OK – so I’ve been happy to dismiss the hosts as absolute also-rans throughout the entire build up to the tournament, the CPI rates them as a 1% chance to pick up the trophy – and as we speak they’re still 1 down to Croatia.

But by gum – with only around ten minutes to go those Austrains are putting up quite a fight. “Not quite the stroll in the park that some people expected it to be” say Old Mother Beeb – and noone can deny that! Despite the perfect start, Croatia are on the rack somewhat.

Over on the Castrol Performance Index, to which I am glued (with one eye on the telly of course) one can see that the Austrians have certainly been industrious, running 2km more than Croatia in total with heat maps showing Croatia on back foot.

Could be worth putting Austria down for a last minute equaliser here – have they got the confidence in front of goal though? Keep your eyes on the screen
