Romania\u2019s national water polo team has also lost its second game as part of the Olympics, On Tuesday Romania sustained a 8-14 defeat by the United States. Romania\u2019s scorers were Vlad Georgescu and Silvian Colodrovschi, with three goals each, and Andrei Neam\u0163u and Matei Lu\u0163escu. Bogdan Rath\u2019s trainees had a bracing start, leading in the first half, 1-nil, 2-1 and 3-2. Yet the US were quick to level the score. Then a dismal period followed, with Romania receiving seven goals in a row and the scoreboard displaying a 9-3 advantage for the United States, from a meagre 3-2 advantage for Romania. The Americans succeeded to maintain their six-goal advantage to the end, although the game became more balanced. We recall Romania previously sustained a 7-14 defeat by vice-Olympic champions Greece. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
