This Bulgarian squad was absolutely fantastic! I've been to Bulgaria twice and many comercial establishments have this team poster on the wall. Up Bulgaria, Greetings from Brazil.
10:52 The second goal is absolutely brutal. The anger, the force within that shot also Lama hitting his upper body in the post is amazing. Personally for me the most brutal goal in WC history, if counted the importancy, timing, venue, opponent, everything.
i can 100% agree ! This was not a goal ...this was the most brutal decapitation in football history - the timing , the importance , the brutality, the anger in the shot ...lol ..the accuracy..!!
+Star At The Window talking about timing. had that defender reached him a split second more - a split second more! - the kick would have been deflected and another football story is written. Soul crunching. A split second.
Да,тогда болгары дали джазу,игра с Францией вышла в итоге эпической,а уже летом 1994г Болгария выдала чудо- результат,сумев обыграть Аргентину,Мексику и Германию.4 место -сильнейший показатель болгар за всю историю.
I'm French, I was born in 1986. Of course, Israel and Bulgaria are infamous matchs in my country. But today, I'm very sad to see how Bulgarian football is. The national team is weak now, no more Stoitchkov, Penev or Letchkov :/
Bulgaria weakened just after the 1994 World Cup. Since then, they never managed to qualify to the knockout stage of both world cup and european champioship, and they took part for the last time in 1998 when lost 1-6 to Spain.
I can't even put words to this. Every time I watch it, I can't help but feel a lot of emotion for Bulgaria. At the same time, I can't imagine what the french players must have felt like after having such an excellent run individually to be chosen for the national team only to be eliminated at the last minute before living their dream of going to the World Cup. Life is so short and some of those players were not chosen for the next World Cup. So they missed their opportunity. Such is the valley of tears called life. May the Lord keep them at peace over this disappointment. He has a reason for everything.
They had been European champions in 1984, reached the WC semis in 1986, they had some taste of success but not this team, even though made of talented players, the PSG-Marseille divide was a major factor...
@@chelsblue7370 That is very interesting! Of course, they won the WC in 1998. Zizi came into the picture in August of 1994 and Henry in 1997. That duo was unstoppable in the 1998 WC. France also played the 1998 WC at home, which helped a lot.
After this match wherever a bulgarian club met a french referee they were on the loosing side. The first one was the semifinal on the WC 94 with Italy. The whole world saw the hand of Costacurta in the penalty area but not the french referee. Otherwise we would have to watch a Bulgaria - Brazil final and then who knows?!
Велики българи ЮНАЦИ,, БЪЛГАРИЯ ПОКЛОН ЗА ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНАТА ИГРА.НЯМА ДА СЕ ВЪРНЕ ТОВА ВРЕМЕ КОГАТО В БЪЛГАРИЯ ИМАШЕ ФУТБОЛ И ИСТИНСКИ МЪЖЕ НА ТЕРЕНА,ТЕ ИМАХА СЪРЦА НА ПОБЕДИТЕЛИ И НА ИСТИНСКИ БЪЛГАРСКИ ЛЪВОВЕ!!!!
I remember watching this match, not realizing the next summer was going to be epic for Bulgaria in the World Cup! Bulgaria’s Golden Era for soccer indeed.
@@nerdbit84 Bulgaria was a lumberjack squad, there was nothing golden about them and it's a good thing that this nation doesn't play a big role in world football anymore. Luckily, their flight to the top, where they didn't win any titles in this period of time,☝ not even 3rd place at the World Cup 1994, was short-lived. And bye 🤮👎
France didnt have luck. Thats all. As u can see all the time they were attacking here at yet Bulgarians had two chances and they exploited them 100%. No shame in losing to this generation of Bulgaria either. Anyone could have lost to this Bulgaria. Even Brazil or Italy.

Помню тот отбор, французам надо было в двух матчах, Израиль и Болгария, матчи дома, набрать одно очко! А сборная у Франции тогда тоже золотое поколение было! Папен, Кантона, Жинола!!!!!! И вот сначала они Израилю проиграли, ну а потом этот матч, у болгар тоже чудо команда собралась! Насколько помню, парни почти на последних минутах гол забили и забил если не изменяет память Эмил Костадинов! Ну и в США они отлично играли, помню Лечкова, Михайлова, Балакова, ну и великий Христо Стоичков!!!!!
Что значит "парни почти на последних минутах гол забили и забил если не изменяет память Эмил Костадинов!" ??? )))))) ты же под видео пишешь. ты видео не посмотрел чтоли ??? ))))
Gran gol de Kostadinov y medio gol de Penev que hizo un pase milimetrico y le puso la pelota a Kostadinov como como si fuese con la mano. Kostadinov no dudo y definio con sangre fria. Tambien con complicidad del penultimo defensor frances (no Blanc) que debio marcar a Kostadinov en vez de tratar interceptar la pelota. Kostadinov le gano la posicion y pudo definir antes de la llegada de Blanc. Golazo.

Watching this game for the very first time 30 years later, i could still feel the pulpable tension. Missing out on a flight to USA 94 was unthinkable for the French. Historic game, historic goal!
France playing a home game qualifies with only a draw, Bulgaria needs an away match win in FRANCE to qualify, you add the tactics along with the manner and timing of the goals to the mix, and you have one of the craziest Classics in Football.
Underrated player. He nearly went to Bayern, but they couldn't agree on a price with Stuttgart back in 1998 I think it was. He also had a huge salary rivaling those of the best paid players around Europe until 2000, so he was happy at VfB.
До сих пор помню ту мощную команду, Стоичков, Сираков, Балаков, Костадинов, Лечков. Крассимир Балаков вообще потрясающе крутил угловые, я офигевал от этого. До сих пор не вижу футболиста который как Балаков подавал угловые ну близко к нему француз Пайе

Some french players learned from this and wan the world cup 4 years after: Deschamps, Desailly, Blanc, Petit .... But Ginola, Sauzée, Papin gave up national team Cantona continued 2 years and after was fired by the coach
Unbelievable, crazy insane ,one of the happiest moments in my life, I was only 17 and playing football myself, but that was incredible. Anyone who experienced that is verry lucky for the chance to see the Golden generation in action. Happy to be able to watch Stoichkov, Penev, Kostadinov and Trifon Ivanov live in many matches, when they were part of CSKA. Very sad of what Bulgarian football became.
it was like yesterday, i was rushing back home from school late evening to watch the game and it was freezing cold, but i was a Emil Kostadinov fan, i enjoyed the Bulgarian football of the 90s and liked the win, but felt so bad for the French that was very brutal loss
These Bulgarian "Titans" reached the semi-final 1994 and almost make it to the final Who knows !!! maybe win it but they faced Mighty Baggio Forza Italia 🇮🇹 Forza Bulgaria 🇧🇬
Une leçon , bravo a Didier Deschamps , Laurent Blanc qui sont restés et ont gagné la coupe du monde 98 et l'euro 2000 . Cette soirée mémorable est une grande force de l'équipe de France comme la 1/2 Finale face à l'Allemagne en 1982
Et Petit qui, ce soir là avait été rendu responsable lui aussi. On pourra dire tout ce qu'on veut. les arguments de Ginola n'expliqueront jamais le but réél de son centre qu'un cadet d'une équipe de village n'aurait jamais fait.
@@pequeuxdarleux1480 ok mais derrière les bulgares font unr remontée sur tout le terrain sans se faire stopper et ça finit avec cette frappe imparable de Kostadinov. Gérard Houiller m'avait tellement énervé d'accuser Ginola comme un lâche. Un entraîneur ne salit pas son joueur dans des moments comme ça. Ginola en a payé le prix fort et c'est injuste. Il méritait tellement de faire parti de l'équipe victorieuse de 1998. Il était très bon.
La Coupe du monde 98 a été acheté, et dire le contraire c'est être de mauvaise foi et absolument rien connaître au football. La plus grande équipe du Brésil de l'histoire se fait battre 3-0 par une équipe de bras cassé ! Ronaldo et son équipe qui était en mode bulldozer tout au long de la compétition ont étonnamment été transparent en finale, c'est à peine si ils couraient.
@@jeanphilippehoutteman1506 Pas que le tirage au sort qui a été truqué. N'importe qui qui a vu la finale et qui a un minimum de bon sens sait qu'elle était truqué et que les Brésiliens avaient reçu un très beau chèque pour ne pas jouer.
France(1998) was the fourth nation team that won the world cup after not participate in the previous world cup (earlier Italy in 1934, Uruguay in 1950 and West Germany in 1954).
France lost the previous home match to Istael 2:3. They needed 1 point in last two home matches and they lost both. The most dramatic qualification I saw
As a Bulgarian born after 1994 I feel pretty sad that our team is so bad now and cant watch my country on the big stage. I always have to support another countries.... but the WC in 2026 is in USA again 👀 Lets hope we can qualify
Just heavy that goal. The Goal of the century if one thinks about it. Bulgaria beating Germany later on... Fantastic shoot also. Just a nightmare to France...
@@onthe4572 Without Cantona they still won The World Cup in style after they returned to the competition in 1998 after missing 1990 and 1994 tournament. 🇨🇵
My dear French friend, but BG had the unforgettable summer of ‘94….Yes, there are no notable players in BG football teams as of now, but youngsters will come up….as did the great players you mentioned… you forgot Nasko Sirakov and the young guys at that time…Danny Borimirov, Zlatko Yankov, Kiriyakov and all of the 40 of that team.
Cette défaite fut un mal pour un bien car elle a permis une remise en cause profonde du football. Et plus tard ça a abouti à la victoire 04 ans plus tard
Cette élimination était une bonne chose cela a permis à l’équipe de France de se réformer puis on a gagné la coupe du monde 98 par contre la Bulgarie avait une bonne équipe elle était arrivée en demi final au USA94 donc pour moi elle mérite sa qualification.
França e Dinamarca. Duas seleções quase classificadas para a Copa de 94 e deixaram a vaga escapar no último jogo. Mas a França perdeu a vaga para a Bulgária, era uma seleção histórica, muito, mas muito forte. Já a Dinamarca perdeu pra Espanha e perdeu a vaga para a Irlanda.
Vive la 🇧🇬 🇧🇬 🇧🇬 🇧🇬 🇧🇬 BULGARIE 🇧🇬 🇧🇬 🇧🇬 🇧🇬 🇧🇬, le plus vieux peuple du monde, selon l'ancien calendrier bulgare 🇧🇬 aujourd'hui nous sommes 7527 années, il n'existe pas plus vieil calendrier du monde que ancien calendrier bulgare 🇧🇬 !!!!!!!!
great game, being pro-France (Papin fan, not really into Stoichkov), watched highlights on polish sports news :) btw. Balakov, Stoichkov, Kostandinov and (ill) Penev - lethal Bulgarians!
Good thing France recovered after that but historically France is very inconsistent. 94 didn’t qualify then won in 98 then got eliminated in the first round in 2002 then reached the final in 2006 then got eliminated in the first round again in 2010 and won last World Cup. Let’s see what they come up with this year
Yo vi ese partido por las pantallas canal 13 Chile lo transmitieron Francia perdio en ultima instancia Bulgaria se clasifico en ultima instancia para el mundial EEUU94 gano de visita
Sempre tive curiosidade de saber como uma seleção forte como a frança ficou de fora da copa 94, a seleção francesa sempre foi uma seleção forte mesmo antes de ser campeão mundial. Porém nesse jogo teve pela frente a melhor Bulgária da história, Stoichkov era um fora de série e ainda tinha bons jogadores ofensivos. Não a toa a Bulgária chegou a semifinal de 94 eliminando os atuais campeões Alemanha ( que tinha uma seleção bastante envelhecida). E creio que a França perdeu a vaga na partida contra 🇮🇱 pois esse Bulgária seria um jogo complicado de qualquer forma. Abraços do 🇧🇷.
A França antes não era uma seleção forte era apenas mediana ! sua melhor colocação tinha sido um 3° lugar na copa de 1958 com a geração de koppa e Fontaine. Só começou a aparecer para o cenário mundial aparti 1984 quando ganhou seu primeiro título a Euro de 84 antes disso tinha voltado a copa depois de 20 anos fora , fez uma copa pífia em 1978 e só mostrou algum 1982 com a geração de Platini e cia ficando em 3° lugar de novo ! na realidade a seleção francesa so passou a ser uma seleção de primeira prateleira depois de 1998 quando ganhou seu primeiro título mundial adotando metade dos descendentes de africanos vestindo sua camisa azul , antes disso a França era pífia só vivia de rompantes quando surgia uma boa geração.

Gérard Houiller m'avait tellement énervé d'accuser Ginola comme un lâche.
Un entraîneur ne salit pas son joueur dans des moments comme ça.
Ginola en a payé le prix fort et c'est injuste.
Il méritait tellement de faire parti de l'équipe victorieuse de 1998.
Il était très bon.
Tirage au sort truqué
La Coupe du monde 98 a été acheté, et dire le contraire c'est être de mauvaise foi et absolument rien connaître au football. La plus grande équipe du Brésil de l'histoire se fait battre 3-0 par une équipe de bras cassé ! Ronaldo et son équipe qui était en mode bulldozer tout au long de la compétition ont étonnamment été transparent en finale, c'est à peine si ils couraient.
@@jeanphilippehoutteman1506 Pas que le tirage au sort qui a été truqué. N'importe qui qui a vu la finale et qui a un minimum de bon sens sait qu'elle était truqué et que les Brésiliens avaient reçu un très beau chèque pour ne pas jouer.
I can remember how much I was happy for the result and the elimination of the arrogant France 😅😅😅 it was just stunning !
France(1998) was the fourth nation team that won the world cup after not participate in the previous world cup (earlier Italy in 1934, Uruguay in 1950 and West Germany in 1954).
kostadinov goal quality
This is the day the futur world champion 1998 was born.
Костадинов, Стоичков, Балъков, Лечков, Иванов, Хубчев!
France lost the previous home match to Istael 2:3. They needed 1 point in last two home matches and they lost both. The most dramatic qualification I saw
Two World cups and one Euro since 1993 for France.
Thanks Bulgaria
As a Bulgarian born after 1994 I feel pretty sad that our team is so bad now and cant watch my country on the big stage. I always have to support another countries.... but the WC in 2026 is in USA again 👀 Lets hope we can qualify
Just heavy that goal. The Goal of the century if one thinks about it. Bulgaria beating Germany later on... Fantastic shoot also. Just a nightmare to France...
Bulgaria do Stoichkov, Balakov, Kostadinov, que saudades dessa seleção.
It was a great pity that Papin and Cantons didn't show up in WC.
That's true. Would have been fun to see a prime Cantona at a World Cup!
@@onthe4572 Without Cantona they still won The World Cup in style after they returned to the competition in 1998 after missing 1990 and 1994 tournament. 🇨🇵
Papin a fait une demie finale avec la France en 1986.
also great Valencia's Penev missed WC94 - balls cancer.
@@mourdebars who was Penev?
And of course Bulgaria ended up reaching the semis of the World Cup in 94!
In the qualifixations 1 Sweden 2 Bulgaria, both did 1/2 final so this group was indeed very strong.
Fue un buen partido!!!!!
I saw this match , Platini was in the stands, could felt his rage seeing this.
Bulgaria went on to the final four at the '94 WorldCup.
Trifon Ivanov metía mucho miedo,Kostadinov hizo llorar toda Francia
Благодаря за видеото 👍
Bulgarie elle méritée arrive dans cette version en Demi finale.
Kostadinov c’est un tueur de rêve 😂😂😂
My dear French friend, but BG had the unforgettable summer of ‘94….Yes, there are no notable players in BG football teams as of now, but youngsters will come up….as did the great players you mentioned… you forgot Nasko Sirakov and the young guys at that time…Danny Borimirov, Zlatko Yankov, Kiriyakov and all of the 40 of that team.
Cette défaite fut un mal pour un bien car elle a permis une remise en cause profonde du football. Et plus tard ça a abouti à la victoire 04 ans plus tard
Cette élimination était une bonne chose cela a permis à l’équipe de France de se réformer puis on a gagné la coupe du monde 98 par contre la Bulgarie avait une bonne équipe elle était arrivée en demi final au USA94 donc pour moi elle mérite sa qualification.
Beautiful uniforms! Much prettier than today's.
França e Dinamarca. Duas seleções quase classificadas para a Copa de 94 e deixaram a vaga escapar no último jogo. Mas a França perdeu a vaga para a Bulgária, era uma seleção histórica, muito, mas muito forte. Já a Dinamarca perdeu pra Espanha e perdeu a vaga para a Irlanda.
Isso custou eliminação da frança pela última rodada mas tinha pertida com a Isreal em casa com 3 gols contra 2 atrás.
Ghana
A França só precisava de um empate tendo 2 jogos em casa pra fazer. Depois de França 2x3 Israel e França 1x2 Bulgária a vaca foi para o brejo
Vive la 🇧🇬 🇧🇬 🇧🇬 🇧🇬 🇧🇬 BULGARIE 🇧🇬 🇧🇬 🇧🇬 🇧🇬 🇧🇬, le plus vieux peuple du monde, selon l'ancien calendrier bulgare 🇧🇬 aujourd'hui nous sommes 7527 années, il n'existe pas plus vieil calendrier du monde que ancien calendrier bulgare 🇧🇬 !!!!!!!!
The best Bulgarian team of all time
StoeichkovGreatest Bulgarian player of all time ❤
The last french team, now it's Africa team not french team.
Afrika United
What a different eith the France today,lol. Africaaaaa
great game, being pro-France (Papin fan, not really into Stoichkov), watched highlights on polish sports news :) btw. Balakov, Stoichkov, Kostandinov and (ill) Penev - lethal Bulgarians!
Good thing France recovered after that but historically France is very inconsistent. 94 didn’t qualify then won in 98 then got eliminated in the first round in 2002 then reached the final in 2006 then got eliminated in the first round again in 2010 and won last World Cup. Let’s see what they come up with this year
Golden days, indeed ! I was 17 those days and I celebrated the qualifying for USA World Cup for Romania and Bulgaria ! Once in a lifetime, I think !
Yo vi ese partido por las pantallas canal 13 Chile lo transmitieron Francia perdio en ultima instancia Bulgaria se clasifico en ultima instancia para el mundial EEUU94 gano de visita
Que excelente registro hermano. Felicitaciones y gracias por publicarlo.
The best bulgarian national team ever, remeber they finished fourth on 1994 world cup.
Kostadinov is a FC Porto legend and this match proves his quality.
PS: France had white players..!
Esa búlgaria teniapara ser campeona del mundo, valla squadra la que se cargaba😮
Respect for Bulgaria! The Best national team soccer in all history. France didnt lost the match...Bulgaria has won
Incredible but true!!!
This was before France became an African Union forever.
Why is it that the US basket is called dream team and for France African union explain me .
Little did deschamps knows, 4 years later they not only qualify, but became world champions.
Fantastic game! 20 years later goalkeeper Mihaylov killed bulgarian football, Lechkov - mafia, Stoichkov - commercial agent, Kostadinov - weak person. Balakov staid by himself - respect.
Българи юнаци!!
👏 kostadinov stoichkov THE golden team of Bulgaria for eliminating france like cameroun when eliminating algeria by Ekembe goel 😆😆
Болгары удивили тогда- немцев выбили!!!
Умудрились проиграть Нигерии в начале. Хотя и те хороши были, хоть и недолго
Costadinov , le joueur qui a attristé tout un peuple !
11:20 I love how they show 2-1 for France, even the TV director cannot believe his eyes
I remember this match as if it was yesterday. What a drama at the end.
It was a team potentialy able to reach the final, but without a real cohesion.
Nella carta la Francia era un vero squadrone😮😮😮
A great match, for ever (
Sempre tive curiosidade de saber como uma seleção forte como a frança ficou de fora da copa 94, a seleção francesa sempre foi uma seleção forte mesmo antes de ser campeão mundial. Porém nesse jogo teve pela frente a melhor Bulgária da história, Stoichkov era um fora de série e ainda tinha bons jogadores ofensivos. Não a toa a Bulgária chegou a semifinal de 94 eliminando os atuais campeões Alemanha ( que tinha uma seleção bastante envelhecida). E creio que a França perdeu a vaga na partida contra 🇮🇱 pois esse Bulgária seria um jogo complicado de qualquer forma. Abraços do 🇧🇷.
A França antes não era uma seleção forte era apenas mediana ! sua melhor colocação tinha sido um 3° lugar na copa de 1958 com a geração de koppa e Fontaine. Só começou a aparecer para o cenário mundial aparti 1984 quando ganhou seu primeiro título a Euro de 84 antes disso tinha voltado a copa depois de 20 anos fora , fez uma copa pífia em 1978 e só mostrou algum 1982 com a geração de Platini e cia ficando em 3° lugar de novo ! na realidade a seleção francesa so passou a ser uma seleção de primeira prateleira depois de 1998 quando ganhou seu primeiro título mundial adotando metade dos descendentes de africanos vestindo sua camisa azul , antes disso a França era pífia só vivia de rompantes quando surgia uma boa geração.
La Bulgarie a emplement mériter la qualification.
Apoyé a Bulgaria en ese mundial.Saludos desde Venezuela
Thank you! Regards from Bulgaria:)
This was the day France realized they need to utilize African players
Редко увидишь такую битву .Каждый момент стык.Сейчас до конца игры равные составы не сохранились бы
Sweet memories 😃
Lechkov = Zidane
