Seeing others complaining about football, as a Bulgarian makes me laughing...

It’s been 14 years since our last Euro apperance and it will be 14 in 28’ IF we manage to qualify in the next. I’m not even thinking about 30’ WC :(

bro are you the sports karma farmer of the sub?

it's always : ___ (are) eliminated ______. Thoughts?

Nordics are always better than balkans in football. It’s because they value team work and efficiency more than individual skill, fame, tattoos… in Romania 90% of players live a lavish lifestyle but their maximum achievement is playing in saudi or chinese league, whereas nordics always train harder and play for top european teams. It’s the same reason for which balkans are mostly a shithole whereas the nordics have the highest quality of life in the world.

You’re right bro, look at people like Luka Modric, he totally wasted his talents with a lavish lifestyle and tattoos, he could have played in Real Madrid or Milan into his 40s and won more champion leagues that most teams in Europe, but instead he had to see all those Nordic midfield players dominate Europe, win ballon d’ors etc. And not only in football, who is the Jovic of the Balkans in elite basketball? Nowhere because balkan NBA players get all tattooed and vacation hard in Dubai and shit. You are so right bro, 100% accurate non racist analysis bro. Jeep them coming.

Scottish here ; we were very lucky to win (Belarus too) and been very impressed with Greece. Watched the Denmark game last night, and again; it was errors and madcap moments that cost Greece.

Also, two almost tap in chances early on in both games against us and the Danes went in, probably would've been a different result.

I hope you get to the Euros. You play expansive, exciting football and your fans (especially the ones at Hampden) are a great bunch o' lads.

That is weird, didn't they do great during the UEFA Nations League ?

[-]

Baoooba@reddit

They have a very young team. Some good performances, but overall lacking consistency. Maybe something they'll gain with experience you'd hope.

[-]

bljuva_57@reddit

Weren't they the absolute dominant football force in europe one year and win some kind of competition while playing some of the most beautiful football you ever saw?

[-]

Mminas@reddit

The team had decent performances at times but made too many costly mistakes.

Welcome to the club buddy

XenophonSoulis@reddit

At this rate, we're gonna lose against Belarus too. Back to the Faroe club for the foreseeable future...

Salty_Shopping7534@reddit

Is it still possible to qualify due to how well we did in the nations league because they say the best ranked teams make it to the playoffs or are we not able to because we didn’t win the group?

[-]

Many-Rooster-7905@reddit

Nations league qualifing scam is possible just for euro competition, not for world cup

[-]

SadlyNotPro@reddit

Unfortunate for sure, but considering how young the team is, hopefully this will become a big lesson to learn to do better in the future.

[-]

Lazlum@reddit

Ok wait,but can we still Qualify from Nations League?

[-]

RacktheMan@reddit

No only second placed teams have this chance.

rotting7@reddit

Very promising future in general, i dont have seen ever so many tragic mistakes from defenders . We want to build up but dont have the players or experience toface the pressure from the opponent, and with some tactical mistakes we are out.

[-]

seti_at_home@reddit

Quite unfortunate for Greece, we watched the game and cheered for Greece, but .... Which Balkan countries are going to World Cup?

[-]

EnesAkhan@reddit

Is there any of them guaranteed to go? I dont remember any . Tho Croatia prolly will go .. Bosnia doing good in their group nd Turkiye is most likely will end in 2nd place as well .. rest .. hard to say honestly

Bulgaria , Greece already eliminated . Montenegroand ,Serbia most likely are getting eliminated

There are several contenders for 2nd place in other groups but who knows

Ohh bdw its not guaranteed to make it even if they place 2nd so yea there is quite an ordeal

If Wales beats Belgium and we beat both Wales and Kazakhstan, Macedonia is going to the WC. But yeah first we need Wales to do it's job, and judging by the previous matches it's not an impossible scenario 😏

LionT09@reddit

Maybe our first time going to the World Cup 🇽🇰!
Very exciting matches! Still close!

If i understand correctly: 🇭🇷🇲🇰 have qualified, and the following are still in the running: 🇦🇱🇧🇦🇽🇰🇹🇳

[-]

Crisbo05_20@reddit

Macedonia have not qualified yet but are first in the group.

Croatia qualified unless somehow we absolutely fumble against Faroe and Montenegro and Czechia scores like 15 goals against Gibraltar.

North Macedonia is first in the group but can fall for third depending on how all of the upcoming games go.

Albania, Romania, Bosnia,Turkey and Kosovo are still in the running

Slovenia, Serbia, Bulgaria have mathematical chance but realistically are out

Greece is eliminated.

Thank you for clarifying!

Relief, to be honest. Not having to watch them do the same terrible mistakes on an international field is taking a lot of stress away.

Yet another thing in common with Romanian and Bulgarian tourists a true easy and heartfelt icebreaker because in Balkans we bond thru pain not love like the gays 😂
