How can Austrian fans be so delighted with that result???
They qualified in style and yet have been really poor at this tournament. Portugal aren't all that. Austria should have been looking to win this game, not just get a point out of it.

I thought the last 20 mins they were as good as portugal. Perhaps hoping they can do it for 90? They need something upfront though

They play Iceland next. . . . . .:lolol:

And at this rate will be lucky to get anything out of that game as well. Dodgy keeper aside, Iceland are well capable of getting a result in that game.

You may be right. But I was just explaining why their lot were having it large :bigwave:

Exactly, what was the point of that from an Austria perspective? Congratulations you've just secured bottom of your group with that utterly negative performance.

Great slow mo shot of Ronaldo's boat race when he leapt for that second half chance, his features morphing into something quite Frankensteinesque before he returned to Earth and plastic tanned parity was restored.

Now we could up playing the buggers. I'd rather avoid Portugal.

i dont understand this viewpoint. we manage to screw up against he most pedestrian of teams anyway. besides, if we do avoid them, we'll only have to play the team that beat them eventually anyway. Whats the point in progressing against weak teams if you're only going to get whalloped by the first half decent team you play.Not picking on you specifically, but i have heard this a lot in recent years and i've never understood it.

What Austria really needed was an injection of pace. There were gaps when the game opened up in the 2nd half last night, but Austria didn't really have anyone to exploit them with blistering counter attacks.

Still think Portugal will make it through. If they beat Hungary in their last match, 5 points will more than likely be enough to top the group. I don't see Pyjamaman having quite such an inspired evening in goal as Austria's keeper did last night.
