It may be an issue, but I don’t think it’s anywhere near the list of most significant ones. Hungary has improved a lot in recent years, while having a similar fertility rate.

Not really, they are either too old or dead at this point.

This seems credible, nothing other than rumors in Bulgaria. I will make sure to update the post once this is official and when we have a bit more information.

Likely because the contents taped phone call were slightly less damning than the actual allegations. Filipov (construction company boss) claimed that there were two phone calls, and that the second was likely taped as the tone was different. The claim was before the leak happened too. I have absolutely no clue why the BFS representative still slid in an implied threat in material intended to be leaked. I was mindboggled as I was listening.

The game will most likely be played, at the moment, Karzhali is the place with the highest probability. I’ve just started writing a post explaining the situation (and what led to it) in detail, should be up within an hour.

Red card in minute 4 and you still win 8-0. That is a Bayern Munich moment if I’ve ever seen one.

Must be the most frustrating shit for Chelsea fans.

You know the other guys can barely pass the center of the pitch, yet you can never make a particularly dangerous attack, and when you do, you screw it up anyway. Then the other guys get the ball for 30 seconds and you are LOSING, even though it feels you should be 2-0 up.

THE FUCK’S A CONDOM

Goodbye and good riddance!

Despite admittedly, not being given a ton to work with, he has done a truly horrific job during his tenure. Consistently playing players outside of their natural positions, leaving players fairly unmotivated, with subs that make you question reality. He has even managed to obtain 1 point from Lithuania over 2 legs, despite (with a lot of respect to them) them being a lot worse in terms of individual players.

Now, the next, and considerably more difficult step toward reversing this catastrophic downfall is getting rid of the problem at the core (or at least one of the problems at the core) - the people in charge of the Bulgarian Football Union (BFS) who hired him - the ones who seem to never do anything right, also the ones who refuse to see the their own fault. We must not let them wash their hands by firing this awful coach, they themselves hired, then wasted our time and our resources with.

Currently, on minute 18 (that’s how many years this administration has been in power for) of nearly every club match in Bulgaria, there are “resignation” chants. There is also an organization to gather for once in the stands of the national stadium (we don’t have a lot of attendence recently) for the game against Hungary and to make our thoughts clear there as well. I hope that all of this continues until everyone from this awful, corrupt management resigns.

The headlines a few months ago were “Ludogorets beat the great Ajax 0-1 in Amsterdam”. More and more it seems like the more impressive feat is the one from 1 week before - “Ludogorets lose 1-4 at home against relegation candidate”.
