Today Romania's squad arrived in Belgium and began practicing in some intense heat.
Dinamo Bucuresti midfielder Catalin Haldan fainted due to the heat. He was ok shortly however.
Romania's team is in good spirits. Hagi said that he feels the whole day he's been thinking about his first tournment with the national team back at Euro84. And how he feels the same passion he feels now. He feels a formidable drive and anger to obtain the trophy.
Popescu said today that he will be at his best in Euro2000. He said that he will try his best to play like the Popescu of old. And he reminded the media that the defense still carried a lot of the Romanian team during the 10 qualifer games.
Ienei said today that he was thinking of using 3 forwards. With the 3 looking like this:
_______ Mutu ________
Ilie ___________ Hagi
He then added that Moldovan and Ganea could also factor in the equation because he doesn't have his mind made up yet.
Injury updates:
Galca - has muscle strain, but is going to be recovered in time for Germany.
Ilie - is practicing normally but is being overlooked by the medic continously. He should also be 100% for Germany.
Stelea - reinjured himself over the weekend and is still feeling pain. But he should be ready as well
Finally, there will be 5000 Romanian fans at Euro2000. Germany and England will have 20 0000 - 25 0000. Porgual will have 6000.
For those that care, there you go. I'll keep you guys updated.

However, I get the feeling I am talking to 1 or 2 of you only
