It is counted as one of the weakest preliminary campaign our national team has ever played.

"Moldova has not once qualified to an European or Wold Cup. I cannot say that we played better or worse than those before us. I believe we were on the same level. Perhaps the reason being that we started playing more football than in previous preliminary campaigns" Radu Gânsari declared.

"It was a failure for us. If we overlook at the previous games, we can see that the boys gave their best. Unfortunately, this is our level at the moment. We must think of ways to improve ourselves" Team's captain Alexandru Epureanu said.
