Super hotties Hidetoshi Nakata, Bulgaria's Stefan Dimitrov (hello; we've not met yet), and Carlos Bocanegra (Saint-Éteinne) attended the Louis Vuitton Autumn/Winter 2011 menswear show in Paris earlier this week. Oh, Boca. It's been too long. Look at you there with your multi-coloured LV scarf and your dimples.

Here is the full transcript of the interview between Naiden Todorov with the newspaper, "24 Chasa" in Bulgaria.

Naiden Todorov: Mitko, how was the ride on the number 19 bus in Manchester?

Dimitar Berbatov: Great. It was cool. Very nicely done. Except that the weather was bad.

Next summer I'm travelling around Europe by rail during Euro 2012, aiming to see as many matches in as many different countries as possible. The tournament itself is being held in Poland and the Ukraine (as the image above handily illustrates) and I'll go to a couple of actual matches there but I want to watch the Croats play whilst in Croatia (with their fans), the Bulgarians whilst in Bulgaria, the Latvians whilst in Latvia, etc.

La siempre controvertida y polemica lista de la FIFA vuelve a sorprendernos ahora de manera agradable para muchos aficionados al fútbol mexicano, ya que a pesar de los escándalos extra cancha, dentro de ella la selección mayor avanzo 19 posiciones en el nuevo ranking de la FIFA y su clasificación mundial .

As one of his strongest fans since the time he was at White Hart Lane, it's not easy to ask the following question but "Does Sir Alex Ferguson still need Dimitar Berbatov at Old...

France v Brazil? Portugal v Argentina? Germany v Italy? Bosh. The big game of the international friendly week was found far off in the corner of Antalya, Turkey, where Bulgaria and Estonia scrapped it out to a 2-2 draw. Not your typical marquee friendly, but this wasn't your typical game.

There were pregame rumblings that the fix was in, and the fact that all four goals came via penalties did nothing to quiet the whispers.

Guess what has two thumbs and inadvertently dozed off before posting last night...Let's kick it off with the MLS Goal of the Week nominees - admittedly, not the juiciest bunch ever.Both goals from CSKA Sofia's win were scored beautifully by a young lad named Michel Platini - no, I'm not joking. I also have no explanation for the goal celebrations in Bulgaria.

Germany will need to stay cool under pressure when they make an end-of-season push for a perfect six wins out of six in Euro 2012 qualifying against Austria on Friday. Runners-up to Spain in 2008, the Germans are one of several heavyweight teams in action following the season finale in major domestic leagues.

Ah yes, another witty and original joke over our name. Hilarious, I know. This is why I'm a blogger. Anyway, I haven't been much of one recently and for that I apologise. Maybe I'll get my act together one of these days. Maybe. Not to worry though, as there hasn't been much going on. While some of our players get to lie back and relax during their holidays, others have been busy representing their country.

How quickly we or at least some people forget. When England were not so much knocked out of the World Cup last summer by Germany as blasted to smithereens in the manner of the Death Star obliterating an unsuspecting planet, there was much caterwauling on the state of the national team, as if England's tepid performance in the tournament overall had been a sudden bolt from the blue.

It has been well documented in the English press that today is the 25th anniversary of Diego Maradona's infamous "Hand of God" goal in Argentina's 2-1 victory over England in the 1986 FIFA World Cup. That game brought out the best and worst sides of a player who, in my opinion, was the greatest footballer ever to play the game and it is arguably what "El Diego" did in the whole of that tournament which turned me from indifferent to passaionate about the game of football.

Dener Augusto de Sousa was a very talented Brazilian player that disappeared without getting a lot of attention globally. In 1994, and just before the World Cup, his career, and even his whole life came into halt. He died in a car accident while driving his fast car.
He was a center-forward, and before turning 20, he played his only international games vs.

Dimitar Berbatov was last season's Premier League top scorer, although the 20 league goals he scored weren't enough to even get him a place on the bench for the Champions League final.

Berbatov watched the game from the dressing room, to keep his emotions hidden, something he claims has lead fans to misjudge him over the years.

There comes a point in every player's career when they must be sacrificed in favour of a younger man. The natural order of football means there will always be a younger model, keen to take your place in the side. This is even more pertinent in international football, with players increasingly wanting to extend their club careers.

Some greeted this past weekend's international break, which saw England brutalize Bulgaria but wiggle past Wales, as an unwelcome intrusion on the new Premier League season. We've often read about the tension players feel in prioritizing club or...

There aren't many things which can put the Bulgarian A Professional Football Group (seriously, that's its name) into the main stage spotlight. Those things include, but are not limited to, brawls, corruption, ultra violence, transfer foibles and Things Vaguely Related To Dimitar Berbatov, for a thousand, Alex.

Centre forwards across the world are being linked with a move to Spurs but manager Harry Redknapp is looking to an existing member of our strike force to score the goals that will help the team achieve its aims for the rest of the season.

No longer will we have to lose him to the Asian Cup or other international related selections. This is good news for the club since it means a more rested player while others are incurring an extra 90-180 minutes of game time and potential injuries.

Michael Dawson took centre stage for once at England's press conference yesterday and spoke of his fears over the injury that he sustained on his last international outing.

Dawson made a welcome return to the Spurs' defence on Saturday after a one match ban, following his sending off at Fulham the previous week.

Por sino te has enterado Wikileaks nos ha mostrado los cables entre varios países y alguno secretos a voces se han revelado a nivel mundial, me encuentro que tambien el fútbol soccer sale involucrado.
Los mismos búlgaros han dicho el fútbol salió manchado de corrupción en varios cables,los cuales mencionan que el fútbol Bulgaro esta directa e indirectamente manejado por el crimen organizado.

Spurs' trio of players were largely interested onlookers during last night's England friendly with Denmark.

Michael Dawson played for 60 minutes and although he seems to be sharing the blame with John Terry for Denmark's goal, he will have been hoping to have staked a claim for a place in future starting line-ups.

CHAMONIX/LONDON, Feb 11: Football officials from Bulgaria and Estonia have not waited for an independent inquiry. Amid rapidly escalating concern over ‘betting bending' they have asked UEFA, jointly, to investigate their own international friendly in Turkey on Wednesday. The match, in a four-team tournament in Antalya, ended 2-2 with all four goals coming from the [.

Irish Women's Boxing Champ Katie Taylor star's in Bipolar Empires's new music video, punching down a wall. But during the week-end she felt like she was banging her head against the wall in the Multi-Nations tournament in Bulgaria.

Katie fought hometown girl Denica Eliseeva in their Lightweight Final bout but despite been on top for most of the fight and on all neutrals scorecard the fight went to the Bulgarian 5-1, such was the daylight robbery of the win her opponent Denica Eliseeva apologised for her win.

Ahead of Arsenal's trip to Catlunya next week, Ex Barcelona shadow striker Hristo Stoichkov of Bulgaria, has lavished praise on featured player Nicklas Bendtner. Bendtner has a chance to start through the middle when The Gunners' travel to the Camp Nou. Last season Bendtner played the central role and scored early on to give Arsenal a suprising 0-1 lead but the game ended 4-1 to Barcelona after Lionel Messi took the spotlight by scoring 4 goals on the night.

England, Germany and the Republic of Ireland all recorded victories in their Euro 2012 qualifying fixtures. Group G leaders England and Montengro received a huge boost as Bulgaria and Switzerland drew 0-0 in Sofia. The result leaves the pair six points adrift at the halfway stage with Wales anchored at the foot of the table.

Former Liverpool goalkeeper Nikolay Mihaylov has claimed Pepe Reina has wanted to leave the club for "one or two years".
Bulgaria international Mihaylov, 22, was signed by the Reds in 2007 and loaned out to FC Twente in a bid to secure a work permit.
He has since joined Twente on a permanent deal but, as he has now become a regular for his country, he has claimed Liverpool retain an option to take him back to Anfield.
