No shock if Romania topple France says Piturca

 

Coach Victor Piturca said it would be no shock if outsiders Romania overcame World Cup runners-up France in their Euro 2008 opener on Monday. 'It will be no surprise if we win,' Piturca told a news conference on Sunday. 'My strategy is that Romania win.

'Of course if we draw that will be good for us because we have to play three great opponents (in Group C). A draw is possible but a win is also probable tomorrow.'

Netherlands and world champions Italy are the other sides in the section. 'Football is merely a game played on a pitch where the most valuable, most inspired, but sometimes the most lucky team wins,' added Piturca.

Romania, who last featured in a major competition at Euro 2000, are widely viewed as the weakest team in the group. Piturca said he had not finalised his side for the opening game in Zurich.

'I still have to make a decision on one or two players,' he said. 'But one thing is clear (Cristian) Chivu will play. 'Whether that is in defence or more attacking (in midfield) I will think about that nearer the game.'

I think there will be sure at least a draw for tonite's match...

Well... my bet is Italy and Holland match may draw...

Yup... I do believe in Romania... Yup... Still considering on Romania or rather waiting for Romania's odds to rise... :p

 

 

i buy holland win.. cos their odds higer =X

Romania might spring a surprise win over the French and Italy vs Holland could end up with a couple of goals draw>so dont forget to eat ball for breakfast!

I love surprises...

Make life interesting...

kakakakaakaa

Well... from mathematically point of view, so far, there is no draw in Euro cup yet... I can smell draw soon... :p

 

From my point of view if a slightly weaker team decides to play for a draw then draw la !

tonight is the best night of all group stages.

best games.

going for france and draw in the other match.

i also expect draw in second's match.

and Romania might surprise us.

Sneijder - no Van Persie blame

Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneijder has played down a training ground incident with compatriot Robin van Persie which left him needing a hospital visit.

Sneijder told the Daily Express: "There was an unfortunate incident. Van Persie landed hard on my ankle.

"I was in a lot of pain at first, but after a precautionary visit to the hospital it turns out it's not as bad as it looked.

"It was a scare, and I'm now going to have a rest. I don't blame Robin. Everyone is trying their best to win a place in the starting line-up."
