A Great Performance Herr Hago Meisl.- “dictator" of Austrian football, said: "The re-i sult exceeds my expectations- It shows that the English were in good-form and went all ort for a good win.
I should have thought the Ger- man forwards would have been able to score once. The result shows that England will never
be beaten on physical superiority. The only chance is more schem- ing tactics."*
Great PerformANCE
The English team must have played extremely well to hold the German forwards as they did," said Dr. Edersthaller, chairman of the Austrian Football Asso ciation. "In short, it was a grea: performance on the part of Eng- land"
He added that the match proved that England were still unbeatable at home-Reuter.
