Austria hasn't beaten Germany in a tournament since the two sides met at the 1978 World Cup. Before that meeting, it had been 37 years since Austria beat W Germany. :D

Needless to say, history -- among other things -- will be on Germany's side this coming Monday.

I just agreed to watch this game with an Austrian last night... I think I'll switch sides and come in red and white, don't care that much about Germany anyways.

So the Austrians believe we're scared shitless now...

[squidward123]

if I had to choose, I'd say it's better than having scolari call us the best squad in the tournament

We definitly looked scared shitless against Croatia...

[jpAustria]

Our "semi-German" wants to heat up things a little bit.

Well i guess, we gonna need some serious offensive help, maybe Lehmann could help a little bit.:)

[Lusankya]

Austria is so bad, we can play with ten strikers and Lehmann alone ensures our x-0 victory.
They wouldn't score a goal if we play without a goalkeeper.

[frankwhite]

By no stretch of imagination Austria can beat Germany. The difference between the players quality is just too huge. If not everything goes wrong, Germany will do it to the quarter finals - where Portugal is waiting. This will be a great game.

Hmmm, your avatar is very strange then...

Please tell this to our players, so they get their confidence back! ;)

I'm sure that our manager & players won't think like you ... especially not after our friendly in Vienna some months ago, our performance against Croatia and Austria's games against Croatia & Poland!

There's no reason to understimate the hosts ... not in our current situation with the whole pressure of facing an upset!

It's gonna be a very tough game, but I bet we'll see another German team than it was the case against Croatia!

[squidward123]

if germany f this up against austria, it'll be the biggest upset in german football since 1954

You think Austria would make this day their national holiday should they win?

[Lahmfan]

Lets hope for a draw or a win.. austria can be really lucky and win this game!

[squidward123]

You think Austria would make this day their national holiday should they win?

can't rule that out...lol

na prolly wouldn't be allowed to, but yeah...

holiday for a week maybe for everyone from the day of the match?

[Todorov]

With a little bit of luck and an impartial referee (the most difficult part), I think Austria can win this one.

I'll be rooting for them! :cool:

Austria 1-0 Germany.

Liked the burned chicken comment. Plus I am not anti-German. NBot sure whom to support on monday, prolly will end up supporting germany though because everybody expects me to do it...

[SONICMASD]

I see no way that the Austrians can beat Germany if the Germans actually come out prepared. I've never seen Germany play so bad as against Croatia, that won't happen again.

[ForeverRed]

A lot of overconfidence again huh? Surprises and big upsets can happen even in the most unimaginable circumstances. Austria is especially poised to pull an upset. They have their home fans to cheer them on, qualification to the quarter finals and ever important historic rivalry. You can't get more motivation than that.

If any German supporter or neutral observer thinks this is in the bag for Germany already, you may just end up incredibly shocked. The Jeckyl & Hyde form of Germany may continue.
