Who do you want to win ? By party preference (500 Austrian voters polled by Unique Research):



Overall (all 500 voters): 18% Germany, 12% Spain, 11% Brazil, 6% Italy

SPÖ-voters back Brazil.

ÖVP-voters back Spain.

FPÖ-voters back Germany.

Green-voters are about split between Spain, Brazil and Germany.

NEOS-voters back Italy.

The Spain-Netherlands match is the match I want to see. That 2010 final loss still hurts in the Netherlands, my co-workers who are Dutch talk about that World Cup final loss it every day.

The Brazilian defense seems to prefer attacking rather than defending...

Brazil underestimated Croatia? Anyway, Brazil losing would be hilarious, but I doubt it will happen once they wake up.

So the first goal of the competition was self inflicted... and from Brazil no less. ROFL.
