bestbrother Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I think ive gone low in the prediction competition, but my gut is changing.. I can smell goals here.. 6-4 Austria. Game of the tournament. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tikka Mezzala Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Just like Finland yesterday, I like watching the underdogs. This game will mean everything to people in North Macedonia, just like tomorrow will for Scotland. Best of luck to them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tikka Mezzala Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 As a spectacle, I'm hoping this one is better than the Croatia game. Less big names on the field doesn't necessarily mean a boring game. Not sure what to expect from North Macedonia. Not sure how Austria play either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Since, er, what is their name this year? Former country known as FYROM North Macedonia, home of Alexander the Great, recently won against Germany, Austria will be warned, I suppose. Then again, Austria will not attack like the Germans. I can see this ending in a scoreless draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFuller Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 When Alexander of Macedonia was 33, he cried salt tears because there were no more worlds to conquer. Aleksandar Trajkovski is only 28. I think North Macedonia will win one match at their first tournament... just not this one. 2-1 to Austria. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunmaN1905 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Macedonia's team is actually half-decent. I don't think Austria has a much better team than them, other than Alaba being the biggest name. Evenly matched game. Hopefully we see an early goal and it turns into a classic. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakiie Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 While these kind of matches can be fun occasionally, I don't see Macedonia trying much of anything nor do I see Austria having the quality to overrun them. Probably a scrappy 1-0 for Austria, unless they get lucky with an early goal that forces Macedonia to go forward. Although even with a goal down I doubt Macedonia will really try to attack.

Tikka Mezzala Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 This isn't a 'not all about England' post, but are we going to get to hear about either of these teams on ITV? I was hoping for a bit of background about them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldy Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I think this could be an absolute cracking game, Austria has the capability to thrash teams like this but there are also those days where Austria can't string a pass together and lose to these kind of teams.
