Geez man, is the goalkeeper made of glass? Are you not allowed to make a fair challenge on the ball if the keeper makes a play on it?



You can't run into the goalie in hockey either



FIFA let it be known that they weren't going to allow it in the tournament, even if that's a strategy used in European Club play

That’s been coming. Austria can’t even get out of their own half.

They aren't done. Spain has at least one more in them today.

I took Austria +1.5 and am regretting it

Spain have been in complete control.

I realize that people think we should be worried about facing Spain, but I'm not sure if I can agree with that.


I can't get a good read on their true strength because of the fact that this Austrian team is sloooooow.


I can't tell if they are as fast or faster than the US.



ETA: I mean...they drew to Cabo Verde

Oh man

Austria are so slow to react. How did they not even get a shot off just now

Looks like Landon and Ian didn't recognize Jayden Daniels.

Austrian goalie is having a really good day. This should probably be 3-0 right now.

Watching this Austrian striker, number 11, makes me believe I could get back out there and play.

He’s so slow and unathletic it’s actually shocking.

Or conversely: 1-1. Austrian strikers are too slow to get a shot off.

If they were faster on the trigger they had a few clean looks they could have converted

He looks exactly like my best friend growing up. Could be his twin.


Back in high school our goalie couldn't make it to a game so we put him in goal. He kept proclaiming "I AM THE WALL!"


After a couple of goals went past he proclaimed "I AM THE CHAIN-LINK FENCE!"

We should be worried because they're technically better than us at most every position

And Oyarzabal is no El Nino, but he's definitely the right replacement for Morata. They get good play at the 9 and they're beating most everyone

We could score on them, but I don't see how our backline stays disciplined for 65% Spanish possession and their superior mid/wing play

Hopefully Austria put on their P.F. Flyers for this half. They need all the help they can get

Austria is losing shape and can barely keep possession. Spain might be content to just play horizontal but they could easily put in 3 more
