predicted austrian meme lineup according to austrian news

If Alaba plays behind the striker, I will personally throw water balloons at that Swiss blockhead when he gets off the plane tomorrow

But seriously, 3-4-3 is the only formation that makes sense with this lineup

Junuzovic is not matchfit. Who would you put there? Sabitzer?

current points

it's fucking hilarious how the FA try pushing for >muh national players. fuck they all fucked off from Swansea and we're even better now they're gone.

if you told me we'd find a better center back than Ashley Williams 2 years ago I would've laughed. Now we've improved so fucking much without him loooooooooool

LITERALLY LAUGHING AT ALL THE KIDS SAID WE'D GET RELEGATED LOOOOOOOOOOOLFSDOASOFLDSAOFASLDO

IDIOTS LOOOOOOL HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO FUNNY

WE'VE UNIRONICALLY GOT A SUPERSTAR IN OUR TEAM LOL RENATO FUCKING SANCHES WEWWWWWWWWWWW

anyone but the guy who had 40% pass completion rate the last time he played there

Maybe even play without a No. 10 at all and instead go with Baumi as the defender and Laimer/Grillitsch in box-to-box roles in front of him. The fact that Grillitsch isn't playing is fucking criminal anyway, he's the only central midfielder who isn't a braindead marathon runner and can actually give structure

club before country

for muh fellow scum

rooting for upside down peru

shit anthem if you ask me. would prefer something more cachy like the GDR anthem desu

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mâd,
Tros ryddid gollasant eu gwaed.

>no Töchter

So this is the power of a diverse Europe....

Do the NT players actually sing Töchter, Söhne? Has someone read their lips recently?

comfy draw incoming

jesus mate calm down you've had a good run in the prem

>be me
>put the TV on the 2nd audio channel (English most of the time)
>go outside
>few days later
>watch football on ORF
>a commentator talking weird things
>get irritated
>oh it's the 2nd commentator on the 2nd audio channel
>change to 1st channel
>high quality commentating as expected

Seriously though Austrians what is the purpose of the second one?

>mfw Serbia is sending us their worst footballers

I'll drink to that

I'd use either the Dollfuß anthem, Deutschösterreich du herrliches Land, O du mein Österreich or the Bozner Bergsteigermarsch

>draw

>high quality commentating as expected
Are you joking right now?

...

Is Alaba this shit at Bayern too? He's been complete garbage in the national team for a while.

>force him to play off his actual position
>"why is he not as good for us as he is for Bayern"

gee I wonder

He's been nowhere near his best at Bayern as well.

he wants to play in the midfield for Austria.
reminds me of oxshit-championshiptier

>force
He likes this position better and Koller lets him play it. Too bad he's shit at it.

The second audio channel is for blind and visually impaired people

>oxshit-championshiptier
nice

Were are all the Welsh posters? Are they all at the match?

probably watching Spain la.

>Sabitzer
lamo

>Ruefer going off on some weird tangent the other night about how Seferovic would be playing for Austria right now if the battle of Sempach hadn't been won by the Swiss
Felt like a fever dream.

JUST

>Ilsanker

Makes sense, thanks.

>Prödlel

He's obsessed about Seferovic and the Sursee region. It's trolling at this point.

They'd probably have a better shot if they spoke out against the immigration and that

Im actually glad Prödl is off now.

THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF RAMSHIT

top lel this scene

>Lindner not going for the ball
Jesus Christ

WTF ARNAUTOVIC

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

>ASTRONAUTOVIC

why are wales diving so much wtf is going on

A bit of slagposting before I head off to the local.

I don't know who you mean, sorry.

i love slagposting

3,1,2 in that order.

This game has got 1-1 all over it, not good.

slegs. Anyway, I'm out. Until the next time.

>inb4 0-0
>Serbs qualify
>Ireland BTFO by medium-tier team in the playoffs

You just know it's going to happen like this

1 3 2
3 2 1 4

3,1,2

3,4,1,2

Do you think i look fat in that outfit, user?

nah it has nothing to do with the outfit, don't worry

...

B L A D

Is the Golden Age of Welsh football over?

They had a fluke.
And the easiest group imaginable last time.

Even with bale theyre not up to much

None of us are. This is the group of trash.

At least it's proper competition I suppose, some of the other groups are just two horse race.

please score

It's really open this group

Georgia are under rated desu, they done well against us in Cardiff and played well against the Irish today

Bale carried them to Euro 2016, but the weight of the team on his back is showing. This group is mediocre at best but they've really fucked it up and will likely miss out now.

Disgusting refball

fuck niggers

That's at least yellow ,wtf ref

>the absolute state of Alaba

>that corner from alashit

>bet both teams to score
>0-0
end me

ye, you're fucked lad

Still 25 mins left for both teams to cock up, theres still hope lad

6,4,8,12,5,7,9,1,11,2,10,3
