A small addendum from the training camp:
The team management is always well prepared. Also on the meteorological conditions. No one can say that the head of clothing Mariam Khamsi bush was not appropriate:
Or was it only the evil curse of a self-fulfilling prophecy???

„Toll, you are in the national team! also you get there money?"- So many reactions from my friends. But unfortunately, the opposite is the case,: The cost is for normal mortal Football players, their land want to represent with her favorite hobby at the World Cup, difficult to apply.
So Svenja and I made our thoughts, how we could get the money together. We already received financial support from our association (ASC As e.V.), and the AFVSH. Other proposals to the city of Kiel, the LSV and regional companies have already made.
But we still have to bear most of the costs themselves, we decided, wander the Season Opener of GFL in Kiel with the donation box.
So we were not to be overlooked, armed ourselves with Viking helmets and Hawaii chains in Germany colors. There were also shirts, on which we had quickly even ironed by hand the WWC Logo. A small Germany flag completing our "outfit". During the Tailgate Party came many Kiel fans to us and filled our piggy bank, while others probably just wondering, why we looked so funny. But there has to, who wants to raise money ;). Overall, arrived that day at the 100,- € together, and many congratulations and supporting words - thank you very much to the fans Kieler!

We already know that the players in the women's national team are more than just average. That's why they were nominated.
But they are also significantly larger than average in body length. After all, they're average 172 cm long. That’s just barely 18% of women bigger than our team. The main part of German women (56,1%) is just between 160 und 169 cm tall.
The considerable size does not quite approach the average German man. Here are 50% between 175 und 184 cm tall.

(JS) – Michelle Kränzlein is only now 17 Years young and one of the great talents in German women's football. The native Bavarian still goes to school 11. Class of the Emil Possehl School (Technical high school area) and is preparing intensively for the women's football world championship in Sweden these weeks. Jörg Schlüter talked to the athlete, who also accepts longer journeys to training and from whom we will certainly hear and see a lot in the next few years.
Football-aktuell.de: Hello Michelle, What actually fascinates you about the sport of football?. You can't get rich and other sports get more attention.
M. Wreath: About basketball, Breakdancing and ballet is how I got into American football. Since I'm a linebacker, I find it particularly great, other players (of course, in accordance with the rules) to stop. But also as a half- and fullback I am used. The solidarity in every team is great and the World Cup represents a big challenge for all of us.
Football-aktuell.de: We heard, that you train in both Lübeck and Hamburg. This means a lot of effort for you and what is left of life?
M. Wreath: The plan, to build a Cougars women's team in Lübeck, unfortunately had to be postponed again. We always travel with three girls to train with the Amazons in Hamburg and with the Cougars A youth team, bzw. I also train with the second Cougars team. By training with our boys, I hope to make quicker progress in understanding the game and also gain more “toughness”.. This can only be helpful for the World Cup in Stockholm. Of course, I also have to do homework and leave the beach earlier and earlier in the summer. But it all works together.
Football-aktuell.de: Looking back, how do you assess the selection camps in Cologne and Silberborn??
M. Wreath: That was what mattered most, to quickly learn the coaches' instructions. In Silberborn it was much more strenuous, than during normal training and we were all under pressure and could only make a few mistakes - but that was a good thing.
Football-aktuell.de: Since you are still a student, Financing the World Cup and the preparation certainly represents a special challenge for you. How were you able to clarify this question??
M. Wreath: Mr. Christian Schmidt from the Cougars and his office kindly financed the camps for me. The cities of Lübeck and Hamburg are providing subsidies for the World Cup, because I'm a member of the Amazons and the Cougars. Smaller sponsors also give something.
Football-aktuell.de: You won't meet again until Berlin-Straussberg, shortly before departure to Sweden. What support will you receive from your responsible coach in the meantime?
M. Wreath: We have received a nutrition plan and will receive emails informing you of the latest information. Otherwise I train, As I said, three times a week with the Cougars and the Amazons and we are all in a lively exchange of ideas. In general, the team building within the defense worked wonderfully.
Football-aktuell.de: Can you hope for a starting place in Stockholm??
M. Wreath: I don't believe. Nicole Wirtz has a big lead. But we will both get playing time. If everything works out, then we can beat anyone in Stockholm. We do have to respect, but must not be afraid of the Americans.

VISITSWEDEN-COM, Sweden's official homepage for tourism and travel information, has included the World Cup in the calendar. The World Cup is there together with a punk festival, the royal wedding and the Midsummer celebration (known from advertising by a Swedish furniture store) in a row.
For all fans, who arrive beforehand, The Midsummer celebration on the Friday before the World Cup is likely to be a big attraction.
Speaking of Midsummer: For all players on the national team, the staff and all the accompanying fans here the sunrise- and times of doom for the 29. June, the day of the German national team's first game:
| sunrise | 02:41:51 h |
| sunset | 21:03:54 h |
| daylight | 18:22:03 Hours |
| Night | 05:37:57 Hours |
Maybe it would be appropriate here

In a loose collection, I will present some facts about the team. Some of them might be known, certainly not others.
What is the first thing you notice in a team photo, is the height. Some national players are significantly taller than their colleagues. And that by more than just a head size.
The biggest player in the German team is Birgit Schwenk from Mainz. With 196 It towers above all by centimeters. According to the research, it is one of the TOP 5 of all football players worldwide.
Birgit is a founding member of the Mainz Golden Eagles Ladies and has been playing since 2006 Football. As a defense tackle, she is in the front row of the German defense. With a weight of 135 kg she is also the heaviest player on the team and should form the bulwark against the running attack of our opponents. She is supported by Yvonne Mechsner, which is in second place in the internal ranking. Sweden and Canada have to pass those two first…
