@Doru Delavale: See here.

^ Only that she (and anyone in her situation) can't play for Romania unless she's a Romanian citizen, which she is not. And as explained above, she can't become one any time soon.

^ No, they cannot go faster, 4 years is already the exception. The law is clear, 4 years if one is already EU citizen or "an international personality" (sportspeople included). The only "exception of the exception" is if one marries a Romanian, then the 8 years are reduced to 5 a...

How do you know it's her decision and not Bregar's, @John? Take a look at our team, Ryde decided that the best left back and the best right wing of our championship should stay home and be replaced by second-hand players instead.

^ She doesn't even stand a chance, it's easier to become a US citizen than a Romanian one . By law one needs to have lived for at least 8 years in Romania (OK, 4 years if already citizen of another EU country), speak the language and know the provisions of the Romanian Constitution .

^ Bo$ko is a reliable source himself . As strange as this rumor might sound, I hope he is not joking. But I'm afraid that he actually poured himself a glass of whiskey too much before writing that .

Why would she do that??

I can't understand it. Next week beginns the WHC and still now we can't see the official 28 players squads on the official sites. It was always available 4-5 weeks (or more) before the games in the last years. :-k [-( This is maybe old news for you and you have probably found it in the meantime but...

^ At least we could have a right back in Japan after all :lol:. Apparently the only right back selected by Ryde is not (yet?) on ANAD's list. Leaving the joke aside, whoever manipulated and arranged for these young girls to do what they did should end up in jail and stay there for a long time. This ...

^ Very good transfer for Vâlcea, whoever had this idea was smart.

Because of the idiotic criteria of FRH.

^ This is kinda sad, she is still much better than most our wings.

^ See here, starting from min. 01:08:30 of the video (or check the official clock in the upper-left corner of screen and look for min. 09:23 of the second part of the game).

Any news about Bobana Klikovac?

I would just like to say how much I like Nørgaard! It's amazing how quickly she has adapted to Vâlcea , especially since she came from a very predictable and orderly country to a... very different one . This is all the more outstanding since she is the only Scandinavian player of the team.

Romania's expanded roster for the upcoming preparations in Cluj ahead of the 2019 World Championship. Abed Kader has been included on the list , let's hope she will be selected for the final tournament.

What is going on there is absolutely ridiculous, maybe "disgusting" is the most appropriate word. But anyway, I never knew if Ryde really was the actual coach of that team. Just check them out at time-outs, he was always out-talked by Neagu or Vasile. I have no sympathy for that catastroph...

For those interested but who don't know, an archived version of the old IHF website still exists here , only God knows for how long. Any info about the history of this sport at the Olympics has already disappeared . Not that the old website was a gem but it still contained useful information whereas...

^ This saddens me a lot although it was about time. Alice is one of the greatest players that Romania ever had and probably its best left wing ever. A true character and a natural born captain, she won so many titles, medals and personal distinctions that not even Wikipedia can remember :). My absol...

Because of my my job I just finished to watch the game minutes ago ( @Handbal Romania YouTube channel, thank you once again guys!) but gosh!, how much I liked it! OK, this is not the team that will ever win a medal but they played their hearts out. It was completely different from Romania's usual ga...

I am not at all against Adespii but she just came back after an injury which kept her far away from the handball court for a long time. She doesn't even play yet for her team but Ryde just decided out of the sudden to call her? :roll: On the other hand Glibko is one of my favorite players and I'm af...

^ Not only that Sorina played against Zalău but she actually scored a lot, so thank God!, her injury wasn't serious at all. That makes Ryde's decision to call in Adespii even more questionable...

^ I agree, her time at the National Team is up, but Elisei is still an excellent defender on her position. Iuganu is a mystery indeed. Maybe she made some impression with her 26 goals in just 4 rounds?

Romania's squad for the next matches: GK : Ciucă , Dumanska (both from Vâlcea), Dedu (CSM) LW : Ardean-Elisei (Bistrița), Florica (Vâlcea), Iuganu-Popa (Buzău) LB : Adespii-Molnar (Vâlcea), Neagu , Perianu (both from CSM), Polocoșer (Baia Mare), Tiron (Brăila) CB : Buceschi , Laslo (both from Brașo...

@Domokos Pál: Thank you, now I saved it at Wayback Machine , just to be sure :p. @HB9: be advised, Marian Ursescu is probably the less reliable source in the entire Romanian sports press. Anyway, an official statement should have been posted here , but it isn't and it never was (I also checked on i...
