It took 20 seconds to shatter the France's march to the 1994 World Cup. In the 90' minute Emil
Kostadinov lashed a ball past Bernard Lama to win the game for Bulgaria, 2-1 and shatter French
hopes for qualifying for the 1994 World Cup. David Ginola could have run out the clock but his
errant cross led to the Kostadinov disaster.

Dirty Tackle 16 November @ 05:58 AM EST
Well hello there.
I see you've caught me wearing an old Argentina national team shirt. Naturally, I'm wearing the
old one because it was significantly cheaper than the new one and because it was the only one I
could find in the dryers at the laundromat. ... Why am I wearing an Argentina shirt at all, you
ask?

Decir que la jornada de clasificación que se ha disputado este fin de semana no ha sido muy
emocionante es faltar a la verdad... o haberse quedado con el trámite que jugó España la tarde
del sábado.
A falta de dos partidos por jugarse en cada grupo (salvo en el grupo 9, ya finalizado por contar
con cinco equipos y donde se clasificó Holanda) muchas cosas podían decidirse ya en forma de
billetes directos, oportunidades en repesca y grandes ausencias, aunque los grandes aún tienen
alguna opción para la jornada intersemanal que se avecina.

This was an interesting story I came across today. Apparently there is a "Little Italy" of sorts
in the Bulgarian First Division (official named the Bulgarian TBI A Professional Football Group,
which is ridiculous), as Bulgarian club PFC Botev Plovdiv is owned by an Italian owner, has an
Italian chairman, an Italian-Congolese sporting director, an Italian manager, and a roster that
contains 10 Italian players (soon to be 11).

want to start a group stage well and we've done just that. With some good home performances we
may yet progress.
