All Germans better hope that Austria doesn't lose today or else we would have the perfect setup for another Cordoba.

30 years ago, Austria was already eliminated before their final game while Germany still had the chance to qualify for the next round. We all know how that ended. The defending champion had to travel home.

Oh, and the Dutch finished second in that tournament. Good times.

Like all Austrian football fans, you mention Cordoba too often and you miss the point that this historical win is always more a burden for the Austrian team, not for the German one. I recommend you this interesting article on the subject:

Austrian football has to get over Cordoba, not to try repeating the same thing. If the Austrian team wins next Monday, it would be just a great win in Wien (but I bet all Austrian football fans would label it a 2nd Cordoba).

Anyway: Game starts in minute. Good luck to all Austrian and Polish football fans on this site.
