The Austrian football national team will play the 35.000-inhabitant-country Liechtenstein in Vaduz today.

According to the latest results of the Austrian football team, the Austrians are under big pressure to win this match. It would be the first victory this year. Everything else than a victory for Austria would bring the coach Josef Hickersberger into a deep crisis. Austria is going to host the EURO 2008 in two years, and has no competitive national team yet.
