Romanian
\nnational football team has had a flawed debut confrontation in the fresh edition
\nof the National League’ Division B. In Podgorica, Romania sustained a nil-2
\ndefeated by the host team, Montenegro. Scoring for the hosts were Stefan Mugo\u0161a on 66 minutes and Marko Vuk\u010devi\u0107 in minute 87. Both
\ngoals were made possible because of captain Vlad Chiriche\u015f’s errors of the
\npitch. Montenegro definitely had the upper hand tactically but also in one-to-one
\nconfrontations. It took our national squad 94 minutes of play to make at attempted
\nshot at goal. It was the first official match of Romanian national team’s new
\nhead-coach, Edward Iordanescu. The latter took full responsibility for the
\nfailure. Yet Iordanescu stressed that he did not take over a functional team,
\nbut a team that several times wasted the opportunity to qualify for international
\ncompetitions. In another Group 3 fixture as part of League B, in Helsinki, Finland
\ndrew against Bosnia-Herzegovina, 1-all. After the first round, Romania is at
\nthe bottom of the table. On Tuesday in Zenica Romanian faces Bosnia-Herzegovina.
\nRomania’s defender Iulian Cristea will be unavailable for the match. We recall
\nCristea sustained a serious injury early into the match against Montenegro.
\nAccording to head-coach Iordanescu, Cristea needs a long recovery break. <\/p>\n

Romanian handballer Cristina Neagu has been
\ndesignated the most efficient scorer in this year’s edition of the Champions’ League.
\nEven after the League’s final tournament, held this past weekend in Budapest, all
\ntold, no other handballer was able to score more goals that Neagu’s 110. We recall
\nCristina Neagu’s current team, CSM Bucharest, was unable to move past the quarterfinals.
\nAlso, Neagu, for the seventh time running, was included in the dream team of
\nthe Champions League’s season, created according to the supporters’ votes.
\n33-year old Neagu has also been included in the All-Star team before, in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2021. Norway’s
\nVipers Kristiansand have won this year’s edition of the Champions League. In the
\nfinal Vipers outclassed Gyor of Hungary, 33 to 31. Playing for Gyor was Romanian
\nnational team’s pivot, Crina Pintea, who scored three goals. <\/p>\n

The southern Romanian
\ncity of Craiova this past weekend played host to Romania’s International Athletics
\nChampionships. However, Romania’s top-flight athletes were abroad taking part
\nin top international competitions. For instance, distance runner Mihaela
\nBobocea, has had an eventful week. On Tuesday at the international competition
\nin Ostrava, the Czech Republic, Bobocea came in 4th in the 1,500m
\nrace. However, her timing secured Mihaela Bobocea the ticket for the World
\nChampionships held in July in the USA, but also the European Championships held
\nin Germany, in July. This past Friday in Manchester, in World Athletics Continental Tour contest, Bobocea won the 800m race. Then In
\nMorocco on Sunday, at the international contest in the Moroccan capital city Rabat,
