Captain Alexandra Popp does not want to give any guarantee about her participation in the World Cup if the German women's soccer team successfully qualifies.

The 31-year-old from VfL Wolfsburg told the broadcaster Sky about a possible career end in the national team, in which she has already played 119 games, that this topic is always present in her head. Your gut will make the decision.

"As of now, I say I want to play the World Cup," emphasized Popp. "But it's also possible that in the next six months something will happen to me that my gut says, that's it. So the topic is pretty open."

The European Championship runners-up can today confirm their participation in the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand next year. In the penultimate qualifying game in Bursa against Turkey, they would not be able to take the ticket away if they won.
