Info created by Granada - uploaded by Granada - nominated by Granada -- Granada (talk) 18:49, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
Support This team is now historic in having gained an unexpected fourth place of four after the group phase of the FIFA world cup 2018 in Russia. -- Granada (talk) 18:49, 27 June 2018 (UTC)- Support --Yann (talk) 18:58, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
- Support I want a full set of these, one for each country, please. :) They are also valuable to extract photos of the individual players from. --Cart (talk) 20:35, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
Comment I'd love to go to the next international soccer event e.g. the upcoming European Football Championships 2020 in Italy and take these group photos of all the participating countries, but it's one thing to take a 300km ride from Vienna to Klagenfurt on a single evening but a completely different ballpark to go to Italy for two weeks, have accommodation and travel around to visit the matches taking place in stadiums all over the country. Regarding portraits of individual players: that's why I'm fiddling around with two bodies during hymn ceremonies (and the match as well) being fitted with a 70-200 for the group shots and a 400mm for the head shots during the hymn itself. It's a quite tough job to fight for a place in the first row together with 30 other photographers wanting the same. :) --Granada (talk) 05:45, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
- Correction: the Euro 2020 will take place all over Europe - impossible for a Wikipedian to visit these matches. --Granada (talk) 05:50, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
- Well, we are grateful for every photo you can take. It's also fun to compare this with older lineups, today it looks like all players have personal hair stylists and do a daily regime with skincare products. ;) --Cart (talk) 09:08, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
- Support The most mediocre selection of all time --The Photographer 01:51, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
- not even mediocre --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 05:11, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
- I don't think they played bad actually. Their opponents just knew how to deal with a team which wasn't afraid of attacking. Much better than (say) a French team who qualified with some very very boring game. Sorry about the digression - Benh (talk) 17:31, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
- Support The laugh is always on the loser. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 03:31, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
- Support I'm not a sport fan but I have to admit that your pictures are cool and useful for the project. --Podzemnik (talk) 04:23, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
Question - I take it, it was raining? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:09, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
- Comment The match was delayed almost 90 minutes as a heavy rain shower came down over Klagenfurt that night (see e.g. File:20180602 FIFA Friendly Match Austria vs. Germany rainy stadium 850 0594.jpg and there was still light rain during the hymn ceremony. After kick off the sky cleared and the sun came out.
- Support - Thank you. The rain is well captured. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:24, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
