Just for glory. Yes, because even if the maths still doesn’t condemn these two teams, it’s clear that there’s no chance of them going through and taking at least second place. Cyprus and Romania, therefore, in these last few days of World Cup qualifying, will only be trying to make the road to the end a little less painful.
Group H is pretty much decided: Bosnia is in first place with 12 points in 4 games, Austria is behind with 9 points in 3 games, and then there’s Romania, which has only collected 6 points in four games played so far. And let’s be clear, it’s not at the same level as the teams we mentioned before. Then there is Cyprus, which scores very few goals and concedes few goals, but cannot win. It has only won against San Marino. In short, just for the glory, as we said before. A glory that must be won and, above all, as far as Romania is concerned, it is time to avoid embarrassment. This means not dropping points against a clearly inferior national team that has never, in any way, even remotely thought of reaching the final stage of such an event. In short, Romania to win, obviously.
