    Steaua plays an Europa Cup group match (against Twente, which is coached by former England NT coach Steve McClaren, btw) on Thursday, so there was no way Toja would be here in Dallas for a friendly. Which makes the fact that we can’t go due to sschedule conflicts less painful.

    Darn it! But knowing that there’s a UEFA Cup match — and knowing how crazy the Steaua owner is — it’s understandable…
