I am Colombian and I have a lot of respect to that Romanian team from 1994. Our coach Fran. Maturana was so stubborn and lazy to understand Romanian letal counterattack strategy managed by players such as Radiciou, Hagi, Popescu, Pretescu. Romania gave a master class to Colombia. The most dangerous teams come from the Balcanic
Tonight you got your revenge. I am honored to have played with a clearly superior Colombian team and to have witnessed such a football show. Greetings from Romania!
Hagi had 29 years old here , and was at his peek of form regarding his matches at the national team , right after this world cup 1994 , was transferred by FC Barcelona of Johann Cruyff (manager) from Brescia Calcio (team from Italy) , *HAGI had FREE ROLE OF PLAY here in USA !* (Romanian coach ,Iordanescu said to him , " you play as free role player ! you play what you want ! you go wherever you want in the pitch ! i don't care what you do" That was the tactic of Iordanescu with HAGI ...the rest of players, of course, they had planned schedules to do , only one player ,HAGI was free to play what he want... midfielder, playmaker, winger, striker etc... free role!
Colombia was the team that dominates almost entirely the match against a Romania team wating back in defence for throwing speed counterattacks thanks the quality and speed from players so fast like Radiociou and Dumitrescu. All this players were thrown by a fantastic George Hagi and also by long passes to the space given by the romanian defenders like Belodedici. It was the best romanian team ever
Yes you are totally right. Colombia was one of the best teams at the moment. I remember the quality of Valderrama and Asprilla, my favourites players from Colombia
Pronto nos veremos las caras de nuevo en la cancha, hermanos rumanos , así sea en este amistoso en marzo 2024 grandes selecciones ,de un colombiano con gusto del buen football .

Fue una sorpresa 🇨🇴 que era de las más favoritas para ganar el mundial, y 🇷🇴 fue una gran revelación que casi llega a semifinales pero cayó en penaltis contra 🇸🇪
George Hagi, "El Maradona de los Cárpatos" lo titularon por acá, bien puesto ese título, en ése mundial estuvo fantástico, el saludo de un Argentino para ese gran jugador.
The fear on the Colombian players faces....it was real death threats before and after a game....and Colombia were actual favorites to win that world cup
Lindos todos los bloopers de oscar cordoba incluidos los 2 goles para dar ventajas a Rumaia en un encuentro parejo desde en comienzo. Contra argentina en eliminatorias oscar un fenómeno en el mundial 94 mucho que decir,el único y Gran arquero en los mundiales que participo Colombia,el turco farid Mondragón ali 💪🏻
Además, Maturana se dejaba presionar del bolsillo Gómez dejando jugar al barrabas Gómez que era hermano, qué mal jugador que era,debió meter a Harol Lozano que era un gran jugador y lo demostró contra Suiza y metió gol, pero ya era tarde...
Con el VAR Colombia hubiera recibido el penalty que el arbitro le nego sobre la falta clara en el area contra Asprilla, el balon sigue adelante y el defensor solo coge al jugador, penalty claro que hubiera cambiado ese partido y Andres Escobar estaria vivo
Si Colombia 🇨🇴 no fue campeón del mundo era porque no tiene historia para que ocurra este milagro 🎉se canceló la celebración era una mala época o se teme que la celebración sea con grandes tragedias festejos violentos lo mejor de todo es no traerse la copa al país pero bueno que Suecia lo saco y ellos tampoco pudieron celebrar
La selección romana ya no es la de antes la del 94 si hubiera sido la de antes le hubiera dado un buen partido a colombia asi haiga sido un partido amistoso
