Austria feel like one of those teams that understand exactly who they are.
There’s very little romance to them and very little waste. They press hard, run relentlessly, attack space quickly, and make matches feel uncomfortable for opponents. Against Jordan, the 3-1 scoreline wasn’t spectacular so much as professional.
If Argentina are one of the tournament’s artists, Austria look like one of its engineers. Not necessarily the team everyone is talking about, but very much the kind of team nobody wants to play once the tournament starts narrowing.
I agree!! Austria’s greatest strength may be that they don’t spend much time trying to be anything other than Austria, and that makes them a treat to watch! Can’t say the same about many teams!

They have this almost meticulous aggression that is honestly a treat to watch.
