#HristoStoichkov #WorldCup #Bulgaria - Sport
Hagi the Maradona of the Carpathians. Stoichkov the Pele of the Balkan
I swear that year best teams were Bulgaria and Romania. Bulgaria was robbed by refs against Italy. Romania was unlucky lost to Sweden with penalties. They could be trouble to Brazil in the semis.
IwatchYuTup Bulgaria 🇧🇬 and Romania 🇷🇴 has cracking sides in that World Cup. Mexico 🇲🇽 was another side that should really have made the quarters at least. Colombia 🇨🇴 were tipped by pele to win the whole thing that year also.
Some of the big powerhouses of the game never even qualified 🏴 and 🇫🇷.

ABSOLUTELY!
This man was scary to play against, dribble, passing, sprint, technique, fysique, free kick, one on one, box tot box. Perform in big games. A true boogeyman for every defender AND midfielder. This is a Guy who you want in your top eleven when you want trophies!
His free-kick against Germany seemed to be my Brazil's goal, so much so i celebrated. Legend, hero! 🇧🇬
Thanks brother! Congrats!
@@plamba92 🇧🇷🤝🏼🇧🇬
Just before kicking the ball he remembered it was his daughter birthday and he said I’m scoring this one for her 🔥
Shame FIFA couldnt be bothered to show any other angles for the goal... in fact... there's hardly any footage of the actual action. Poor from FIFA.
What a legend.
hristo...respect from Romania
Respeto para Bulgaria y Rumania, grandes equipos de los 90'👏👏. Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱
The best moment for bulgarian football. 4th place in a world cup, that is unforgettable.
Stoichkov is one of the athletes that put Bulgaria on the map for a whole generation! Never managed to watch him play live, but he obviously was amazing! Bulgaria is proud with you Hristo!
soccer is a great sport because alot of people who wouldnt really be considered athletes can excel and be famous.
what a great player,love from Romania
sadasd sdsdsd hagi , :D
sadasd sdsdsd yes but here is no more players like him:(
¡HRISTO AND HAGI!
4-4-2 forever(im from Serbia)🇷🇸🇧🇬
I remember that game vs. Mexico, this dude was awesome!
Marcel Gomez yes it is true, he actually broke the goal frame.
He is always awsome
Germany vs Bulgaria was better
@Marcel Gomez, a Mexican defender broke it :) He cleared a header by Emil Kostadinov from the goal-line, hang on the net and a piece of the frame failed. Later the journalists said that the piece was first compromised by the supersonic shot for the goal of Hristo Stoichkov but it is a myth ;)
@Marcel Gomez ¡Now 26 yrs ago!
STOICHKOV MADE HIS PEOPLE VERY VERY HAPPY. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
PRIDE AND RESPECT.
Respect from USA !
Ballakov playmaker legend..
One of the greatest players of his time. Proud to be Bulgarian❤
STOICHKOV

The great Stoichkov....

WC 94 Final Romania vs Bulgaria il by something nice to see
When I get a time machine, I will make this happen
Mr Doom The final was going to be Brasil-Bulgaria . If the referee on the semi final didnt give a false penalty to the Italians. Everybody knows how Bulgaria got scammed
Две 100%-ови дузпи, едната за блок тип волейболен с две ръце, Костадинов оставаше сам срещу вратаря, а другата за суплекс срещу Лечков. Ама кой ще свири 3 дузпи срещу Италия на полуфинал на световното?!? :-) Бяхме си световните шампиони, няма майтап...
It would have been a wonderful 2-1 win for Romania.Min 21 Raducioiu Min 52.Stoichchov Min 68 Hagi !
Yasen in the end Italy lost so
A fantastic player Mr. Stoichkov is...I still remember the way he played in WC 1994. Terrific player..
Гордимся Стоичковым, нашим болгарским братом.
Bulgaria and Russia brothers
🇧🇬🇷🇺 💪
@@LM-cw8fi Я русскоязычный украинец. Люблю русских и болгарских братьев. Мы православные славяне.
Hristo Stoichkov is legends of Bulgaria and football in The Bulgarian Championship with one golden ball and one gold shoe .......And more many achievements
I always loved watching this man play football. Him and Hagi I thought were so alike , so skillful both left footed both clinical with the skill and finesse only great players have naturally
GENTLEMEN... BACK TO BUENOS AIRES
Without excuses
he was one of my idols in the early 90s
Legend, gotta be proud with him, gotta be proud that you're bulgarian :)
I'm proud
България тук ли сме
Galcho 07 дааа
Тук!
nai golemiq ici stoickov
This proves that only 1 player can change a team
+KHR Well, Hristo was one of a kind but the others didn't lack skills. On the contrary, most of them were great players. Take for example: Balakov, Letchkov, Ivanov, Kostadinov, Mihaylov... But Stoichkov could decide the outcome of a game.
+KHR I agree. Certain players can inspire and instill belief in others. The type of player others would follow with every word.. Stoichov was that kind of guy.
+superfleaz Ibra aswell. Sweden would never have qualified for Euro 2016 without him.

@superfleaz and Zizou.
I am from Bulgaria :)
Someone There 🇧🇬🇧🇬
i bet most of people here r bulgarian (like me) xD
I az

Tuk sme
That was the golden age of Bulgaria. They had a good team even outside of Stoichkov, players like Kostadinov, Letchkov, Balakov, Mihaylov...
Love from Poland
Awesome striker
This guy style is unique he has a fearing charisma on ground
Legend 👏🏼👏🏼🇧🇬
One of the best players of all time!
Hristo Stoickov!
Vaistinu Stoickov!
grande Hristo
respetos desde Chile
hristo and hagi looks quite the same...even different countries, they seem brothers :)
still Hagi was better ;)
Stoichkov was better than Hagi :-)
they are both different position. and no Hagi Best ;)
Bot of them was best, but Stoichkov has the worst character than Hagi.
lets say 80-90 years was best foorball era. they were real footballers. today they only cry when they get fouled and in todays time its all about money mafia :/
Respect Stoichkov from Romania
respect from peru
I`ve met very nice people from Peru ! Cheers from Bulgaria :)
He is one of my idol
happy birthday Hristo Stoichkov 50
A legend. No doubt about it.
I wish I was there to see the 1994 world cup
Charisma Bros Me too! 😭🇧🇬
Charisma Bros I was fortunate enough to see him against Germany, what a game..
Charisma Bros I was there it was amazing time.It is almost impossible but we did it. HRISTO STOICHCOV IS THE BEST PLAYER EVER NOT ONLY IN BULGARIA BUT IN THE WORLD.MY RESPECT TO GEORGI ASPARUHOV BUT HE LIVED IN DIFFERENT TIME.HRISTO STOICHCOV IS THE BEST PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ME THAT LEVSKI&CSKA SHIT.I'M PROUD CSKA FAN BUT I LOVE BULGARIA.THIS LITTLE COUNTRY THAT ALLOWS TO BE TREATED LIKE A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY.
I was lucky enough to watch the 1994 world cup, the best and most entertaining cup in my memory. Free flowing soccer, underdogs (Bulgaria, Romania, Sweden) playing incredibly well, Roberto Baggio being superb throughout. In the final I was rooting for Italy but when Brazil won and dedicated their victory to Senna's memory, I realized that Brazil deserved this victory.
I watched the 1994 World Cup on TV and to this day it was the best WC I've ever watched. It just felt magical and the teams seemed to have team spirit. There where so many special moments, like the goal from that Saudi Arabian, the Cameroonians playing, the Belgian goalkeeper trying to score a header at the last minute, the italian Pagliuca kissing the goal in the final...
I am bulgarian i an proud
All hail the balkan king. Why is he speaking spanish lol that's crazy.
he played for Barcelona and won their first champions league
Also works for Spanish speaking TV in the United States
Carls Lobato we stole him from you😄
Played in la liga.. And working on univision..
he lived in Spain yrs after he stopped playing there
omg a true legend in the time of legends
България над всичко ! ❤️🔝
I really like the jerseys of those days
Im half Bulgarian half Turkish I love 🇧🇬🇹🇷
Living Legend😀
INDONESIA .
LOVE STOICKOV ❤️
Best final in 94: Bulgaria vs Romania
That 's will be awesome final 😮
He is amazing... he even inspired Harry Potter's character Viktor Krum. 😊
:D :D :D
Hristo desde Marruecos eres uno de los más grandes de la historia
I wanted it to be Brazil vs Bulgaria in the final,
Romario on one side and Stoichkov on the other.
Me to :) y
Hristo Stoichkov is our bulgarian hero
That team was a joy to watch.
i liked so much stoichkov i made a jersey with his number 8 ad his name with paint, he and baggio were my heroes that WC
nice video, nice info for a young student of the game.
Great video!
사랑해요 스토이치코프
Hristoooo 🇧🇬🇬🇷
what a left foot Hristo..love from Ireland
Great player love from india❤️
A true legend 👍
A true warrior... A true gentleman
There are very few athletes in the world that can carry an entire team... Stoichkov was that player. Bulgaria will never see a player of his caliber again. Amazing to see him on the pitch!
A legend!
Letchkov (is that spelled right?) was some player too
Shaun Pierce yes he was sir
and Rebrov
Yes he was I am from Bulgaria and I am proud of my country footballers
Martin Zhelev a Sega?
The baldie was a great one too
Stoichkov ha sido un futbolista increible, y el que diga lo contrario no sabe de futbol.
Hristo le magnifique .Le patron.
Jogava muito , parceiro do Romário no Barcelona 94
I watched a game with him when he played for Barcelona. He was incredibly fast with ball on his feet. I didn’t have a clue about that. He and the brasilian Ronaldo were a dangerous couple.
Legend
I got to see him when he played for DC United.
Stoichkov and Hagi, two short lefties, were the best highlights of World Cup 1994 USA.
Que selección tan buena tenia Bulgaria en este mundial.
Very good team :-)
The GodFather
He's a legend, we, frenchies, remenber him, Kostadinov and all the team sending off France to home during qualification after playing like pure comptetiors (France was the young Cantona, Ginola, Deschamps, Blanc, Desailly, Petit, etc...)
Papin was there too. That French team deserved to be in the World Cup with 3 great forward players, but they stuffed up earlier by not beating Israel in the qualifiers.
Ironically they won the World Cup 4 years later with only defenders and midfielders scoring all the goals (Cantona, Ginola or Papin were not there).
@@sasho888prm I think that was not a team, a group of individualities (full of talents) yes but not a team as it was in 1998 like you said !
Cool
Stonchkov was like a one man team up front
We don't have such kind of players any more:( The time is not the same:( 😐
It's true... these days the hairstyle is more important.
Stoichkov was electric. Great free kick against Germany.

Estupendo jugador y el super gol que le hizo a México
BULGARIA 🔝
Elimino a mi pais; Mexico, pero fue de los grandes del futbol mundial y lo respeto
Habla perfectamente español.
es comentarista deportivo de hecho
If any of you played fifa AND REMEMBER THE CLASSIC XI TEAM THAT HAD THE GREATEST PLAYERS TO EVER PLAY THE GAME ,REMEMBER IT HAD HAGI AND THATS WHY HE DESERVES SPECIAL RESPECT............
He was also one of the most intimidating players ever. I doubt anyone ever messed with him. If they did, it probably didn't end well for that person. Didn't know he was so fluent in Spanish.
He is fluent in Spanish from his 6-8 years in Barcelona. He also works for Mexican TV as a presenter, and its easier to afford a translator from Spanish to English than from Bulgarian to English.
He said for France Football just after the world cup 1994, that he had a big problems with his teamates during this tournament, and we saw on the game for the 3rd place against Sweden that something going wrong between Stoichkov and other bulgarian players
I did not know Stoichkov spoke Spanish! Hats off
You don't know he played for Barcelona? Are you serious?!
Христо е еден и единствен 🇲🇰🇲🇰🇲🇰
New slagai makedonsko zname kuto govorish za takava legenda
Pelé, Kaká, Ronaldo, Romário, Ronaldinho gaúcho, Rivaldo. Brazil
It’s funny how Bulgaria kicked out Mexico and now he is fluent in Spanish and is on Univision( Mexican sports news station)
😍😘
🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬
Thanks to him,koeman and cruyff barca won their 1st champions league.
