goes – it does not work – goes – it does not work. Frustrating.

The last game against Canada was also frustrating. There would have been more in there. Today it's against Finland. Even if they got a lot on the bag against USA, it becomes really difficult in the game for third place. The Finns are damn fast and scored fifty points against Austria. We will have to keep up with the offense successfully, if we want to win. The last plays from the game against Canada should make us positive. The pass game worked better.

Here we go. We want this medal.

P.S. When the Internet connection stops, there are new pictures and stories today.

Although four teams live here on the site, you rarely get to see each other. Either you are on the move yourself or the others. You can talk to everyone, but one has the most contact with Canada, because they share most of the houses with us. So we from the staff have to go through a Canadian hallway every time to get to our rooms.

The Canadians we hung up a lot of motivational quotes. For example the picture from Friday Night Lights with the slogan “Can you be perfect?” or Al Pacino with “Inches”. There are also handwritten motivation articles about two Canadian wild geese, that the coach saw here. Geese take care of each other, work in a team. Who can no longer, lets himself fall back and the next goose takes over the leadership work. Does she need a break, a goose stays with her. One is careful when eating, while the other is eating. The usual motivational phrase. But the geese don't do that, because they are geese, but Canadians!!!

But we still found the most beautiful:

My better is better than your better

Good, better, best. It is not enough, just wanting to be better. We're going to do our BEST today to win.

The German side was in Stockholm support from high places.

The German Embassy in Stockholm did not just advertising for the World Cup on their home page, but also sent reinforcements to the game against Sweden in the stadium.

Cultural Officer Jan-Thede Domeyer came by and let it do not take, personally cheer on the German women at its premiere. Katrin Bartels by the German delegation took the visit to reception and introduced him to the principles of Footballs.

Tiffany Dinges experienced the nightmare a footballer par excellence.

Tuesday, 29. June 2010. The German national team arrived in the Zinkensdamm IP stadium a few minutes ago. Loud fans have gave the team a warm welcome. Now it is important to move and prepare for the most important game of the career. For someone like Tiffany, who has been there for such a long time and now finally appear with the national team, Certainly a very emotional moment.

But when she comes out after moving, your pad and helmet has disappeared. Unanswered, not somewhere else. Just away. Everyone can put themselves in them: One sees, that there is no longer a pad there, But you don't believe it!!!

Search, to ask, include more people in the search. But the pad remains disappeared. Panic!!!!!

Christiane Langkamm is looking for and contacts the organizer. Maybe one of the two teams has, who played beforehand, The pad plugged in. They are currently for eating and their pads are all included in the stadium. Both teams have to come to the stadium and a few minutes later the boss de Mission Katrin Bartels can return the pad and helmet to Tiffany.

The Austrians, Equipped with a red facemask, Had the pad included. As well as the helmet was under the pad, You couldn't see either, Whether the helmet is black or silver. Was lucky again.

As planned, Tiffany was able to start the first international match as a tackle.

Wir wohnen in dem Hotel Skogshem & Wijk.

Die Internetseite hierzu heisst http://www.skogshem-wijk.com/.

Das Hotel liegt eswas ausserhalb von Stockholm auf der Insel Lidingö. Natürlich gibt es eine Brücke nach Stockholm, wir müssen nicht jedesmal eine Fähre nehmen. Die Insel, zumindest der Teil, den wir bewohnen, ist sehr ländlich. Hinter dem Hotel liegen Wälder und Wiesen, vereinzelt dazwischen ein paar Häuser. Sehr friedlich und keine 10 Kilometer von der City entfernt. Fantastisch. Wir haben jetzt schon öfter ein Rudel Rehe gesehen, die im Wald vorbeiziehen.

Das Hotel liegt direkt am Wasser. Die weiträumige Anlage hat fünf verschiedene Häuser. Natürlich sind wir über alle fünf Häuser verteilt. Die Kanadier sind zum Großteil bei uns in Skogshem mit untergebracht, die Finnen und Österreicher bewohnen mehr das Haus Wijk. Die Zimmer sind nett eingerichtet und haben alles was man braucht. Die Spielerinnen haben meist Mehr-Bett Zimmer mit 3-4 Leuten. Der Staff und einige Spieler haben Einzelzimmer. Manche sogar mit Seeblick. Bei mir steht ein Baum davor, Otherwise I could see the large Baltic Sea ferries in Stockholm past us. 🙁

What is also important. There is internet via WLAN here. Two euros for 24 Hours is a fair price. German hotels should take an example there.

We have the restaurant with a sea view around the central square, The meeting rooms with built -in projectors, Reception and much more. The hotel has four stars. We discover many beautiful things. In addition to the fitness studio, there are massage rooms, Discovered Meike for themselves and mainly works here in the future. There are darts and billiards and many beautiful things, die wir aus Zeitmangel eh nicht nutzen. Den Bade-Steg am Meer haben einige Spielerinnen in der freien Zeit vor dem Spiel schon genutzt. Das Wasser ist wohl frisch, aber erträglich habe ich gehört.

Das Essen, meist das wichtigste an der Unterkunft, ist gut. Es ist lecker, in ausreichenden Mengen vorhanden und die Rezepte sind schwedisch angehaucht. Eigentlich schmeckt es allen.

Das Hotel ist nur von den vier Footballteams und den Schiedsrichterinnen belegt. Das führt dazu, dass an der Rezeption der IFAF Präsident Tommy Wiking persönlich Dienst hat. Bei dieser WM gilt wirklich: Hier bedient der Chef noch persönlich.

Eigentlich ein Paradies. Aber auch das Paradies hat Schattenseiten, wie wir später feststellen müssen.

So sind die Zustellbetten bei den Spielerinnen nicht so gut. Nach langen Kampf haben wir nun Tommy Wiking zusätzliche Matrazen und Decken abgerungen. Rebekka Braun hat die Matrazen nun lieber direkt auf den Boden gelegt und schläft dort.

Das Orgateam ist freundlich und jederzeit willens uns zu helfen, aber wie man so mitbekommt, klappt einiges in der Organisation nicht so wie gewünscht. Aber aus meiner Erfahrung ist das immer so, da muss das Orga-Team genauso durch wie wir mit unserer Mannschaften . Von unsern kleinen und großen Katastrophen später mehr…

Finally it is “nightmare” past. We have internet again.

Die letzten 24 Hours were very stormy. The important things first: We have 14:0 won. Respect to them 45 Women, who won this victory.

The details of the game are now online at www.ladiesfoorball.de. Also at www.ifaf.org there is a report on the game. Have fun while reading.

I will then put the remaining stories piece by piece here online. Just a little patience please. And constant pressing, that the internet won't collapse again.

Den ersten Touchdown in Schweden macht das Deutsche Team mit dem Flugzeug auf dem Flughafen in Stockholm. Kaum berührte das Flugzeug den Boden, The players welcomed the World Cup country with a loud one:

We are – BLACK !!

We are – RED !!

We are – GOLD !!

We are – ONE TEAM !!

Willkommen in Schweden. Die Fahrt zum Hotel dauerte etwa eine Stunde. Erwartet wurden sie mit Fahne von der Chefin de Mission Katrin Bartels, die wegen der Teilnahme an den Technical Meetings schon vorgereist war.

Vom Start an wurde jedem klar: Auch in Schweden ist der Zeitplan immer eng. 15 Minuten bis zum Essen (kaum genug Zeit die Koffer aufs Zimmer zu bringen) und nach dem Essen 15 Minuten bis zum ersten Meeting. Die Coaches begannen sofort das Video vom Vortag zu scouten. Da das offizielle Video noch nicht da war, konnten wir zumindest auf unseren eigenen Endzonen-Shot zurückgreifen. Besser als nichts. Aber ärgerlich war es schon, das genau das von uns zum Scouten benötigte Video so lange dauerte. USA-Finnland war bereits verfügbar.

Team Deutschland ist in Schweden angekommen

There is a preview of the Sweden game on the Ladiesfootball page:

http://www.ladiesbowl.de/text.php?Inhalt=newsmeldung&ID=5976&HP=Ladies

Otherwise the most important things of the day in short.

• Our team is there.
• From now on, the blog can again be more about the team than the work outside
• The first fans have arrived. At the last training we already had several battle hunters with us 🙂
• The starting teams have been determined. Gabi Duvinage will lead the team into the first international match. It is understandable that some players were disappointed. But also a good sign. Our players are hot for it, to go to the field for Germany. And that's good
• Our equipment bus arrived at the stadium after all
• We finally have the game videos from the first day of the game. There is still nothing on the WWC homepage.
• Tomorrow we have a power failure of 8:00 to 11:00 Clock and 13:00 to 14:00 Uhr. We have an emergency generator with us.
• The last meeting is over. Everyone can go to sleep now. Good night, tomorrow is going to be a great day….
