Romania
Nickname: The Eagles
World Cup appearances: 7
World Cup best finish:
First round

Romania is one of the unfancied
sides at the tournament. Despite
an impressive qualification
campaign where they won eight
of their ten games, there isn’t
really much to write home about.
However, they could be one of
the most exciting sides to watch
at the World Cup, not because
they can win but because they
can cause one of the major
sporting bet upsets.
They are renowned for their
huge forwards such as Mihai
Lazer, Florin Vlaicu and speedster
CatalinFercu.
