For Peter Strubl, football is the greatest pastime in the world. A matter of the heart, so to speak.
His heart has beaten for Wiener Austria since childhood; Toni Polster was his great idol. During a medical examination, doctors found an anomaly in the young striker's heart, and he had to hang up his boots.
Since then, he has lived the sport from the stands and in front of the TV screen. "For me, there's only Austria, then nothing for a long time. Then comes Austria's national team, and if the ÖFB is no longer in the competition, I always root for England."
At Andy Ogris's Roundtable - hosted by LAOLA1 Editor-in-Chief Peter Rietzler - Peter Strubl speaks from a fan's perspective about the World Cup overseas, explaining what he likes about his Austria team and what he doesn't find so optimal.
Why he, like Andy Ogris, is convinced that France will ultimately win the title and that Stephan Helm is currently the right coach for his Violets, the two reveal in the 190th episode of the LAOLA1 Roundtable presented by ImmoScout24 (Video and Podcast).
