straight ahead to the quarter-finals

Pre-tournament competition is high as earlier today Coach Hickersberger announced his goals of reaching the quarter-finals, “We want to absolutely reach the quarter final”. He reiterated to do so, Austria will need to earn four points between Croatia and Poland and will definitely rely upon home advantage.

It is still unclear whether Austria will use a 3-5-2 or a 4-4-2 formation however it is expected that Coach Hickersberger will announce tomorrow whether Juergen Macho or Alexander Manninger will get the starting goalkeeper duties this Sunday.
