FlixBus Expands Routes from Bulgaria: New Connections to Thessaloniki, Athens, and More
FlixBus, the renowned European bus company, is set to launch new routes to and from Bulgaria in anticipation of the summer season
Hours after Bulgaria secured an important victory over Argentina on the opening day of the FIVB Volleyball World League Finals, the team star shared his joy and even greater ambitions.
“In this World League every match is hard, but we hope to play the next match at a high level," Tsvetan Sokolov told the official site of the volleyball World League.
"It was a difficult match for us, but we are very happy with this victory. The first set was even and it's important to start the match by winning it.”
Bulgaria collected their eighth successive win over Argentina following a 3-1 (28-26, 25-23, 20-25, 25-23) victory in a very tough match.
The hosts, cheered up and supported by their passionate fans, opened a 18-13 lead in the first set, but Bulgarians managed to clinch it at 28-26.
The second set was a lot tighter but continued the trend of the lead swapping hands many times. With both teams jostling for position Bulgaria put their noses in front at the finishing post and claimed the second set 25-23 and go 2-0 up overall.
Quiroga and company pulled themselves together in the third set and steamed to a 25-20 third set win to reduce the match deficit to 2-1 giving the 5,000 fans plenty more to sing about.
This seemed to spark Bulgaria back into life. Sokolov was unstoppable as last year’s World League and Olympic fourth-placed team did enough to get home 25-23.
The Finals of the 24th edition of the world’s premier annual men’s volleyball tournament are held in Mar del Plata, Argentina from July 17 to 21, 2013.
The top two teams from pools A (Brazil and Bulgaria) and B (Italy and Russia), the winners of pool C (Canada) and the host nation (Argentina) compete in the finals.
