :56:44. | ||
succeeding. They are really committing bodies forwards, Germany. | :56:44. | :56:51. | |
A little flick by Marozsan. Da Mbabi, full waited behind it. The | :56:51. | :56:56. | |
keeper did well. Came out and used her feet. Did well to spread her | :56:56. | :57:06. | |
:57:06. | :57:32. | ||
left midfield. Leupolz goes into the a yellow card for the Icelandic | :57:32. | :57:42. | |
:57:42. | :57:42. | ||
captain, Jonsdottir. She allows the ball to run across her. Captures her | :57:42. | :57:52. | |
:57:52. | :57:52. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :57:52. | :58:40. | |
vision from Marozsan. Lots of space. Look where the goalkeeper | :58:40. | :58:45. | |
was. Might have thought it was running through. It was always | :58:45. | :58:51. | |
getting to the German. Doesn't quite connect. Shame. It was a good move, | :58:51. | :59:01. | |
:59:01. | :59:38. | ||
Mbabi. You want to just wrap her in cotton wool? Yes, well, she has done | :59:38. | :59:48. | |
:59:48. | :00:04. | ||
her work. She caused problems with was a little rusty, in the end? I | :00:04. | :00:13. | |
think she did well to pressurise her. I think she actually kicked the | :00:13. | :00:23. | |
:00:23. | :00:23. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :00:23. | :01:20. | |
ground herself. You are allowed to beat Iceland to stand a chance to go | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
through. If there is a winner in the clash between Norway and Germany, he | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
would have two teams on four points. That might be enough, of course, to | :01:33. | :01:40. | |
get them through. There are all kinds of permutations, that we were | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
alluding to, as regards England. Of course, you have to do your own job | :01:46. | :01:56. | |
:01:56. | :02:06. | ||
they have lacked the quality. They have to be more precise when there | :02:06. | :02:16. | |
:02:16. | :02:32. | ||
are just one or two options. It is a Eyjolfsson is that they have not | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
conceded five or six, which is what you might have feared? Before the | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
game, people might have been expecting that. If you look at | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
Sweden and Finland, Sweden getting five. In that sense, they have done | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
well so far. They just have to keep their concentration for the last 15 | :02:50. | :03:00. | |
:03:00. | :03:31. | ||
The boots are so thin nowadays, you career! Of course not, all of these | :03:31. | :03:41. | |
:03:41. | :04:12. | ||
Bajramaj. Just that return pass from Mittag. Easily allowed to run | :04:12. | :04:22. | |
:04:22. | :04:23. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :04:23. | :06:17. | |
through here. Skips past, a good one fixture for Germany. On to her left. | :06:17. | :06:27. | |
:06:27. | :07:06. | ||
curling in, I thought. Just didn't is the ideal game to bring her back. | :07:06. | :07:15. | |
It will be a reward to be of use to the squad after the hard work of | :07:15. | :07:25. | |
:07:25. | :07:40. | ||
rehabilitation. I know what that goalkeeper, Angerer, is leaving | :07:40. | :07:50. | |
:07:50. | :08:14. | ||
guest went there and loved it. She might be only there for couple of | :08:14. | :08:22. | |
months but she up being therefore two seasons. It cannot be that bad. | :08:22. | :08:32. | |
:08:32. | :08:46. | ||
I found it great, it helped lure me sheet, back-to-back clean sheets | :08:46. | :08:56. | |
:08:56. | :08:56. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :08:56. | :09:48. | |
the goalkeeper, and Da Mbabi gets her second! Goal number 21 for the | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
top scorer in qualifying. German Player Of The Year last year. | :09:52. | :10:02. | |
:10:02. | :10:03. | ||
Beginning to realise the scoreline. 3-0. Simple crossing, slight | :10:03. | :10:13. | |
:10:13. | :10:13. | ||
deflection, a little bit of indecision with the keeper, she | :10:14. | :10:22. | |
should have come out for that. The Germans are good at their crosses, | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
it is part of their play which is so effective. They always hit the | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
danger area and the strikers are on the end of it. They are always in | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
the right place at the right time, the timing of the runs, the | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
movement, but in that case it is just instinct. Full credit to | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
Germany, they have certainly not taking their foot off the pedal | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
after that second goal. The pace has dropped somewhat, but when they | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
attack, they do it with precision, in their passing and their | :10:57. | :11:07. | |
:11:07. | :11:27. | ||
Iceland want to hear that full-time whistle. Just gets half a yard, | :11:27. | :11:35. | |
slight deflection, you just need to stick out a leg, get into the danger | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
area and get rewarded with a goal. Goal-scorers love scoring, and you | :11:41. | :11:48. | |
could see what it meant to Da Mbabi, who has had a frustrating time in | :11:48. | :11:58. | |
:11:58. | :12:28. | ||
need to defend that's -- defend this recent meetings, it came off | :12:28. | :12:38. | |
:12:38. | :12:52. | ||
She has gone down rather heavily in the attack, stretching for that. She | :12:52. | :13:02. | |
:13:02. | :13:02. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :13:02. | :13:48. | |
game is crowding out the keeper. Scandinavian teams do it a lot. | :13:48. | :13:58. | |
:13:58. | :14:16. | ||
couple more minutes for Iceland to from the squad, with a convincing | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
win like this it will be great experience. Of course, it is good | :14:23. | :14:33. | |
for them to get gametime, the manager is giving a start to young | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
players, and that is a big change to put them in. She did not perform in | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
the first game and she has done well against slightly easier opposition. | :14:42. | :14:50. | |
Certainly, getting your to your belt in big games is great, and you just | :14:50. | :14:59. | |
want to be playing as a youngster. I found it hard to be patient. The | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
difference between players and their technique is so little, but the | :15:02. | :15:12. | |
:15:12. | :15:36. | ||
here? That is Da Mbabi again, searching for the match ball. | :15:36. | :15:46. | |
:15:46. | :15:51. | ||
Another header. That is a hard one, trying to get over the defender. She | :15:51. | :15:59. | |
has two goals already, she will be happy. Searching for another. | :15:59. | :16:09. | |
:16:09. | :16:27. | ||
unfortunately. Germany can reflect on their first victory of the | :16:27. | :16:34. | |
tournament. It will take themselves and Norway to four points, before | :16:34. | :16:44. | |
:16:44. | :16:46. | ||
they meet on Wednesday. Set it up nicely, to see who can win the | :16:46. | :16:56. | |
:16:56. | :16:56. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :16:56. | :18:03. | |
It is hard to slot that one through, there was lots of bodies back for | :18:03. | :18:13. | |
:18:13. | :18:13. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :18:13. | :19:34. | |
more. I remember them doing a short other, the Icelandic team. They have | :19:34. | :19:44. | |
:19:44. | :19:44. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 44 seconds | :19:44. | :20:32. | |
champions, and Silvia Neid has her first victory of the tournament. Two | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
goals from Da Mbabi, as clinical as ever, adding to Lena Lotzen's first | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
of her international career in the first half. Germany, like Norway, in | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
Group B, moving on to four points. Certainly some eyebrows raised in | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
this stadium in their opening match, when they were held by the | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
Netherlands. Tonight, Germany were effective, efficient and totally | :20:58. | :21:08. | |
:21:08. | :21:15. | ||
dominating. It has finished Iceland at the top of Group E, exactly where | :21:15. | :21:25. | |
:21:25. | :21:26. | ||
we expected them to be and where we winner, what did you make of your | :21:26. | :21:33. | |
bowl of your beloved side tonight? Happy face. Much better performance, | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
much better movement, three important goals. I'm happy with the | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
performance. Just 1-0 at half-time. The opening goal from Lotzen? | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
think they needed that goal. It was a bit of a nervous start initially. | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
Then they started to get into the way that we know Germany can play. | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
We were saying they needed to do one or two touches to get around the | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
Icelandic defence. That is what they did. It was a fantastic ball from | :22:01. | :22:08. | |
Marozsan through. What a cool finish from Lotzen. This is what you want | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
to see in football. One touch, two coach, great technique and fantastic | :22:12. | :22:21. | |
finish. She can go on either foot. As a defender, you wonder which way | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
she is going to go. In the second half, Da Mbabi with two goals. Just | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
what we were expecting from her? cannot leave her out of sight for 90 | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
minutes. It is impossible. A little bit of confusion in the box. Germany | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
stays right there. A great shot from Maier. Just wear a striker needs to | :22:42. | :22:51. | |
be, right? Great finish. Gunnarsdottir with a great save. But | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
that is a striker's finish. In the right place, at the right time, does | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
exactly what she needs to do with it. Her second, after a fantastic | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
cross from the substitute, Bajramaj, who would have been starting if she | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
hadn't been injured? That her strength. You have players like | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
Bajramaj on the bench, she can bring new power in there. Great cross, | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
great running from Da Mbabi. She is waiting there, expecting this. So | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
hard for a defender to get to the ball first. Obviously she could not | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
stop her. As a white player, that is where you want to put the ball. For | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
a centre forward, that's where you want to put across. -- wide player. | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
You can see after the first goal, her confidence raised and she wanted | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
to score three, she wasn't happy with two. I thought she was | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
fantastic. Her movement throughout the game was outstanding. That makes | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
it 19 goals in the European Championships, including 17 in | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
qualifying, the first time a player has done that. She had really much | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
better movement today compared to the first game. Two reasons. For | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
one, Iceland was not as close as the Netherlands team. On the other side, | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
she had really great movement. Sometimes you just need to create | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
the space, she was always there, you could always find her. She had a | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
really good game. She comes short for the ball, she wants to collect | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
it and drive up players. She also goal on. This is a lovely little... | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
You know, she turns two defenders. She even has a trick in her locker, | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
she's not just a goal-scorer, she can do a little skill like that. She | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
is circled here. You can see her movement. The defender doesn't know | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
where she is going. Unlucky with the header, but the initial movement. | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
Every defender is just going to be, like, God, where are you running? It | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
is so hard to keep in touch with her. Last night we saw the Swedish | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
superstar get off the mark with two goals. Tonight we saw Germany's star | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
player Da Mbabi doing the same thing. Unfortunately for England, | :25:06. | :25:14. | |
their key player remain silent. -- remains sidelined. Kelly Smith, | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
alongside Sophie Bradley, the defender. How dispiriting is it to | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
see that? Kelly Smith is someone we know can come on and change the | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
game. She normally starts games. She is that key to England. We need a | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
spark, we need somebody and it is really disappointing. What you think | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
about potential changes for Hope Powell tomorrow? We need a bit of | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
firepower, something to link the midfield to attack. I would love to | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
see Jordan Knobs start or play part of the game. Just give that little | :25:47. | :25:56. | |
bit of pace to the team. -- Nobbs. Those players, playing the first | :25:56. | :26:02. | |
game, they really want to do better. Better ball possession, if they have | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
better movement, really willing to win the game. They are under | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
pressure, but sometimes under pressure you perform even better. | :26:07. | :26:15. | |
And England need it. We always say we do it the hard way. We are | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
waiting for the Russia game. And they can perform under pressure. | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
They have done it before. We did it in 2009. There is no reason why they | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
can't. Let's do it the hard way, let's make it entertaining for | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
everybody. They did that last time. We are able and, we tend to do | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
things the hard way. Don't forget we are changing channels for the early | :26:35. | :26:45. | |
:26:45. | :27:08. |
