Strange about Ghita. Maybr because of his nose injury? I can't see another reason to not make the bench even with a 3 man defence last time

Stefanescu makes it today. Certainly not easy to trust newcomers in this scenario. There are players that should show up like Olaru, Cicaldau, Mihaila or Tanase before testing new ones

Looks like a 4-3-3 to me.

In principle I like this line-up.

 

[GICA]

Let's see if we can create something this time.

 

[The Rumaniac]

It seems like a team that can be offensive and produce football. Then it depends on the players and their attitude

 

[forestasuceava]

We appear to be playing in 10, Sorescu missing at the anthems

 

[forestasuceava]

LOL FML

Puscas misses a PK

 

[forestasuceava]

Flare break

Cicaldau hit the bar with a header.

Someone hit the bar with a deflected shot after the PK too

 

[forestasuceava]

Anghel Iordanescu to Mircea Lucescu: "who's that playing in yellow, Andorra?"

 

[forestasuceava]

Bancu gol

 

[forestasuceava]

1-0 HT

 

[The Rumaniac]

A lot of good things to say, but the most important is to show they can keep a performance for a whole game, otherwise it means little

 

[forestasuceava]

Nita did well now but we're looking crappier

 

[forestasuceava]

Hanca went in for Popescu

 

[forestasuceava]

R. Marin and Cretu going in... with the latter... we're gonna lose points lol

Olaru and Cic out

 

[forestasuceava]

Mihaila for an excellent Sorescu

 

[forestasuceava]

Decent victory here.

1-0 FT

We retreated after scoring again and Finland looked like us vs Bosnia when they had chances.

That said, we were the better team.

 

[forestasuceava]

Olaru, Ratiu and Sorescu our best players I'd say...

Ratiu's quality crosses remarked by the British commentator. Sorescu's speed and balls help even though he gets lost at times. Olaru very active and solid, with something to prove.

This game and outcome further proves that Finland is nothing special. It's one of those teams that relies on their direct opponents sucking ass to get by which is how they qualified for Euro 2020 at our expense despite us beating them 4-1 during that qualifying campaign.

 

[forestasuceava]

Overall I agree with these rankings, if we subtract 1.0 points from Bancu.

If they rely on teams sucking ass, they're in the right group

How was your game?
