Nearly 10,000 fans turned out UPC Arena to watch the Austrian National team exact revenge on France in a deluge on Wednesday evening in Graz, Austria. The French defeated Austria in the 2011 World Championships three years ago and, coming off a 65-0 drubbing of Denmark, the French were considered the favorite by many. Butt the Austrians, with bend-but-don’t-break defense and an efficient offense, had other plans.
The 10,000 loud fans chant for the victors:
The win boosts Austria to it’s first appearance in a European final, this year’s 2014 Eat the Ball European Championship Final. They will face-off against arch-rival and reigning champions Germany. These European titans will meet Saturday, June 7th at 7 pm CET and 1 pm EST in Vienna, Austria.
