haha Sumudica is awesome. One of the funniest characters I've ever seen in football. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9qx9B-z-Qo He can't change, he's just like that. About Astra attendance, Astra is a team with almost no fans.

In theory there won't be problems to watch the game online. If you don't find any stream, try here (with Internet Explorer) http://sports-tv.ro/ They use to offer good streams for Romanian games.

Sumudica the coach tried a weird tactic in the first half (kind of 3-5-2). It didn't work. Very poor defending tonight by Astra, while Targu Mures pressed well and made some clever counters. The centre backs Gaman and Geraldo didn't play this game, but I guess they will be starters on Thursday. Budescu scored again, this time with help from the keeper. Astra have some talented attacking players, but they aren't in form yet.

Budescu's right foot is something special when he's capable of this (I've never seen a goal like this before) A pity we couldn't see the match in TV or online. Looking forward for the 2nd leg.

Hi all, I'm a fan of Romanian football. Yep, it's very probable they'll start with Budescu upfront. Not his best position, but he's always a threat. I don't know if Willian de Amorim will play on the left (he's linked to Steaua). In the case he doesn't play they can start with Filipe Teixeira, a new signing very well rated in Romania. Attention to the [very] quick Enache on the right. Alibec absence is very important IMO (he's not only linked to Steaua but injured as well). I rate him as a devastating striker when he's in form and he made a letal society with Budescu. Daniel Florea is a fine dribbler but not a goalscorer as his numbers show. Not very convinced about their defence (same thing than past season), they lack a natural right back and they lost some players in midfield, added to the good striker Fatai (left to Sparta Prague). I doubt this team (currently!) is better than one year ago, but they still have some good assets. Astra is more dangerous when a superior rival don't take them seriously, like Lyon did past year. I think I never saw a Romanian team creating so many chances against a rival of that level
