It’s win or bust for Bulgaria at Croker, admits coach Stoilov

BULGARIAN coach Stanomir Stoilov believes, that with just three points from their opening three games of the campaign, his team can say goodbye to the World Cup if they lose to the Republic of Ireland at Croke Park tonight.

“Even a draw would not be much good as we would have to win all our remaining Group Eight qualifying games, home and away. But my players will give everything and will fight to the end,” said Stoilov.

Without injured Manchester United star Dimitar Berbatov and the injured Manchester City pair of Martin Petrov and Valeri Boijonov, Stoilov admits injuries have upset his preparations for this game.
