Again, everybody s complaining how bad the French are.l I think the Romanians do a pretty good job so far.

Agreed.

Don't think that energy can last through the second half, though. They've offered almost nothing going forward.

We'd be talking a lot differently about that half if the Romanian chance went in in the 3rd minute.

Romania playing pretty well, france getting the calls though

 

[East Coast Bias]

Giroud is terrible.

 

[XO]

Got to bring on Martial early in the 2nd half

I agree with you. I think they use their body pretty well. They lack real danger going forward, though. Their passing needs to improve.

Happens at home.

 

[HanSolo]

Romania looking damn decent all things considered.

As a first gen Romanian American it would be nice if they could make some noise in this tournament but my hopes aren't high.

 

[Halladay]

The French defense is shaky.

 

[HajdukSplit]

why is a Hungarian refereeing Romania?

My Romanian friend on FB was just complaining about that.

 

[Evilo]

Romania seems awfully weak technically.
But they play a good tactical game.

 

[Ivan13]

France has issues because Romania plays a sound technical game, and French fullbacks are abysmal going forward.

 

[Bon Esprit]

IIRC Romania conceded just 2 goals in the qualification round and scored just 12. That tells something.

If the French score the Romanians (probably) won't come back.

 

[Eisen]

Because of the 1919 conflict?

 

[Live in the Now]

Romania has developed less players with good technique since the days of communist development. Mutu and Chivu are two of the ones I can think of. Not sure if the two are related but I think it's worth mentioning.

 

[Evilo]

Rami shoud be subed right now.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Stancu again...

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Awful awful defending. France is lucky Romania has no offense.

They are connected. In those days sport was the one thing which was developed in a good way, as having a good team was seen as a good picture of a country. You could draw a parallel with Slovakia in hockey.

 

[Alex Jones]

Poor finish. No Varane is a big miss.

 

[HajdukSplit]

good start by Romania this half, whether they can keep up this running/pressing...

 

[Shrimper]

We probably shouldn't be surprised. Romania did only concede 2 goals in Qualifying.

They are the only two players worth mentioning post Hagi generation. More Chivu than Mutu, who was a mess personality wise.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Varane > life
