After passing the endurance test: now it goes to the boiler

De Nati passed the first endurance test at the World Cup. Of course she needed a strong keeper. And she needed the luck of the attack. Thanks to the team’s fighting spirit and togetherness, the point was not stolen – on the contrary. If the Swiss had used the available space even better, a victory would have been possible.

The national team also endured the first setbacks of such a tournament. The absence of Defense Chief Luana Bühler: no problem. The trip to Hamilton and the bad weather: neither. And even the bizarre failure of Ada Hegerberg seconds before kick-off did not upset the Nati. The team seems strong and focused. Everyone knows their role – on and off the field.

The biggest challenge for the national team is now on Sunday. A cauldron is waiting for them in the covered and sold-out Dunedin stadium. For the young players it is the highlight of their career so far.

That the hosts finish in the grand final is no surprise and has been the logical scenario since the draw. The starting position is very good thanks to two strong performances. The door to the round of 16 is wide open, now all you have to do is enter.
