Bulgaria qualified to 5 different World Cups before Stoichkov and only to 2 with him. Also we have 2 Olympic medals in football before him.
Still the generations of the last 15 years are without a doubt the worst in the 100+ history of our football.
Marek Hamšík thanks his 2nd tonights goal became the historic Top scorer with 24 goals. Any other Slovak player has ever scored more than 23 goals in the national team of former Czechoslovakia or nowadays independent Slovakia until tonight.
Bravo Marek !
It isn’t suspended by rain, it’s suspended due to lightning in the area.
Lightning is a minimum 50 minute delay (play won’t resume until there hasn’t been lightning for 30 minutes, and then teams get 20 minutes to warm up).
The universal qualifier was mostly done in 3x3 to avoid continental representation. Sadly, clubs have too much power for there to be a two stage qualifier in football. Though I guess for women they could have had a tournament during the same time as the SheBelieves/Algarve/Cyprus Cups which includes the best performing nations from their respective continental championships (minus nations already qualified).
Some pics I took while hillwalking at home....
Flynn was enjoying himself, exploring every inch of woodland.
And he spotted a nice place to cool down....
Ok, Flynn I think you have had enough bath time. Time to go home...
