Music

Romania had a 100% semifinal qualifying record prior to the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest, but it was broken as The Humans represented the country and thus failed to qualify for the final. Everyone still got Romania's failure right, but the placing in their semifinal was way off as everyone had predicted Romania to finish 16th-18th in the semifinal. They ended up being only four points away from the Grand Final, with 107 points and coming 11th.

Romania's most popular sport is football. The Romania national football team qualified for the FIFA World Cup seven times; from the first three in 1930 to 1938, 1970 and 1990 to 1998. Their best result was the quarterfinals in 1994, where in the round of 16 they upset soccer powerhouse and defending finalists Argentina. They have also qualified for the UEFA European Championship, with Euro 2016 qualifying considered to be one of the greatest successes of Romanian football.
