Even if you can’t win, just score a damn goal!!
A lifetime’s free beer to first Austrian scorerVIENNA, June 10 (Reuters) – A Vienna brewery is promising a lifelong supply of free beer to any Austria player who scores a goal for the co-hosts in their remaining Euro 2008 group matches against Poland and Germany.
Austria, competing in the finals of the tournament for the first time, made a disappointing start with a 1-0 defeat against Croatia on Sunday.
‘Maybe this is the kind of motivation that will give them the last kick our team needs to be successful,’ Ottakringer Brauerei AG chief executive Sigi Menz said in a statement, adding he would personally deliver the brewers’s supply for the first year.
Austria, ranked 92nd in the world, take on Poland in Vienna on Thursday before completing their Group B fixtures against Germany at the same venue on Monday.
It’s ashamed it looks like Austria will post the un-coveted triple bagel. I call that a shrewd business decision! Much like the $1M Visa triple-crown that they have never had to pay out!!GO HOLLAND!!
