Emanuel Roșu studied public administration but only to have a degree in something. He was always passionate about football. Writing about it, that is, as we've seen him play and he should feel fortunate he never took that road. He is based in Bucharest and has reported on Champions League, Europa League, and European Championship matches for various media outlets in Europe. He wrote stories for The Guardian, BBC, FourFourTwo, and many more. He represents Romania in the vote for the "Ballon d'Or", the most important individual trophy in world football.

Euro 2004, my first win. I couldn't believe that after so many near misses, I had finally predicted the outcome of a few matches correctly. Eight games, nonetheless. I won enough money to buy myself pizza each evening, for an entire week. I lived a high-calorie European tournament, that's for sure.

Why on Earth? Arsenal - Middlesbrough, August 2004. Arsenal had just celebrated their historic undefeated league triumph the season before. The invincible streak was still on, with the Gunners setting record after record. But I decided to do what no one else in the betting world was doing: bet against Arsenal. It was the last event on a coupon with a +1,800 return. And in the 53rd minute, Arsenal was down 3-1 at Highbury. Needless to say what happened over the next half-an-hour. Arsenal won the match 5-3.
