That was Own Goal's best so far. What a banger from distance!

They need to make a Mascot for 'Own Goal.'

A single representative entity that embodies the spirit of 'Own Goal.'

Maybe like something like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh.

Netherlands will be lucky to come out of this game with a draw.

Austria looks like they have way more energy than the Netherlands. Their fitness is superb

On a random note I love Austria’s disdain for the conventional kit numbering. Left back wearing 8? You bet. Central midfielder wearing 9? Of course!

The Dutch thought this was going to be a walk, but the Austrians are up for it. If Holland doesn't up their game the Netherlands is going to be in trouble.

Bingo!

Austria is going to be down a man or two soon if they keep this up. Some really stupid/aggressive challenges out there.

I haven’t seen as many games as some of you folks but I would say Austria is right up there with Spain as the most impressive teams of the tournament so far, especially in regards their expectations

There were 12 own goals in Russia 2018, in a 64 game tournament.

Much better effort by the Dutch. Let's get another.

No idea how Wimmer doesn't get another yellow on that last challenge and tossed from the game, the ball was 2 feet away when he kicked the shin.

And he helps set up a goal. Ref failure there.

Aw yeah! Austria definitely a pleasant surprise this tournament. I spent two years living there as a kid, so I'm definitely cheering for my manure-loving friends.

I don't know why but the Greendale Human Being seems like the perfect 'Own Goal' mascot

If this holds and the Netherlands finish 3rd, they probably play against C1

So England go into tonight's game knowing that in the next round, they either get Germany or Holland.
