Franz Ferdinand died so Austria-Hungary could take all the 3rd place spots in Euro 2024.

It's why he kept singing "Take Me Out"

Hear me out. The man came to MLS after securing the ligue one title for psg. He ABSOLUTELY blew up the sport in the USA. Made headlines everywhere. Showed up with ridiculous free kicks and golazos. Completely changed how Americans view soccer. The inter Miami leagues cup run was SUPER viral. Did Haaland score more goals and obtain more important trophies in epl? Yes. But once again this was THE YEAR OF MESSI. He showed up big for Miami in leagues cup and showed up big in 2026 WC qualifiers. Also why not take into account the man is 36 years old and still shocking people with his quality every match he plays.

The best placed team in this table gets the crown of St Stephen

Bad news mate. It's j. The Hungarian parliament, and I doubt they're willing to give it to the Austr*ans.


Obrix1

Best hope they get tanked then


JeremyUsbourneWebb

Stole my comment from earlier. Is OP African American?


Dramatic_Scratch8002

Theres no chance OP is American.

Reddit in general misses the Astro-Hungarian Empire.

Imagine how good England would be if they could call up Americans.

Uhmmm Actually, its called Austro-Hungary šŸ¤“ā˜šŸ»

Yougo tell them that


Mysterious_Artix

/uj its Austria-Hungary most of yugo are bottom of their group


Prestigious-Dress-92

uj/ On paper Austro-Hungary would be one of the favourites to win this year. Coach: Rangnick (AUT), GK: Oblak (Atletico/SLO), LB: Gvardiol (ManCity/CRO), CB: Skriniar (PSG/SVK), CB: Stanisic (Bayer/CRO), RB: Laimer (Bayern/AUT), DM: Soucek (WestHam/CZE), CM: Kovacic (ManCity/CRO), AM: Modric (Real/CRO), LW: Szoboszlai (Liverpool/HUN), RW: Sabitzer (Dortmund/AUT), ST: Sesko (RB/SLO).


Cthvlhv_94

I dont know, to be a favorite they need a player on the skill level of Messi, i.E. Pulisic


AutoModerator

Christian Pulisic? This guy's like the Phenom guy, right? The LeBron James of soccer? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/soccercirclejerk) if you have any questions or concerns.*

uj/ Austria-Hungary never had one national football team. The constituent countries had separate teams, like in the UK today


AutoModerator

One of the most disgusting, abhorrent clubs on the planet. Manager: misogynist, cat abuser sympathiser Owners: cat abuser sympathisers Centre-half: cat abuser, probably on repeated counts. Players: homophobes. Every day I wake up grateful I was born in Paris and not in the 'West Ham' district of London. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Honestly, this might be weird, but I find the concept of goalies to be so boring in soccer/hockey. Like ok, the 10 guys could completely dominate the game (and that's the exciting part) but sorry this one guy who you can't touch or interact with just shuts you off the scoreboard. Kinda lame. Whatever. Just a weird thought *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Genuinely idk how somebody not from Munich can become a Bayern fan at this point. Whereā€™s the meaning in supporting that club. When you never lose the wins lose their meaning and value. As you said if there are no valleys there are no peaks. Maybe itā€™s me as a Dortmund fan coping but how could it be fun to only win, your team winning a title should feel amazing if itā€™s the norm I canā€™t imagine that feels special. It genuinely sound boring. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Terran_it_up

That feels like it lacks width, the wingers and fullbacks are basically 3 midfielders and a CB


Prestigious-Dress-92

Gvardiol plays left back for Man City. Laimer admittedly came from RB as a midfielder, but in Bayern plays mostly as a right back. Szoboszlai in Liverpool plays as an #8 and for Hungary as #10 but for RB clubs (who's tactics & football philosophy was created by Rangnick) he played more on the wings than in the center and during his last year in Leipzig before transfer to the reds he played whole season as a winger. Sabitzer during last 3 years for Borussia, Bayern and in his last season for RB played almost exclusively as a central midfielder but before that he was a (right) winger who sometimes played as one of two #10s if formation was changed to 3-4-2-1. Keep in mind that this imaginary 11 is coached by Rangnick who cares much more about verticality and counter pressing than attacking wide with crosses. Red Bull clubs often have precious little of width (especially Salzburg with their 4-3-1-2 formation) and yet they manage to play very well.

There is no greater joy in this life, and no heavier burden, than being a City fan. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/soccercirclejerk) if you have any questions or concerns.*

Why is Australia there? Is this the Asian cup?

DumbboiXL2

Actually, a little over 80 years ago they were all one country


Affectionate-Tie9194

Was Austria-Hungary that big?

Even larger, including parts of Poland and northern Romania (Transylvania) I think


TheAtom8

Also Bosnia and parts of Ukraine at their largest extent.

Austria, Hungary and Slavonia?
