Bosnia – Romania 3-1. Marcel Pușcaș (65 years old), the former president of FCU Craiova, is no longer directly involved in football, after parting with Ceahlăul Piatra Neamț, the last club where he was active, but he continues to follow what is happening in the phenomenon and on Sunday morning, from the early hours, he commented on the failure suffered in Zenica.

In a post on the Facebook page, he emphasized the aspect according to which the Bosnia team that beat us last night with 1-3 was mostly made up of young players, under 23 years old, thus prolonging a series of bad results previously suffered by the youth and junior representatives of Romania, who, in turn, failed in the matches played in the last few days: Romania U20 lost 0-6 with Germany U20, Romania U21 0-2 with Finland U21.

Marcel Pușcaș's conclusions, after the failure in Zenica

I WENT 1-11 IN JUST 3 DAYS!

THE YOUTH OF BOSNIA DEFEATED US AT ZENICA!

With Germany (U20), Finland (U21) and Bosnia at the senior level, we lost 1 to 11.

We complain, we blame the referees, the hostile public, the playing field, the selector, the hell and the lake. Even damn me. We don't see the dry forest!

We do not want to understand that Romanian football is dust and the hopes of recovery zero. The Bosnians had 9 under 23 in the field.

We none. Oh, they also had the “donkey” Dzeko among the sheep.

He scored more for Bosnia than Hagi and Mutu for Romania combined. That could be another excuse. What football are we talking about?

Romania only has the chance of qualifying for the World Cup

After Saturday's setback, the “tricolors” missed a huge chance to enter the books for second place and are certain to finish third in this group, regardless of what happens in the final matches of the qualifiers.

At this moment, the most likely opponents for Romania, who come from ballot box 1, are Italy, Turkey, Ukraine and Poland. And Romania will surely play away on March 26.

On Thursday, from 14:00 Romanian time, liveTEXT on GSP.ro, Lucescu's “tricolors” will know exactly who they will play in the play-off in March, for a ticket to the North American World Cup.
