Match report Romania - Cyprus | Playoff question: which World Cup are we going to?

"It was a final for Mircea Lucescu as well, not just for Marius Marin and his teammates. The coach should have illuminated the National team's path to the final tournament in 2026. His experience, ability to work with and promote young players, and the skill with which he built formidable teams seem to be just empty words. The 80-year-old man who stands throughout the match is today a dim lighthouse. He has become an ultra-conservative leader, and the promised possession game has remained on the locker room board. He has lost his compass. The national team is moving forward out of inertia on a dead-end road filled with explanations and excuses. On the sand by the sea / I did not write qualification."
