@usernameemanresu Agree. And I was reading that same article in The Guardian :) For us Romanians that night is still very remembered, because gave us the chance to shine in America. It was all or nothing for many NTs that night. I wish good luck to Wales in the next qualifiers.

According to the Guardian, Gary Speed said in 2003 "What I've always wondered is what would have happened had I stayed on my feet?" "Would I have scored if I hadn't gone down? Would that have made the crucial difference and taken us to the World Cup finals?"

In my view, there's no way he would've got to the ball before the defender. So he shouldn't have felt guilty about going down.

@lickstickly I don't have a crystal ball, but a team full of Bodins doesn't win games at the World Cup. Wales had only two world class players in the squad: Giggs(still too young for that level) and Southall. Rush was past his prime already and there were dozens of higher quality players than Hughes and Speed at the WC.

Attitude would have been a problem as well, apparently. Calling people "idiots" just because they say things you don't like about your team is not very bright.

@mitya mate do you know anything about football, ask any manager if he would rather have 3 half chances or 1 penalty to get you a goal and i guarantee you they would go for the penalty, Wales were close to the world cup any idiot could see that (although you cant) i agree Romania were great in the world cup bu how can you say Wales would have been useless?! do you have a crystal ball mate?

I don't believe it. Romania had at least 3 better goalscoring chances than the penalty Wales had, yet people here make it sound like Wales were actually close to the World Cup. If Romania was trying to attack instead of defending in the second half they would have scored and more than once.

Romania was one of the best teams in the World Cup and deserved the place in the final as much as Sweden did. As a neutral supporter I would have been gutted to see Wales go through in 1994.

Full house for this game Where's the fuckers now. Majority of so called welsh fans are glory hunters and only support a winnining team. Wankers.

This is maybe the match that born one generation: Romania golden team.

Wales was a good team, but except min 59-60, when they have the goal and the penalty kick, they played under pressure, with fear.

Romania played verry well, with possesion and a lot of goal situation.

To see the different for this team, remember the match from Bucharest. 5-1, with 5 goals in 35 min.

I`m sorry for Giggs. Huge player with no final tournament prezents.

P.S. Sorry for my english.
