A good omen?
Austria always wins on Tuesday under Rangnick!
It may only be a tidbit for statistics lovers and coffee brew readers, but a curious fact has caused amazement since the European Championship victory against the Netherlands: since Ralf Rangnick became Austria's "soccer coach", Team Red-White-Red has won every match played on a Tuesday without exception! And when will Christoph Baumgartner and Co. play their round of 16 clash against the runners-up in Group F? Next Tuesday ...
The opponent won't be known until this evening, when the final whistle has blown for Georgia v Portugal in Gelsenkirchen and the Czech Republic v Turkey in Hamburg, but one thing is already certain: whoever plays Austria will also have to deal with the "Tuesday curse" for opponents of Rangnick's team.

- This year, test match victories followed against Turkey (6:1) on Tuesday, March 26, and against Serbia (2:1) on Tuesday, June 4 - with Xaver Schlager (2nd), Gregoritsch (44th, 48th, 59th), Baumgartner (78th), Entrup (90th), Patrick Wimmer (10th) and Baumgartner (13th) scoring for Austria.
Of course, after the 3:2 win against the Netherlands and the round of 16 match next Tuesday, that's it for Tuesday matches for Austria in the current European Football Championship.
