At the European Football Championship, the German women are rushing from victory to victory – and are already more successful than the men at the EM 2021. Chancellor Scholz is now demanding that the players be paid at the same level as the men. But would that make any sense at all?
Just a quick question: Which team is the DFB Cup winner for women? What is the name of the top scorer in the league? Who coaches the German women’s soccer champion? Difficult right? Anyone who knows the answers (VfL Wolfsburg, Lea Schüller, Tommy Stroot) can be considered an expert, even a nerd, and that says a lot about the size and prominence of women’s football in Germany.
