Pleaca Piturca, vine Andone?

Nationala e in criza. Primul meci din calificarile pentru mondiale a fost un dezastru total, iar Piturca e la doar un pas de a parasi banca tehnica. FRF cauta solutii!
Piturca si Sandu au anuntat ca dupa meciul cu Insulele Feroe de miercuri, cei doi o sa intre in sedinta, iar pana la meciul cu Franta din octombrie, nationala ar putea avea un nou selectioner.
Campion si castigator al Cupei cu CFR Cluj in sezonul trecut, Ioan Andone e unul din favoritii la postul de selectioner al nationalei Romaniei.
El a ramas "pe liber", dupa ce a fost demis de la echipa campioana, in urma rezultatelor slabe din inceputul acestui campionat.
Podolski starts German goal rush
http://www.bundesliga.de/media/image...b2_468x345.jpg Germany opened their World Cup campaign with an easy but lacklustre win. Coach Joachim Löw's team beat football minnows Liechtenstein 6:0 (1:0) to lead Group 4 ahead of Wales.
Lukas Podolski, back as a striker after playing in left midfield at EURO 2008, scored twice (21./48.). Both goals were laid on by Piotr Trochowski. Simon Rolfes (65.) scored his first international goal, with another a minute later from Bastian Schweinsteiger (66.). Thomas Hitzlsperger scored with a deflected free kick( 76.) while Heiko Westermann rounded things off with his first goal for Germany (86.).
Liechtenstein show resistance
Löw played his successful World Cup striker duo, Podolski und Miroslav Klose, up front. After four minutes, Klose - wearing the captain's armband in place of injured Michael Ballack - passed to Trochowski. His shot from seven metres out was blocked by keeper Peter Jehle. Eight minister Jehle was tested again by Schweinsteiger and turned his shot away for a corner.
At first, in the pouring rain of Vaduz, Liechtenstein tried to attack. But Germany's central defensive duo of Heiko Westermann and Serdar Tasci allowed them no goal chances, despite some communication problems. Liechtenstein, 130th in the world rankings, managed just one shot from Benjamin Fischer (10. ) into the side netting.
"Poldi" shows leadership
After a quarter of an hour, the EURO runners-up took control. Trochowski, lively on the left flank, posed a threat and provided the pass for Podolski's goal in the 21st minute.
Despite taking the lead, Germany tried to play too much down the middle. Schweinsteiger often drifted into the centre from the right and ran straight into the Liechtenstein cover.
Walcott: "David Beckham mi-a zis ca trebuie sa fiu lacom ca sa inscriu!"

Pustiul Theo Walcott a devenit erou national in Anglia, dupa ce a inscris trei goluri in poarta Croatiei, in preliminariile CM 2010.
Walcott a fost coplesit de incurajarile idolului sau, David Beckham, care a fost reverva sa in meciul razbunarii cu Croatia.
"Sa fii laudat de David Beckham este de-a dreptul fantastic! Am crescut urmarindu-l si faptul ca acum ma antrenez alaturi de el este extraordinar. Cand discutam, acest lucru ma motiveaza".
"La pauza Becks mi-a spus sa fiu putin lacom si voi mai inscrie. La final mi-a zis ca am fost prea lacom", a glumit Walcott.
