I'm surprised to see Greece even scheduling friendlies. I guess the midnight cramming in their belated attempt to field a respectable team in the 2004 Olympics has finally begun.
ok romania has a team we are doing really good now. wow i remember when i lived there and i got so many dirty looks when i kicked around a ball. i bet it is still the same but at least they have a team.
I seem to recall that Greece had a player who attended Towson State. Is she still playing with the squad?
Yes, it is a start. It is good to see women's soccer expanding into Eastern Europe and slowly becoming more acceptable. I know in the Czech Republic they have a three divisions for their league and a decent national team.
that is awesome maybe one day i should go back. My neighbors are from Bosina and they stare at me when i play. I like to think i'm helping them and the women in their families. or maybe not.
I have spent a lot of time in the Czech Republic, but I didn't really see any women playing soccer for fun. It was mostly just the men. I know that Bosnia has a women's national team, but that is all I know Here is a link from UEFA about the Romanian national team. http://www.uefa.com/Competitions/WOCO/Teams/Team=113/index.html Romanian also had a club playing in the UEFA Women's Cup (FC Regal). So, acceptance of women playing soccer in Romania must really be improving.
According to damfotboll.com , Romania won both matches 2-1. Greece is going to embarrass themselves in the Olympics.
According to fifa.com Greece and Romania will play two more games in a few days. Nov 15 Romania at Greece (in Drama) Nov 17 Romania at Greece (in Drama) Greece will also play two matches against Cyprus. Dec 6 Cyprus at Greece Dec 8 Cyprus at Greece
