Olaf Lange

I honestly, I'm gonna be completely transparent with you, I was in a tie before the third and fourth place game.

I was torn between Miguel Mendez and Olaf Lange.

Olaf Lange, amazing coach, one of my, one of my favorites in the tournament.

He guided this German side to an histo- historic semifinal.

And if he was able to pull it off in the fi- in the bronze medal game against Spain, I think I would lean his way, just because, once again, rewarding winning.

This is a squad that can clear- could clearly have crumbled after the defeat against Mali, especially after being so dominant in the opening round.

But he did an amazing job guiding those women to a medal and just keeping them, keeping them level-headed, and he deserves this Best Coach of the Tournament award.

And shout out to Olaf Lange, like I did in every single episode.

Um, and then to get to your first World Cup semifinal on home court with your fans cheering for you, like, what a moment for Leonie Fiebich, who is German.

What a homecoming moment for Olaf Lange, who was born in, in Berlin as well.

Um, yeah, just super...

Like, what w- w- like, take, take me inside of that.

And, and then since then, yeah, they're, they're well-coached.

Olaf Lange has done a really good job with this team, and they're maximizing their, their talent.

They've changed the lineup a little bit.

Alexis Petersen missed a game, which I presume was because she picked up an injury.
