Austrians petition to have team withdraw
Having the opportunity to host a soccer tournament as big as Euro 2008 should be a moment of pride for all of Austria come next summer. And it may be. But some Austrians have decided that they might have a better time without their own team.
Dismayed at their national team's poor performance, fans have started a petition to have their team withdrawn from the tournament.
Started by four fans aged 33-40, the petition has been signed by more than 4,000 Austrian fans since it launched less than a week ago.
