Bulgaria's national football team are starting their qualification for Euro 2012 with a match against England at London's Wembley Stadium at 8 pm GMT Friday .
Bulgaria have never won an official football match against England; in the eight official matches between the two teams so far, there have been four wins for England and four draws.
Bulgaria's coach Stanimir Stoilov will not be able to use his injured midfielders Blagoy Dimitrov and Velizar Dimitrov. England's Fabbio Capello has the same problem with Rio Ferdinand, John Terry, and Frank Lampard.
Manchester United's star Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov is no longer part of the Bulgarian national football team since the side's failure in the South Africa World Cup qualification cycle when Berbatov announced his early retirement in order to focus on his club career.
Bolton's Bulgarian winger Martin Petrov and Aston Villa's Bulgarian captain and midfielder Stiliyan Petrov will be the key players for the national team against England together with former Manchester City striker Valeri Bojinov currently playing for Italy's Parma.
