The minnows in the 'Group of Death', don't dismiss Romania's chances of causing an upset at Euro 2008.
Romania finished top of their qualifying group, ahead of Holland, and also averaged more than two goals per game.
With quality at the top end of the pitch, and also a solid back-line, Romania have the potential to give Group C rivals France, Holland and Italy a fright.
It would be a surprise if Romania did make it through to the quarter-finals, but the European Championship is capable of throwing up some shock results.
In his second spell as coach of the national team, Victor Piturca will be thankful that he has been given the chance to lead his country at the European Championship.
Piturca guided Romania through the qualifiers for Euro 2000 only to be sacked before the tournament after a dispute with senior players, including the legendary Gheorghe Hagi.
He returned to the role in December 2004 when he replaced Anghel Iordanescu and, though he failed to take the team to the 2006 World Cup, he steered Romania to the top of their Euro 2008 qualifying group.
His other credits as a coach include a successful spell in charge of the Under 21 side and he also won the league title as Steaua Bucharest boss in 2001.
As a player, Piturca was a lethal striker, primarily for Steaua, and he was part of the 1986 side which beat Barcelona on penalties in the European Cup final.
He also played in the 1989 European Cup final against Milan, yet only managed 13 international caps, scoring six times.
