Lazarus Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 No more gifts for the Greeks, says Romania coach BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romania coach Victor Piturca believes his side, determined to end a 16-year absence from the World Cup finals, must produce an error-free performance to overturn a two-goal deficit in their World Cup playoff against Greece on Tuesday.

js1000 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 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.

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!

Lazarus Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 That was a nice "cool-as-a-cucumber" execution from Mitroglou. if he keeps playing like this, I might actually change my mind about him... ;-) (He still has a long way to go...)
