While our attention has been elsewhere, Manchester City have splashed £116m on Elliot Anderson. Chelsea, not to be outshone, have splurged £117m on Morgan Rogers. Even Tottenham have parted with £230m to revamp their mildly traumatised squad. Manchester United, who went down to Wrexham in their first pre-season friendly in Helsinki, have kept things modest, buying Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans for the same £85m Spurs have thrown in the direction of relegation’s West Ham for Mateus Fernandes.I was pleased with a lot of things that I saw in the game. We could do better. We could have taken more responsibility to have the ball instead of just watching and reacting … efficiency is very important at this level. When you don’t kill, you get killed” – new Hearts boss Wouter Vrancken chooses to focus on the positives after the, erm, 4-0 tonking by Sturm Graz in the first leg of their Bigger Cup qualifier.How’s your World Cup hangover? I must have been bored because I couldn’t help but notice that Tuesday was a rough day for British, Irish and British Overseas Territory club teams in Bigger Cup. Not only were Hearts, Larne, Shamrock Rovers and Lincoln Red Imps all beaten in their second qualifying round first legs, they didn’t manage a single goal among them! Rovers’ Cape Verdean Pico Lopes went from taking Argentina to extra time in Miami just a few weeks ago, to getting blanked by Ararat in Armenia. Larne were were given no home comforts on the coast of Northern Ireland by Red Star Belgrade, who brought on Marko Arnautovic, the Austria veteran who retired from his national side after exiting the GWC at the hands of Spain. Football just rolls on and on” – Peter Oh.Here we go again, another new face in the top job, you know the drill by now. Smiles, handshakes and social media soundbites. Claims of ‘understanding why people have been frustrated’, promises of ‘change’ and ‘progress’. Speculation about who’s being brought in to play a key role, and who’s out of favour. Sooner or later, the realisation there is no time or trust to make the difficult long-term changes everyone knows are necessary. Media pressure, infighting, the ‘need to act before it’s too late’. Out the door to be replaced by the next great hope, mainly distinguishable by having a different accent. All of which to say, good luck to Alessio Dionisi at Watford this season.

After 28 years of absence, Austria returned to the World Cup, reaching the 2026 edition. Although they arrived with little expectation, head coach Ralf Rangnick led them to the knockout stage. As a result, they have marked a historic milestone, so we are going to review their journey. Throughout World Cup history, Austria have not been one of the strongest national teams in the tournament. Relying on a young sporting project, they already have several stars such as David Alaba, Marcel Sabitzer, and Konrad Laimer in their roster, who are now veterans. However, they went 28 years without qualifying for the tournament before making a major impact in this edition under Ralf Rangnick. Austria have qualified for eight editions of the World Cup, leaving a great legacy in their early appearances. After several years of accumulating average performances and absences, they played in the 1998 edition, where they were eliminated in the group stage. Following 28 years without playing in another edition, they returned in the 2026 World Cup, where they were not expected to perform well. Despite losing to Argentina, Ralf Rangnick’s team managed to defeat Jordan and draw against Algeria, reaching the knockout stage and surprising many. Although Austria have a strong squad, they are still far from matching their best performances in the tournament’s history. Although they have never won the title, they did leave an important legacy at the beginning of the 20th century. How far have Austria advanced in the World Cup? Head coach Hugo Meisl led Austria to their first World Cup in 1934. There, they managed to impress with their collective style of play, reaching the semifinals of the tournament. Although they seemed ready to establish a legacy, they disappeared from the tournament for 20 years, not returning until the 1954 World Cup. In that edition, they managed to finish in third place. However, their level declined considerably in the next editions. Marko Arnautovic #7 of Austria celebrates after scoring After disappointing in the 1958 edition, Austria were absent from the tournament for 20 years, returning for the 1978 edition. Surprisingly, they managed to reach the Second Group Stage, an old format that featured mini-leagues, finishing among the top eight teams in the tournament. They then made an impact again at the 1982 World Cup, also reaching the Second Group Stage, but this time finishing among the top 12 teams.

They reached the semifinals, where they were defeated by Switzerland. Nonetheless, they went on to face Uruguay in the third-place match, securing a 3–1 victory. After 72 years, they have not managed to repeat a similar performance in the tournament.
In this ruthless, sudden-death arena, the final result will dictate fate itself: crowning one nation as a continuing contender for ultimate glory, while condemning the other to a devastating and abrupt exit. A defining hour approaches for Spain this Thursday as it steps onto the North American stage for a monumental 2026 World Cup Round of 32 collision with Austria. In this ruthless, sudden-death arena, the final result will dictate fate itself: crowning one nation as a continuing contender for ultimate glory, while condemning the other to a devastating and abrupt exit. Spain and Austria will meet at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles in one of the standout Round of 32 fixtures. The reigning European champion enters the contest after topping Group H with seven points, while Austria booked its place in the knockout stage by finishing second in Group J following a dramatic draw against Algeria. La Roja arrives as one of the tournament favorites after remaining unbeaten in 34 consecutive matches across all competitions and without conceding a goal during the group stage. Das Team, meanwhile, returns to the World Cup knockout rounds for the first time since 1954, giving Ralf Rangnick’s side the chance to write another chapter in its history. Spain’s journey to the Round of 32 has been solid rather than spectacular. After opening with a goalless draw against Cape Verde, La Roja responded by defeating Saudi Arabia 4-0 before edging Uruguay 1-0, securing first place in Group H.

A 96th-minute equalizer from Sasa Kalajdzic against Algeria rescued a 3-3 draw, ensuring Rangnick’s team progressed behind Argentina in Group J. Although Austria conceded six goals during the group stage, the squad has also demonstrated impressive attacking quality by scoring six times in three matches PosTeamGPW-D-LPtsStatus1.Argentina33-0-09Qualified2.Austria31-1-14Qualified3.Algeria31-1-14Qualified (Best 3rd)4.Jordan30-0-30Eliminated What happens if Spain wins and Austria loses? If Spain defeats Austria, either in regular time, extra time, or after a penalty shootout, La Roja will advance to the Round of 16. Lamine Yamal of Spain celebrates after scoring his first World Cup goal. Their next opponent would be the winner of Portugal vs. Croatia, setting up another heavyweight European showdown. Victory in that match would send Spain into the quarterfinals, where another difficult challenge would await from the section of the bracket containing teams such as the United States and Belgium. Advancing would also reinforce Lamine Yamal’s side’s status as one of the leading contenders for the world title after an impressive defensive start that has seen the team concede zero goals through the group stage. What happens if the match is level after 90 minutes? Unlike the group stage, a draw cannot be the final outcome in the knockout rounds. Pedri may be firm in Spain’s lineup If Spain and Austria are tied after regulation, the match will proceed to 30 minutes of extra time. Should the deadlock persist, the winner would be decided by a penalty shootout, with the victorious nation advancing to face Portugal or Croatia. In other words, a draw after 90 minutes keeps both teams alive, but only one can advance once the match concludes. What happens if Austria wins and Spain loses? If Austria eliminates Spain, it would produce one of the tournament’s biggest surprises. Marko Arnautovic #7 of Austria celebrates after scoring Rangnick’s side would advance to the Round of 16 to meet either Portugal or Croatia, inheriting Spain’s position in the knockout bracket. Austria would also keep alive hopes of reaching a World Cup quarterfinal for the first time in generations after already ending a decades-long wait for another knockout appearance. For Spain, defeat would i
Austria surprised everyone at the 2026 World Cup, securing their place as runners-up in the knockout stage. As a result, they received an upgrade in the FIFA Men's World Ranking before facing Spain in the Round of 32. Austria managed to remain competitive at the 2026 World Cup, advancing to the knockout stage as runners-up. Although they lost to Argentina, they managed to defeat Jordan and draw against Algeria, showing great attacking power. Despite not being top contenders, head coach Ralf Rangnick has already managed to raise their competitiveness. As a result, they have received an upgrade in the FIFA Men’s World Ranking before facing Spain. According to the FIFA Men’s World Ranking, Austria are ranked 23rd place with 1598.82 points. They have gained one position in the ranking due to their knockout stage spot. However, they have managed to significantly improve their international standing compared to their 105th position in July 2008. However, they have yet to match their highest-ever ranking, which was 10th in March of 2016. Despite gaining one place in the rankings, Ralf Rangnick’s team remains quite far from Spain’s top spot. Luis de la Fuente’s team are ranked 3rd with 1879.58 points, making them favorites to secure the victory. However, they face huge struggles with injuries as Nico Williams remain with physical problems, losing one of the most important players. With this in mind, all eyes will be on Lamine Yamal’s huge talent. Austria have managed to surprise at the 2026 World Cup. Not only did they qualify as runners-up, but they have also imposed a very attacking style of play. Head coach Ralf Rangnick has managed to implement a ‘gegenpressing’ approach that shines against attacking teams. Because of this, they could look to surprise Spain, led by Marcel Sabitzer, who is one of their most important attacking leaders. Marko Arnautovic #7 of Austria celebrates after scoring Ralf Rangnick’s defensive strategy is key for Austria to beat Spain Unlike Spain, Austria are not a team full of game-changing players on the wings. Instead, they have a strong collective strategy that is very physical. For this, Marcel Sabitzer and Konrad Laimer are key, as they create space with their vision of the game. However, Ralf Rangnick has one major challenge: Defensive solidity to limit Lamine Yamal’s explosive dribbling skills. Luis de la Fuente’s team is expected to center their whole game around Lamine Yamal. If Austria look to limit him, they may need to defend in zones, with several players surrounding him. By repeating a similar strategy to the one Cape Verde used against Spain, they may be able to limit their attacking threat. Nonetheless, David Alaba, Philipp Lienhart, and Stefan Posch need to shine in defense, avoiding mistakes that could lead to a goal.
