thats a team that could beat the dutch.. I like that squad.. Sub Popa 2nd half 70th minute or so, and he'll give them hell down the right. There won't be any David Luiz to try kill him with cheap elbow blows to the head, maybe their DM (I forget his name, he gets many yellows and reds) might haha.

 

Replace Torje by Popa, and you have the best avaible squad.

 

Torje on RB would be a ballsy but brilliant move. He stopped Ronaldo and Messi on that side, he can surely play RB for us.

 

My squad for this match :


------------Tatarasanu
Torje----Tamas----Chiriches----Radu
---------Bourceanu-----Lazar
Popa-------------------------------Chipciu
-------------Maxim----------------
------------------Mutu

 

Lazar is not avaible.

 

@GICA's team...

Torje, Maxim and Chipciu..? I'd like it but I doubt all three will play.

I still dunno about Gardos starting, but only Tamas and Radu are alternatives and they gotta play in different roles.

It's not my team, it's a possible team said by GSP.

But as usual, we can't take very seriously what the press says.



Possible Dutch team: Vermeer - Janmaat, de Vrij, Martins Indi, Blind - Strootman, van der Vaart, de Guzman - Lens, van Persie, Robben.


Blind as LB, let's play Popa!

 

Tamas, or Gardos.. Gardos could be the better option. I agree.


I've seen every one of Torje's matches, he even played RB for 2 or 3 games.

 

I prefer Torje over Tamas as RB anytime.

 

I prefer Sapunaru.

Piti :ass:

 

I'd love to see Maxim at AM and Popa on RM.. Torje at RB to overlap when need be..

They could really hurt the dutch down the left. I remember Strootmen had a difficult time against us last time.. If I am correct our DM's were dominating him.

 

Now GSP says that Tanase will be starter and not Maxim.


That's our Piti! He never dissapoints!

 

This guy is amazing. He only rewards players he likes. Maxim has done well every time he had a chance and he´ll remain in the bench even after THAT performance by our team:shakepalm:

http://www.gsp.ro/fotbal/nationala/...tionerul-pare-decis-sa-inceapa-cu-tanase-in-flancul-sting-cu-olanda-394343.html

And check this article. GSP always justifies Piturca´s decitions as if they were correct. They never question him before a game. They do it 20 times in this article, for example saying "Tanase helps defensively, while Maxim doesn´t help at all" Wow so they actually think Tanase is the defensive key to our game? And what about holding the ball and actually trying to counter?

 

what about Rat for Radu ?

 

They always try to praise Steaua players too, they don't want Gigi angry with them. If I'm not wrong a journalist was recently fired for having criticized Gigi.

Yeah, that is terrible, terrible. Whoever has the money controls information...

 

Maxim helps the defense more than Tanase.. Tanase doesn't track back actually.

 

 

In fact, we play exactly the same 4-2-3-1 as Romania. With Strootman and De Guzman a defensive midfielders, Van der Vaart as central attacking midfielder, Robben at the left, Lens at the right and Van Persie as a striker.

 

Piturca didn't call anybody to replace Lazar btw.

 

:wallbang: and what will he do if one of the is booked, sent off, or just exhausted? What an idiot

Tătărușanu- Tamaș, Chiricheș, Gardoș, Raț- Pintilii, Bourceanu- Adi Popa, Chipciu, Maxim- Mutu. Antrenor: Victor Pițurcă
ACCORDING TO DIGI.
That would be the best avaible team, I think.

Marica : "Doar cu antijoc putem sa scoatem ceva in Olanda"...

It´s terrible that some people think that defending smartly is the same as "anti-football". We play anti football because we refuse to try decent counters, not because we are cautious...

So I'm seeing people talking about Ro NT scoring several goals in Netherlands, and Piturca aiming for a 0:1. Really? A draw would be an extraordinary result, and a crucial one for the qualis. Not that they are unbeatable, but the more you open your team by attacking, the more space they have to score - and they will score. I see a 3:1 for Netherlands, but... "Go Romania!" nevertheless!

Who? :howler:

 

According to GSP this will be the team:

Pantilimon - Tamaş, Chiricheş, Gardoş, Raţ - Bourceanu, Pintilii - Ad. Popa, Chipciu, Tănase - Mutu



Mutu upfront.

Pantilimon as keeper, I don't know why, but not a problem for me.

As expected, Gardos replacing Goian.

Bad thing: Tanase.
Good thing: Popa.

 

I hope for a win, but I'll take a draw against the Dutch anytime.

 

Turkey - Hungary is on

 

Maxim/Torje would have been better than Tanase/Popa....i expect nothing, really nothing.

 

panti isnt great at shot stopping. I assume piti wants to limit the dutches to high balls

 

Will we concede a new set piece goal tonight?

We'll break all the world records.

 

GSP writes that Piti changed his mind and wants to send this squad: Pantilimon - Tamaş, Chiricheş, Gardoş, Raţ - Bourceanu, Pintilii - Ad. Popa, Grozav, Tănase - B. Stancu
