I had the pleasure of being at this game. Both sides put on a great show despite the very hot conditions. Argentine were quick, dynamic, but a little too open and wasteful in attack, whereas Romania played a very smart and clinical game. Hagi's composure and left foot, it's precision was a joy to watch. It's sad that his name doesn't get mentioned as much as it should, he was a truly great player. As for the final, and knowing how hot Pasadena was at the time, it's a miracle that an injured Baggio managed to play 120 minutes.
I was at that game also Bad memories..I’m argentine. A lot of miss shots from our side. Lot of pressure on those players after losing Maradona. Rumanía had a solid team, Hagi was an exceptional player.
Esa selección de Rumania ha sido de los mejores equipos de conjunto, jugaban en equipo, y sin lugar a dudas Hagi de los mejores jugadores de todos los tiempos, para mi el mejor del mundial 94, ¡Este fue de los mejores partidos que he visto!
@mariotizzano5986 fue una sola generación top que tuvieron tanto en la selecciòn como en clubes de 1986 a 1994 dónde inclusive ganaron Champions League. Al igual que Croacia, Yugoslavia, Suecia, etc.
Ese mundial de Rumania fue una locura. Lo que jugaba ese equipo!!! Haggi fue el mejor de ese mundial, pero el premio obviamente se lo dieron a Romario sólo por ser campeón
Sim creio a Romênia foi prejudicada pelo calor excessivo. Se aquele Mundial fosse na Europa teriam avançado. Já ARGENTINA perdeu seu grande Maestro. Diego fez muita falta para a CELESTE Y BLANCA. 🇦🇷
@@elbello1975If that world cup would have been in Europe the matches would have been played at evening, not in the afternoon, so yes, the temperature would have been totally different. I think that's what he wanted to say and it makes sense.
@@pagodebregaeforro2803 Eu não me lembro da regra de impedimento na época mas hoje não seria impedimento, mesmo. TODAVIA... Batistuta basicamente SE JOGOU quando percebeu que o terceiro zagueiro romeno iria chutar a bola para a linha de fundo. Nem pênalti foi.
Com certeza. Mais nao so isso, eu acho que hoje em dia simplesmente nao tem tanto espaco mais. Na quela epoca, podia pegar a bola e driblar, ir pra frente, agora o cara recebi a bola e ja tem dois marcadores em sima dele. Fora o Messi e o Barcelona, o jogo fico MUITO feio de se assistir nesses ultimos 15 anos
Jogo histórico! Esse timaço da Romênia tinha um contra ataque mortal. Infelizmente não desenvolveu todo o seu futebol nas quartas de final contra a Suécia! Isso sim era futebol de verdade, praticado por homens. Hoje é só molecagem, com todo mundo tatuado! 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
After almost 30 years I still can’t believe we lost to Sweden on Penalties. After beating Colombia and Argentina, this Romania team was capable of beating Brazil
I remember that after defeating Nigeria the Argentinians thought they would be champions...Maradona was 50% of this team and after he was banned Argentina lost two matches in a row, against Bulgaria and Romania.
Argentina, Brazil, Germany always think they have what it takes to win the world cup, anything below championing is a big fail for those countries, same for Italy.
It is clear that Romanian is a neo-Latin language, although this language received many words from the Slavonic languages. My native language is Spanish, but I can understand many words in Romanian and the sense of phrase in many cases. It is also a help the fact that I know French and English.
@@kristotovar8796 Estimado amigo Kristo, supongo que eres rumano. El rumano está considerado por la ciencia lingüística como una lengua romance moderna, como lo es el español, el francés, el italiano, el portugués, etc. Por lo tanto, es una lengua neolatina. Su vocabulario estará más cercano tal vez al latín de hace 2000 años, pero eso no quiere decir que el rumano no sea una transformación como las otras lenguas romances del latín. El rumano no es la lengua latina del latín clásico de hace 2000 años, ni siquiera es el latín vulgar que se hablaba hace 2000 años en esa parte del Imperio romano que después fue Rumania. Es una transformación del latín como lo son las otras lenguas neolatinas. Además, estoy seguro que en su vocabulario deben de haber influencias de las lenguas eslavas vecinas, también por supuesto del griego clásico, y hasta capaz alguna palabra del turco.
Maradona se botó solito...era un adicto y lo fue hasta el final de sus días..no podía controlar su adicción y como todo adicto era irresponsable...luego trató de justificarse con presuntas conspiraciones y confabulaciones...absurdo...el solito se cortó las piernas...
A few offsides wrongly went against Argentina, but it was a good contest and I wouldn't begrudge that fine Romania side from the run they had in that tournament. Their exploits were one of the highlights of USA 94. Shame Maradona wasn't able to play by this point though, got himself banned because of an illegal weight loss supplement!
0:34 está habilitadisimo!! 0:54 habilitado el relator la tenia adentro 1:09 se tira antes de q lo toquen... Ahi viene el gol de una falta que no existió 6:05 penal no cobrado 7:00 también habilitado!! 7:14 ....!? Rumania un gran equipo Hagi y Dumitrescu dos fenómenos. Argentina afuera del mundial estaba decidido, cama al Diego y arbitraje en contra
Two matches with Maradona and Argentina won both and looked like the best team in the tournament. Two matches without Maradona and they lost both and were eliminated.
1980 to 1990 was era of football magic 1990 till 1999 was end of that gold generation ;( 2002 world. Was as just saying good bye football ) 2002 till now football no more only media controlling the game
IN ALL OFFSIDE CHARGES AGAINST ARGENTINA, THE PLAYER IS ENABLED. ROMANIA'S FIRST GOAL WAS NOT A FAIL... IT WAS A MATCH ARRANGEED TO LEAVE ARGENTINA OUT WITH THE COMPLICITY OF FIFA
Este jogo foi a final da copa antecipado. Tempo bom quando o futebol ainda era só futebol, saudades de uma época que não volta mais. Hoje todos os campeonatos são combinados quem paga mais ganha.
eram dois times fantásticos e foi um dos melhores jogos da Copa de 94. O Narrador Italiano tava torcendo descaradamente para a Romênia, não sei era ódio da Argentina pela copa de 90 ou porque o outro time era europeu.
The narrator is Romanian. Of course, he was with the Romanian team. He quit narrating football after this World Cup because he didn't want that adrenaline anymore.
Acompanho Copas do Mundo com muita intensidade desde a de 1990 e acho esse jogo o melhor de todos, assim como a final da última copa, 2022. Mas foram jogos com características bem diferentes. I follow World Cups very intensively since the 1990 and I think this game is the best of all, as well as the final of the last cup, 2022. But they were games with very different characteristics.
En esa época yo era seguidor de Rumania, era un equipazo,pero hay que reconocer que en el minuto 0:34 el argentino estaba habilitado de medio metro. !!
En el fútbol clásico (siglo XX), si había duda, se marcaba el fuera de lugar. Muchas veces se deshabilitó jugadas claramente válidas. Y en partidos importantes, como los de mundial.
This game was exciting only because Argentina did all the attacking. Romania caught them on the counter. Romania's next game against Sweden was a colossal bore because both teams were waiting for the other side to take the initiative.
This match was the best in USA 1994 World Cup. It was round 16 I think where Maradona was just excluded from the tournament in the previous game. I rank this match as the 2nd best in all WCs. The 1st is undoubtedly Qatar 2022 WC final match between Argentina and France.
En el primer gol de Dumitrescu no hubo falta previa, y la amarilla de Redondo a Hagi no lo toco. Lindo ver como hay cosas que no cambian, los arbitros siempre fueron horribles.
