National team captain Alexandra Popp does not see the crowd for the upcoming international match of the DFB women in Dresden as pressure. However, after the hype of the European Championship, the runners-up are "aware that we have to continue to deliver," the 31-year-old said on Tuesday: "But that's also what we expect of ourselves, to show good and successful soccer." Around 24,000 tickets have been sold so far for Friday's rematch of the European Championship semifinal against France at Rudolf Harbig Stadium.
