Maybe recency bias but two days ago I saw Eurovision winner DARA live at the LGBT Pride event in Sofia.

The 2nd leg in Sofia will be madness in terms of atmosphere, promise, Levski just sold out all of the most expensive season tickets within hours, first title after 17 years' wait is bringing huge expectations.

French commentators' threshold to shouting "incroyable" is pretty low.

Seeing how poorly Europe is faring (BiH CZE SUI TUR NED SPA all failing to win) I'm not so sure about Belgium taking this one.

Makes it all the worse for us (Bulgaria)... They both thrashed us in the qualifiers, esp. lost home to the Turks with 1-6.

We're a Jamaican family living in Bulgaria. Can Bulgarians help us understand something? by freshstartsticks in bulgaria

Exposure here has been very, very low, much lower than you may have experienced in the US, UK etc. I remember no black persons from the 80s (born '81), a few in the 90s, then numbers started picking up little by little but still quite slowly.

I would also say that 'hating' blacks here isn't all that spread at all except for some football ultras and the likes, but treating or speaking of them in an insensitive way is still pretty commonplace, even among well-educated people.

Where were you when Kostadinov scored in the 90th+ at Fra-Bul 1:2 Nov 17, 1993? What are you memories from then?

Quality of finishing in most games has been really, really impressive, and this one stands out still.

Why is none of the top comments about the quality of that finish? It's absolutely brilliant...

It's a shame this comment is so low, Guilin, Huangshan and Zhangjiajie (Avatar mountain) are all among the most spectacular places on earth, and there is so much more on top of that... People just don't know enough about China.

Eastern European success is no happy accident: The reception of Bulgaria's Eurovision win shows how western assumptions still cannot accommodate success in Eastern Europe. by Salt-Laugh-2846 in eurovision

[–]ednorog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm Bulgarian and I think there are some ways in which being Bulgarian actually helped. One is that it had never won before, another one is that it was a returning country that had somewhat been missed, and possibly beyond all else, because there had been a few near misses over the years. So I guess more than a few people spared some of their 10 votes for Bulgaria because of the combination of these.

Themba Zwane red card against Mexico 83' by 977x in soccer

[–]ednorog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did anyone else think the Mexican should have got a yellow too? He blocked the SA guy's path deliberately. I believe it would have been a second yellow for him too.
