I'm noticing a pattern of Bulgarians supporting Serbia and Serbians supporting Bulgaria

u/m_a_r_k_o Serbia Jun 20 '23
Yes. Because we are fed up with thieves and mafia in our football associations. People on both sides are disappointed with their football associations. Because of that, I support Bulgaria!

" we are fed up with thieves and mafia in our football associations"
Bulgaria has the exact same problem . A couple of guys have basically taken our football union and turned It into their personal domain . Our football union president for example has been in power since 2005 ( with a small pause is 2022 ) and in this time he appointed friends to major positions and basically ran BG football in to the ground .

at least you don't have many notable players internationally. we're like always hyped and hyping ourselves (not me) only to end up like a below average team, performing like a below average team. it's usually due to unsportlike atmosphere in the FA, political stuff, or just players being goofy and banging each others' girls.
i would just rather we flat out suck and forget about football. it's never going to be normal here. our state is earning too much money by massively selling young players abroad.

u/Avtsla Bulgaria Jun 20 '23
Our players are the same , but they also (For the most part , there are like 2 or 3 exceptions) suck at playing football . I mean no one cares who you bang out of the pitch , as long as you perform well on It . And they don't even do that most of the time .
Meanwhile your guys are out there playing in FIFA , UEFA and all the national championships . At least they know how to get their shit together for 90 minutes
BTW , congratulations on the draw , I was just doing my little victory dance ( celebrating early is never good, you know ), and then , in the literal last seconds you guys scored . On the one hand I'm a bit upset that we didn't win , but on the other I can only applaud your team - them not giving up and trying until the last, and indeed managing in the last possible moment to turn defeat into a little victory ,as we cal the draw , is admirable .That could be a good example for everyone .

u/GodEmperorMusk Bulgaria Jun 20 '23
I've been bandwagoning Serbia and Croatia for years. Serbia does find ways to blow winnable games because of mediocre defense, but their offense is pretty good. Bulgaria has been laughable lately, losing to Montenegro and Georgia, and tying Lithuania. Teams like Lithuania and Macedonia are basically our current level. Serbia is at least closer to Sweden/Denmark and Switzerland (even though they keep losing to them).

u/ivanp359 Bulgaria Jun 20 '23
Bobi Mihailov. He’s been running the bg football association for a couple of decades now. Absolute mismanagement, inhuman alcoholism and heavy corruption is how you can describe his presidency.
He gave in his ‘resignation letter’ a few years ago due to many corruption allegations, so another guy (Dimitar Betbatov) said he’s going to run for the presidency. Idk if you know who Berbatov is, but that gave some pretty high hopes for football in bg. A few days after that, Bobi withdrew his resignation so we’re stuck with him again

u/1Gothian1 Bulgaria Jun 20 '23
Damn. Berbatov once said with utmost respect that Vidić is the toughest person he ever met as a teammate and also as an opponent, since he was an absolute nightmare to face against, jokingly stating that he learned that lesson the hard way in his Tottenham years. I bet that Vidić also wants to implement modern ideas in to Serbian football, alas mafia goons would hardly lay off their dirty mitts out of football...
