Revival Hits Austria
Revival for the Football team that is!
A magnificent victory over France last night (3:1) is the cap on a series of great matches. Only a few weeks ago they drew 2:2 against World Champions Italy, and there were a further two balls in the back of the net that were disallowed. Prior to that there was a game against the Netherlands where they threw away a 3:0 lead. Now in a proper International (World Cup 2010 qualifier) they’ve beaten one of the top teams in Europe, the World Cup runners up, and beaten them convincingly. All this after a highly disappointing Euro 2008 campaign.
What next? Well with games away against Lithuania and the Faroe Islands next, there’s a great chance that Austria can go into the late Autumn top of their qualifying group.
The country hasn’t see scenes like those below since 1955…
 Hmm, I’m unsuprised that you didn’t choose to blog on England’s football performance (although I’m scottish, which is even worse!) :-)
Austria is the new Scotland then :)
Well done to the brothers in law (Hungarians refer to Austrians this way) and good luck.
