The defeat of Romania’s national football squad by Poland is still making headlines in the sports publications in Bucharest. The defeat sealed the fate of our footballers who have blown their chances to qualify for World Cup 2018. “20 years without a World Cup” headlines daily ProSport recalling the fact that our team’s last participation in the world’s greatest football event was back in 1998, when France hosted the tournament. Romania is presently ranking fourth in qualifying group E and its chances to end on the second position and play a tie game for qualification are next to nothing.



The morale of the Romanian fans got a slight boost on Tuesday after our side clinched a well-deserved win against Chile. It was the visitors to get the upper hand two-nil but somehow the Romanians managed to get back their cutting edge and secure a three-two win. Cristoph Daum, the German coach of the Romanian squad, had sent to the pitch a lineup made up of young footballers who managed an excellent show.



However, it’s still unclear whether the victory against Chile can help coach Daum get his contract with the Romanian Football Federation extended. The coach’s main goal was the World Cup qualification, which wasn’t met though. However, after the game against Chile, Christoph Daum said that he was told that irrespective of the team’s World Cup qualification, the Romanian officials want his contract extended.



In an interview to Die Welt, the German technician said that if he felt the team and the fans were against him he would leave right away. But this is not the case, Daum added.
