The first game at home, versus Universitatea Craiova, was played in a stadium packed with enthusiastic fans that got behind the team in spectacular (and intimidating for the visiting team) fashion

Everything seemed perfect and Steaua was considered one of the main favorites to win the league, even though it was hard to believe that this completely new team won’t pay at some point for its lack of cohesion. The suprise came right after the second win of the season, followed by Becali’s first statements regarding the team and its players. His moderate comments (like the observation that Tatarusanu, the keeper, should have come out for a cross, at Universitatea’s goal) comparing with what he was used to say in the past angered Piturca, who announced on Thursday thatAustralia's richest woman Gina Rinehart has started new litigation against her children's trust fund to prevent it from receiving millions of dollars in royalties from a Rio Tinto joint venture.

Mrs Rinehart, whose wealth was recently estimated at $6 billion, filed the fresh salvo against the trust that manages the inheritance of her four children – John Hancock, Bianca Rinehart, Hope Welker and Ginia Rinehart – late last month in the Federal Court.

The legal action comes as Mrs Rinehart hit the headlines again this week with a bid for Australia's largest cattle station from Kidman & Co for $365 million.
