Well, nothing very interesting for Barca's level but I just want to share some inside things for others to see how dirty football can be sometimes.
As some might know, Romania's golden days of the 90's have long past. Players like Hagi ( real mandril, Barca, Galatasaray ), Popescu ( PSV, Barca, Galatasaray ) Petrescu ( Chelsea ), Raducioiu ( Dinamo, AC Milan, Brescia, West Ham, Espanol, Stuttgart, Monaco ), Ilie Dumitrescu ( Tottenham, Sevilla, West Ham ) and others are long gone.
1990 - Last 16
1992 - Not qualified
1994 - Quarterfinals
1996 - Group Stage
1998 - Last 16
2000 - Quarterfinals
No more games like with Argentina at the 90 and 94 World Cup, England in 98 and 2000 or others.
As you may know, Romania only has 4 points after half of the games played in this qualifying stage for WC 2010.
Our ex-coach, Victor Piturca, knew he became unwanted after a very bad Euro when Romania played EXACTLY like Chelsea on Nou Camp with France and Italy while The Netherlands ( already qualified ) that we beat in the qualifying were simply letting us true for attack so we can win. Piturca adopted the same defensive play and we simply couldn't go for it. :smiley_scared:
Oh, well after this everybody was talking about he's dismissal from the NT. After that he simply adopted a no-mans tactic. No ideas, pressure on the rivals etc. Everything reached the summit when after losing to Serbia in a game where the tactic was the high ball seeing Serbia's defenders were almost all of them over 1,90 and a defensive tactic with a DM ( Razvan Cocis ) who actually is a AM or even a striker. Our CB was a CM who likes to attack a lot also
.
After that in the game with Serbia, it was clear he won't remain at the NT so to be kicked out and not to sign himself he simply put a humiliating team in the game with Austria and after calling up a good player like Maximilian Nicu from Hertha Berlin who was a Romanian, german born who fought some times to get his citizenship and playing him only 3-4 minutes!
The reason he did all this was so he can receive 500.000 euro's from the Federation if he is kicked out. So just get a idea how much of a disaster there is. I'm not saying that since he has been named manager, he took players at the NT by taking bribe from club leaders so he can promote them: Banel Nicolita, Ovidiu Petre and others from Steaua Bucharest's president who recently was in jail for a few weeks.
Now I hope with the new manager Romania will come back up and qualify for the Euro in 2012, maybe a dream game with Spain we missed after the game with The Netherlands in the group stage after Romania is still the last team to beat Spain, 1-0 in Cadiz.

That is both an interesting video and an interesting song... It definitely does prove though that the guy can't sing
