Bulgaria internationals are on their way to lose all their chances to qualify for the World Finals in 2010 after the even match in Sofia 1-1 vs Ireland. Bulgarian players tried everything to win the match before their fervent fans but only won a point. Still Bulgaria have small chances to qualify for the World Finals if the team wins a point or more vs Italy this autumn and at the same Ireland lose vs Italy and Cyprus. Unfortunately these are just theoretical chances.
