More, you can even wish them to lose, because you feel that they rob the name of your people.

I know and I agree. Everyone can get citizenship, as for the states they come and go. I changed 2 states in my life already (and 3 currencies), I was born in Yugoslavia, and so what?

Greece had powerful strikers, some fast players, counter-attacking skills... and 3 points after the first match. All these things wich Romania hasn't.

Romania have Mutu and Contra, plus great counter-attacking skills too, you'll see it. Yesterday they wanted 0-0 and they got it, but they could easily get 1-0 too with some luck (Greece had it on first match, remember Basinas wonder-goal early in the match?). I think they'll beat Italy, because after Italy won't score a goal against them they'll get frustrated because they need a win after they lost against Holland, and then Mutu will get his revenge after some Italian football club president called him a 'gypsy'.

Ah, I remember, that was a remark made by Palermo's president, Zamparini (a Friulian, btw ). But watch this.

*E Mutu zingaro...* ("Mutu is a gypsy")

To tell you the truth, I hoped that my national team will play this good, but I didn't expect it after the match against Austria. Even though it seems to me now that we have underestimated Austria, since their current performance against Poland is impressive.

Eh, luckers! They had one chance and they scored. Austria controlled the entire first half.

Bloody Jerries, you costed me 100 euros in today's match!

Austria deserved to be punished, IMO. Boruc is a wall, and the Austrians should learn that trying to enter in the goal with the ball isn't the easiest way to score.

Great, fantastic, brilliant game for Croatia....and I'm 150 leva ahead

Austria can still make it to the quarter final.
