Hagi’s Kingdom

The United States will play Romania on June 26 at the Rose Bowl, in what promises to be a critical game, knowing it will have to stop midfielder Gheorghe Hagi, one of the world’s top playmakers. Hagi has played in 82 international matches. Sweeper Miodrag Belodedici runs the defense, but Ionut Lupescu and Gheorghe Popescu have also played the position well.
