“The slow death of Romanian football”

Yes, Romania has had problems but in Hagi, a lot of people think he was one of those fantastic special footballers, as Bulgaria had Stoichkov but without a special footballer as Wales now has Bale, they are just an average team.

It’s interesting how the article talks about corruption and the Croatians may well have a corruption problem but I can’t really tell what the problem is with them.

Best 3rd places as of today:

4 points:
Slovakia

3 points:
Albania
Northern Ireland

2 points:
Portugal

1 point:
Sweden
Czech Republic
(* Republic of Ireland also with 1 point and in 4th in group E)

So 3 points actually is strong at this point.

With another new design I was about to derisively ask “is the ball still round?” it was meant to be rhetorical, but apparently it’s a valid question.
