son of a ****. partizan have no luck when it comes to picking opponents... steaua tell me some info about dinamo. how are they in their division? partizan struggled vs otelul, but we had some injuries and some missing players, so i think we'll be more ready for dinamo.

So far this year in the Divizia A they have been **** but that's because they have been focusing only on CL qualifying (which they failed to accomplish) their coach said so but now that they are out and in the UEFA Cup they are gonna concentrate more on the Divizia A i'm sure. Anyway they have a very fast and good right winger in Florentin Petre a Romanian international and he can kill you on the right side, they also have Danciulescu last years number 1 scorer in the league with 22 goals in 30 matches he is their number one weapon obviously and he also an international. If you guys played like you played against Otelul to be honest I don't really give you guys a chance because Otelul at the moment for Divizia A standards is no a strong side at all but you know anything can happen. They are currently 11th in the league with 3 points in 3 games but that is because they were schocked in the season opener by Farul Constanta (similar to how Red Star were shocked in the Serbian league) then they won their second game but they got beat by Steaua ( :rockman: :rockman: :rockman: ) in the 3rd game (H) so they've had a tough start I hope that they keep on playing like this lol but I do wish them luck in Europe. Hope it helps you can also visit their site www.fcdinamo.ro it's a very good site and they have an english version as well, I would go in their forums and start cussin em out (H)

Yeah, you're probably right, it usually happens that way but it's always better when a side that has started from the beginning wins it all :).
