No more gifts for the Greeks, says Romania coach

katsouranis is suspended for this encounter, samaris is expected to replace him although i wish santos would be more positive and select tachtsidis or kone instead. we need to score to deflate them, going for a 0-0 draw like we attempted in bosnia will only invite pressure, if we concede a late goal say in the 80th minute the last 10 will be torture. there's no way romania will play that badly again.

Well said! Just digging in and trying to keep them from scoring without attacking their net is not a good strategy. The only question is: can we actually carry out this plan?

Good luck lads!
