Who says you'll lose. France came home form the last World Cup without a single goal despite the fact that they were champion before. Anything is possible as Slovenia is not that bad.

Our team (Austria) lost 3:1 to the Netherlands lately but we ARE bad. My best friend and I were actually rooting for the Netherlands
After every match people keep saying: "We were fighting bravely, defense was good,..." but nobody mentions that
+ Austria has no good strikers.
+ Our players make only 1 out of 10 one-on-ones against an enemy goalkeeper
+ we are a bad soccer nation

Only one or two years ago we lost 0-9 against Spain. That's not bad luck or coincidence!
I mean nobody is attacking our running coaches when it turns out that our athletes can't run as fast as Ato Boldon. We just accept it. As well as the Nigerians accept that they have no chance against our skiing team.
Why is everybody so obsessed about soccer here when a comparison between the German and the Austrian "Bundesliga" shows that we are playing on their C League levels.
