That was quite a match. That's the real football spirit. Universitatea Craiova went in Timisoara to win 3 points. Our team was really decided to win this game and they did a spectacular first half. In the 43rd minute of the game Mihai Costea scored for 1-0 and nobody thought it can be another winner of this game.
But in the second half the Viola team (italian for purple, their color) came back in the game. They forced a goal in the 63rd minute of the game. Actually it was a fault against Universitatea Craiova's goalkeeper, Siliviu Lung-jr. After that it was a real fight on the field but nobody was redcarded. Finally the score remained 1-1 and no one of these teams get lucky.
Universitatea Craiova played against the second team of Gloria Bistrita a match for 1/16 final of Romanian Football Cup. It was an easy game and nobody thought about who will win it. In the 4th minute of the game Florin Costea scored for 1-0. In the 12th minute of the game V. Gaman did an imprudence and was red carded. Even so, Craiova won with 4-0 thanks to another 2 goals scored by Mihai Costea and one more scored by Florin Costea. It was the first game for Florin Costea as captain of Universitatea Craiova and the first of Eugean Neagoe as a trainer of Craiova after Daniel Mogosanu was dismissed.
This game was really crazy. Craiova started the match after 6 games with contradictory results. That meant our team was in need for a victory. There were only 3500 people in audience of this game and this was a negative record for Universitatea Craiova.
Until the 20th minute of the game, Rapid had 2-0 on the score board. Craiova ran after a draw and finally they did that. At the break time the score was 2-2. In the second half of the game the amazing score evolution continued. And the final result was Craiova - Rapid 3-4. After this game Daniel Mogosanu was dismissed. The new manager of Universitatea Craiova will be Eugen Neagoe.
Universitatea Craiova made another sad game and lost once more time. This time it was 0-0 at the break time. In the 60th minute of the game Mihai Costea received an assist from Eugen Trica. He had the whole goal free in front but his shoot hit the wood. In the very next moment of the game, Politehnica Iasi scored for 1-0 and that was the final result of the game.
Our team: Merlier, Bărboianu, Găman, Stoica, Rose , Şoavă, M. Costea ('69 Dina), Prepeliţă, Dilevski, F. Costea, Badea ('46 Trica)
Last week there were a lot of international games for World Cup 2010 qualifying. In America and in Europe we had a lot of big surprises.
First of all, England made a great match against Croatia. They won with 5-1 and this score tells everything about this game. The bookmakers had already given to England the first chance to in the future World Cup. They are between the most valuable teams in the company of Spain and Brasil, of course.
Another big surprise will be Portugal. Even they have one of the greatest football players in the World, they did only a draw, 1-1 against Denmark, and they will miss in South Africa. So we will have a World Cup without Cristiano Ronaldo.
But the biggest surprise we had last week it was Argentina. After 1-3 against Brasil, they have lost one more game against Paraguay (0-1) and now it seems that Argentina will miss in South Africa, also. After Ronaldo, it seems that Lionel Messi will not be in the future World Cup. Diego Armando Maradona will be probably fired from Argentina's national football team. Next year we will see a championship without any stars but with a lot of soul and passion if you take a look at the fans of the winners.
Universitatea Craiova made a good show in a match against Gloria Bistrita. Michael Baird was the man of the match with two goals and an assist. This game gives us a good hope for future. It seems that our team can be in front of the table again.
This is my football team. For those of you who are non British, I am talking about a soccer team.
Universitatea Craiova has a great history and is one of the most representative teams in Romanian football. Our team get 4 times the champion title and won 6 times the Romanian football cup.
I hope the story will not end here. Forza Stiinta!
