Pics: Romania have a brilliant reason for putting sums on their jerseys

Great pass from 5+2, threading the ball through to 20-9.

Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but Romania's footballers won't care and neither do we. The squad have dispensed with regular numbers on their training kit ahead of Sunday evening's goalless draw against Spain, instead wearing a series of mathematical equations on their backs. It's all part of an effort to help Romanian children improve their maths, which we think is a pretty great effort from the national team. https://twitter.com/alexbellos/status/714071356942508033 https://twitter.com/loveliest_pics/status/714080246329438208
