Just got back from the qualifier between Sweden and Austria here in Vienna. Sweden lost but it was cool to see Zlatan in the flesh, first time for me.
Anyways, the game took place in Erst Happel Stadium, a stadium built in the twenties. After Anschluss and the incorporation of Austria into Germany as Ostmark, the stadium was used for the internation of thousasnds of jews, later deported to Buchenwald. Most of them died.
During the last moments of the game the audience started doing a chant where the clapped and sang "Sieg". And this was an international game, not a club one, so most of the people there were regular people (the football club-scene in this country is heavily infested by nazis and fascists). And they did a fucking mass exercise of clapping and singing Sieg at a place where a lot of bad stuff happened.
I fucking hate this country. The scum of the earth and Carl's employers live here. It is disgusting.
ps. Sieg without the Heil does not necessarily imply anything but I think the Austrians should perhaps watch out before using that word. Case in Point: a group of neonazis doing the sieg chant in the subway on the way home ds.

"In my career so far it's the most important goal. You score the goal in the last minute to win the title. You're not sure if that's ever going to happen in your career again. I wish I could tell you how I did it but I can't. I thought for all the world that Mario was going to have a go himself but he just moved it on one more and it fell at my feet and I just thought: 'Hit the target, hit it as hard as you can and hit the target.' And it went in."
