I was talking about watching games on TV. I wouldn't go through the trouble of going to a stadium to watch our national team. Rightly so, because yesterday they looked just like I remembered them. They had a good start, but after 15 minutes it became the worst game of the tournament when both teams displayed poor pass accuracy. Hungary didn't have a good scoring chance until the second half, but they played really well against an Austrian team that got worse by the minute.
I said that four points will be enough to reach the round of 16, but considering how tough Iceland looked, that's going to take a miracle. Portugal was dominant and looked like the best team in the group (expected), so how is Austria supposed to get a win and a draw in the two remaining games. I suppose that the reactive role will suit them better, but Portugal is going to be pretty pissed after their draw, so a 4-0 loss of Austria wouldn't surprise me on Saturday.

Wow, pretty amazing that a guy who's interested in football doesn't follow his national team. But if I understand it right, it's cos of the endless disappointments.
This year Austria had a good team compared to 2008. But now it's gonna be tough to make the knockout phase.

To be fair I never got to see the German national team either. You'd think they play more often in Berlin, but since I live here (~3 years) they only had one game here (very recently in fact) and for that I was already too late to get tickets. Well they lost the game, so it wasn't too bad lol.
