Damn man. Well, for both our countries, I really do hope things improve sooner rather than later.
Internationals October (Euro Qualifiers + Friendlies)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Sadly I think its just going to take time, every generation will have less and less, hopfully, and things will change, there is a lot of talk of education, communities coming together etc but the root of the bigotry will always be there I am afraid.
Agreed. We can but hope, but I also appreciate that is probably being naive.
Statement from Prime Minister Bojko Borisov:
Призовавам Борислав Михайлов незабавно да си подаде оставката като президент на Българския футболен съюз! След вчерашната позорна загуба на българския национален отбор и предвид лошите резултати на футбола ни, разпоредих на министър Красен Кралев държавата да прекрати всякакви отношения с БФС, включително и финансови, до оттеглянето на Борислав Михайлов от поста. Категорично осъждам и поведението на част от присъстващите на стадиона. Недопустимо е България, която е една от най-толерантните държави в света, и хора от различни етноси и религии живеят в мир, да се свързва с расизъм и ксенофобия.
Strong words.
"One of the most tolerant countries in the world"
Them too? It's getting crowded at the top.

Aaand hes gone
Not only Mihaylov resigned but the special forces are in the building of BFU and are searching for evidence of corruption.. Such a nice little teatro but the international image of Bulgaria got hurt once again..
Not only Mihaylov resigned but the special forces are in the building of BFU and are searching for evidence of corruption.. Such a nice little teatro but the international image of Bulgaria got hurt once again..They would hardly claim a moral victory when they essentially just cost themselves watching the national team battle it out with one of Europe's top teams.
On top of that, why don't they just use Bulgaria as an example moving forward and ban them from any international competition. That includes, world cup, euros, CL, and the EL. That would send a message that racism is not allowed. Genuine fans in fear of losing the privilege of quality football will point towards the culprits. May be extreme but the current procedures of closed doors or monetary punishments don't work.
@Catt how big will the win margin be tonight?
There’s a match?
You will note that I used the word racist as opposed to Bulgaria football supporters.
These racists are not football supporters. They use football as their media to express their twisted views.
So they had no interest in the football and would have loved to have stopped the football. That would have been for them a badge of honour.
You my friend are looking at this from a football perspective, which is completely understandable. To comprehend their motives you would need to look at it from a racists angle.
Publicity, Respect from those with no respect, We showed them. We stood up for our particular beliefs. And the culprits wanted their 15 minutes of fame.
However, yesterday it was football that won, 0-6 and that was important.
Yes, and you're supposed to watchThere’s a match?
En annen gangYes, and you're supposed to watch
There's no logic in that, mate, and it's repeated by well-meaning people like yourself and also those who seek to avoid blame and deep debate. What if Bulgaria had won the match - would that have been a 'victory for football'? 'A victory for racism'?
So no hope of inviting you over for football, pizza and bear then.En annen gang
Disappointing.
Hey, I'll never turn down good company + football!
I'm not so sure about a bear though. Might be dangerous

Don't worry, I'm just a bit anal retentiveSorry, my head's not quite there tonight
Norway playing some good football.
That's quite alrightDon't worry, I'm just a bit anal retentive
Lindelof caught under the striker once again. He is a liability in the air.
I also heard that Iceland will probably face teams from Nation's League group C due to teams in Group B having to play each other so if Switzerland qualify directly we'll play Bulgaria and the likes.
Portugal will be Pot 2 then. 6 groups and there probably won't be 6 European teams ranked higher than them in total besides who wins the group.
Yeah that wasnt going wide .... good save de gea
On the corner he even ducked when the ball came over him!
De GOD is back
Great save DDG
He's back for Spain?
De Gea did in 30 minutes more than in the whole World Cup
Yeah hes finally performing for them
Good saves then?
Happy to hear that.
De Gea looking good for Sunday.
Lindelof moving the ball nicely! And a great block!
Overall a good half for him imo.
