Romania's only serious test here were Germany in the group stage (29-29). Romania were in the lead 18-13 at halftime, but they were limited to only 11 goals in the second half. Laslo is their best scorer and has made half of all of their assists. When she stops, they cannot put anything together. Her role at the WC in Moscow became even more important with the absence of Bazalia, their best shooter. They have no replacement for her, Olocoser is playing at her position, but she was mostly focused on defense before. On the other side we have Croatia who achieved this success and qualified here mostly thanks to their great defense (France 22-17, Austria 24-23, Brazil 26-25, and the defeat against Korea, their limit was under 50 goals 23-26, and yesterday's great win over Hungary 26-25). They did not concede over 26 goals in any game. They announced they will go hard from the start, which means they will focus defense on Laslo. If they manage to stop her, it's unlikely Romania will score over 25 goals. I am also taking into account fatigue and a lot of games that the both teams played in a short period, and the fact that Romania rely on 9-10 players in rotation.
