A few months ago, these teams met in a friendly game. Now, they are in the knockout stage of the European championship. It couldn’t be better for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ralf Rangnick and his squad have showcased excellent football in Germany and before, during the qualifiers and the test period, so it’s no wonder they ended first in the group ahead of France and the Netherlands. That’s a surprise, but if you saw how these guys played, you wouldn’t be that shocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This unit plays very aggressive football on defense, while on the offensive side, they are quick and aren’t complicated at all. This strategy has paid off handsomely. In just two of their last ten matches, Austria has failed to net at least twice\u2014a feat that only a select few teams in the championship can boast of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
