The Viennese are getting ready for the European Football Championship, but in the city it is only visible near the stadium Ernest Hapoel, where the Croatian players will play the Austrians on June 8. All are nice and ready to help, and at the press centre they have learned the basics of Croatian language. 

However, in a nearby shopping centre where they sell souvenirs, an unpleasant surprise expected the Croatian tourists. In a sea of t-shirts there were also Croatian ones, but the coat of arms they bore was wrong, with olive branches whose shape recall a letter U.

To balance things, at the bottom they placed a small star. This was the most surprising thing, as we all know they fight against Thompson’s concerts, right due to such iconography.

Everything is ready around the stadium. The police monitors and works on the last controls. Unlike Vienna, in the camp of the Croatian team, Bad Tatzmannsdorf, everything is ready for tomorrow’ arrival.

Croatian flags are visible everywhere, the hotel is surrounded by the police and is inaccessible. The only problem is the rain. The Croatian national team will probably arrive in the evening, and they will go straight to the hotel.

Training will take place in Oberwart, and will be closed to public. The first match with the hosts is scheduled June 8, at 6:00 p.m.
