The semi-finals women’s football are both on Tuesday the 6th of August. For Germany this means another face off with the USWNT. Emma Hayes and her team beat Germany with 1-4 the last time. Horst Hrubesch has his work cut out for him. Emily Fox was seen back with the team training, but Germany will have to play without Popp and Schüller. Let’s have a look at the statistics, possible lineups, the players and where to watch the Paris 2024 Olympics matches.
The Semi-Finals women’s football Paris 2024 are TODAY – on the 6th of August at 18:00 CEST.
Preview Paris Olympics USA vs Germany
During the group stage, the USA and Germany were both in Group B. On match day 2 they played against each other and Germany conceded four goals. The USWNT opened the score after only ten minutes of play via Sophia Smith. It was Gwinn from Germany who got Germany back to 1-1 but only four minutes later Swanson took back the lead. Just before halftime, Smith scored her second, making it very hard for Germany to come back. Even after multiple substitutions Hrubesch, his squad was no match for Emma Hayes.
The only criticism Hayes has gotten so far is that she starts with the same starting IX every match. The players are tired, especially after the quarter-finals and having played the extra time. We wonder if Hayes will continue to do this because she cracked the code against Germany before.
USA vs Germany Line-up & Players
On match day we will find out what the exact Starting IXs are. Germany rotated a few players during the group-stage matches and quarter-final. Emma Hayes kept her starting IX identical every time. Both are dealing with some injuries after the last matches. The teams travelled with 22 players to the tournament. 18 players are available on match days and the coaches can swap between the 4 alternates. Except in the case of disciplinary sanctions.
