Euro 2008 France vs Romania Match Report
Monday, June 9th, 2008A draw which puts pressure on Italy and Netherlands while Romanian side seems to be very pleased with this result. After all, its a draw against the vice world champions.
After the game coach Victor Piturca said: “It was a physically demanding game, and I’m satisfied with the result. Of course we would also have taken the three points – France are maybe not as strong as they once were. Nothing happened to Adrian Mutu [who was substituted in the second half] – he couldn’t play for all of the preparation period, so it was important that he got 75 minutes here. In the next match, I’m sure you’ll see the real Mutu. I was worried because our players picked up bookings too easily in the first half, but the boys understood my message at half-time and we managed not to get another yellow card. [...] The important thing is that we prepare well for our match against Italy – we don’t want to lose that game”
Raymond Domenech, France coach, was expecting a difficult game:

Monday, June 9th, 2008At EURO 2008 Poland met Germany for the second time in three summers. In 2006, Poland faced Germany in the finals of FIFA World Cup. Germany won at the time, and they did the same also at EURO 2008.
