Romania-England 1998

Day -51 WorldCup2018

Moving on today to France 1998.

I'll start with a reminder of one of those teams that used to be quite good: Romania. While the surprise team of USA '94, Bulgaria, were back to their old ways of finishing bottom of their first round group with no wins, Romania carried on where they left off in 1994 (quarterfinals) by winning their group. Their first round results included a late winner against England, by Dan Petrescu.
They lost in the round of 16 to Croatia and haven't qualified for a World Cup since. But they were fun to watch at those two tournaments.
