Playing for Clubs
Nadine Angerer was born in Lohr am Main, Germany. She started playing football as a forward, which means she tried to score goals. But one day, she filled in as a goalkeeper during a youth game. That's when people saw her amazing talent for stopping shots!
In 1995, she joined 1. FC Nürnberg. A year later, she moved to FC Wacker München. From 1999 to 2001, she played for FC Bayern Munich. She helped them get promoted to Germany's top league, the Bundesliga.
Success with Turbine Potsdam
In 2001, Angerer joined 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam. This was a very successful time for her. With Potsdam, she won two German league titles. She also won the German Cup three times. In the 2004–05 season, her team won the UEFA Women's Cup. This is a big European club competition.
After seven years, Angerer left Potsdam in 2008. She played for Djurgårdens IF Dam in Sweden for one season. Then, in 2009, she returned to Germany to play for 1. FFC Frankfurt. She won the German Cup again with Frankfurt in 2011. She became the team's captain after Birgit Prinz retired.

Becoming Germany's Top Goalkeeper
Before the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup, Silke Rottenberg got injured. This meant Angerer became the starting goalkeeper. She had an amazing tournament! She did not let in a single goal during the entire World Cup. This set a record of 540 minutes without conceding a goal. In the final against Brazil, she even blocked a penalty kick from the famous player Marta. Germany won the final 2–0.
Angerer continued to be Germany's main goalkeeper. She played in the 2008 Summer Olympics, where Germany won a bronze medal. She also won the European Championship for the fourth time in 2009. This was the first time she was a starter for Germany in that tournament. In 2011, she played her 100th game for Germany during the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.
