At 28 years old, Sara Dabritz has enjoyed a successful career, winning several titles with Germany and in club football.

However, the midfielder acknowledges that it is becoming more challenging to secure major trophies as the women's game continues to grow in depth and quality.

Having achieved victories in Euros and Olympics with Germany, as well as German and French league titles with Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain respectively, Dabritz is now in Australia, aiming to add more medals to her collection at the Women's World Cup.

Germany kicked off their campaign with an impressive 6-0 win against Morocco. Despite their strong start, Dabritz is aware that other potential contenders have struggled against lower-ranked teams, highlighting the increasing competitiveness in women's football.

"It is a really positive development," she told reporters at the team base on Friday.

"I think it's great to watch women's football and you can really see a lot of exciting games, balanced games at this World Cup.

"It's noticeable that even the supposedly small nations have really caught up and are physically present, but are also really good at defending.

"That's why it's simply outstanding that it's developed in such a way that you meet such a world championship where you just don't know who's going to win the game. It makes football more exciting."

Germany celebrate beating MoroccoThe rise in quality of the women's game will, of course, make it tougher for Germany to win a third world title but Dabritz has confidence her team has what it takes.

"I do think it's getting more difficult to win titles now because the favourites and the level at such a tournament have developed upwards," she added.

"It doesn't make it any easier, but I think that first of all, we have an outstanding squad in terms of quality, an outstanding team, and above all, this spirit."

Next up for Germany in Sydney on Sunday are 25th-ranked Colombia, who impressed in their Group H opener with a 2-0 win over South Korea.

"Against Colombia, transition will play an important role, whether it is forward or backward," Dabritz said.

"When we had the ball (against Morocco), you could see that we had a phase where we were perhaps imprecise, where we had a few unnecessary ball losses, and that can be dangerous against(Colombia), when they start their counter-attack at speed."
