Bulgaria football

Certainly one of the most finest dates in Bulgarian soccer history is November 17, 1993, when Emil Kostadinov netted in two goals against France in Paris, therfore Bulgaria qualified for the World Cup 1994. Under the guidance of Dimitar Penev, the Bulgarians, led by players like Hristo Stoitchkov, Iordan Letchkov and Krassimir Balakov, made a big impression, eliminating the then defending world cup winners, Germany in the last eight, with a 2-1 win. Many Bulgarians celebrated this win in Sofia and other Bulgarian cities. Having reached the last four, Bulgaria played Italy, but they were eliminated out in a controversial match. Hristo Stoitchkov won the Golden Boot as leading goal scorer in the competition with six goals.
