Austria got the upper-hand in 1848... can Hungary hit them right back?

EDIT: Can we please call this the Habsburg Derby?

Austria is my dark horse team. Hope they make a deep run this tournament.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Unfortunately will miss the match but will watch later on ESPN3, looking forward to see Austria while I think Hungary is one of the weaker teams in this tournament, debate with Northern Ireland

 

[Live in the Now]

Hungary's team is weak but I could see Dzsudzsak and Szalai causing some problems.

Austria is my dark horse team. Hope they make a deep run this tournament.

I'm skeptical about how far they can really go. But they should be a lot of fun to watch with Alaba and Junuzovic bossing the midfield.

...ideally with Grillitsch behind them, and Sabitzer+Schopf+ up front.

They should get through the group and could go a round or two into the knockouts as well. But I just don't know if they can get more than 1 or 2 wins in the knockouts.

So now it's time for Hungary! Love the country & team, so I'm going to really be interested in seeing how/if they can hold up against this Austria team.

It'll be Marc Janko up front. Koller is famous for not experimenting with lineups.

 

[Alklha]

This is a game that is going to need an early goal.

If Hungary are going to be playing a heavily defensive style then Austria will struggle to break them down. Austria are the vastly superior team, but they appear to lack creativity.

So it took just a little less than a century for Austria-Hungary to turn from an empire into a legit football match... As a follower of German Bundesliga, Austria presents the largest collection of well-known players. But it is very interesting to see an almost "exotic" team like Hungary - one of the huge advantages of the increase in teams.

Austria actually has more players on its roster from the German BL than Germany does!

Ilsanker and Baumgartlinger are excellent players, and I'd still take either of them over Grillitsch.

That's actually pretty funny.

 

[Bon Esprit]

Austria has the better team, so they might win that one.

I hope to see Alaba and/or Harnik score.

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Holy crap Alaba

Kiraly is wearing goalkeeper pants

 

[takk]

Kiraly is wearing goalkeeper pants

Nothing new, he wore those throughout his career. Nice to see him in a big tournament

 

[Bon Esprit]

Kiraly is wearing goalkeeper pants

He's legendary for that. I've never seen something different on him. The good old grey ones, of course.

 

[Bon Esprit]

Funny, but AFAIK Hungary always had their own team.

 

[BSHH]

Does anyone want a stupid trivia question? Just like Northern Ireland, Hungary has been absent from the biggest football stages for 30 years. This is true for two other countries as well - which ones?

You're correct, as a quick Google search has told me. Funny nonetheless when one hears that the game is "Austria-Hungary"

I'll guess Albania and Iceland.

 

[Bon Esprit]

Oh boy, Harnik

 

[TP]

Terrible pass.
