Let's Revisit The Time A Portuguese Goalie Brought Kung Fu Flair To A Romanian Soccer Game
When F.C. Astra Ploiesti faces CFR Cluj 1907 in some Romanian league action tomorrow, it will be a rematch of the 2009 match in which Cluj goalkeeper Nuno Claro drove his spikes into the chest of Astra's Georgian Paun. Alas, Paun now plays for Dinamo Bucureşti now so it's probably not worth tracking down an underground Romanian bar which offers drink specials during Liga I Bergenbier bloodsport events.
