What does the excitement and buildup for the World Cup look like in your country?
-As it was expected we didn't qualified (Romania) but we are a country that love football as it is our main sport, pretty much like all over Europe so everyone is excited. Currently living in UK so everyone is speaking about penalties, lol.

What’s your first World Cup memory?
- France '98, I was 6 and I remember I use to collect the stickers with the footballers, great times. I still remember the mascot , was the best ever!

What player do you think has had the best World Cup in your lifetime?
- Ronaldo probably, the 2002 edition was just gold.

Do you base your Top Eleven tactics off of a World Cup team?
-Not at all but on the 100th season of Top Eleven I followed more or less Brazil '02, renamed all my players, wear their kit and emblem and we won the treble. Was very nice...

This edition it might be very special as it can be the last one for both Messi and Cristiano who never won it so all the eyes would be on them.
