LYON, France (Reuters) - This year's World Cup will be a pivotal moment for German football as the sport is looking to restore some pride at women's and men's level, according to international defender Carolin Simon.
The 26-year-old full back, who joined Olympique Lyonnais this season from SC Freiburg, is hoping her recent experience at a top European club will help Germany find success again after a lack of results following the golden 2000s.
