We're back on the up, slightly, in the last few years. Both Bulgaria and Romania. But when I say slightly I genuinely mean it - our players don't have the mentality to play at the top level, they just want minimum effort and maximum fame/money, so just stick around here and achieve nothing. Gruev and a few others are exceptions to the rule obvs.
It's still the same, but now the foreigner rules are abused so most players aren't native, or get naturalised. We have a certified racist currently as head of the FA so expect as little of that as possible, as we hate success; we have values, you see.
Somewhat on topic but it makes me angry - our national TV coverage had an ex CSKA player Vladimir Manchev, who was a bit part player in France and Spain for a few years, criticise the current generation of Spanish and Italian players last night. You know, from his massive experience of only being good as a player in Bulgaria (failed as manager) and a flop everywhere else, he knew he should criticise players like Yamal and several other youngsters' behaviour and potential and kept bringing up his own
They also bring out Bozhinov for literally anything and he just sits there in silence as he has 2 braincells. Does my head in.
