Austria v Croatia - Prepare to be Aust-ed

Situated between Mozambique and Thailand in FIFA's World Rankings, it would be a big surprise if co-hosts Austria even scored a goal at Euro 2008, let alone win a match.

Despite a seemingly impossible task, head coach Josef Hickersberger is optimistic ahead of their opening Group B match with Croatia.

"With a good day and some luck, anything is possible," he declared, as we thought, 'perhaps today is the day Jessica Alba visits us at the Paddy Power Plaza wearing nothing but that suit from the Fantastic 4.'

Yeah, not bloody likely!

Considering they've only won one match in their last fourteen, there's not much hope for the Austrians.

Will their first match end in Cro-tastrophy?
