With an unambiguous question: "Can anyone stop this girl?" the Miss EURO 2004 site launchers reveal the crashing results from the voting.

Bulgarian "Pearl" beauty Rayna Naldzhieva has so far scored nearly 60 percent of casted votes, outracing celebrities such as David Beckham's wife Victoria (3 percent) and Portuguese singer Nelly Furtado.

Fans of football and beauty have searched frantically at www.football365.com to vote for Bulgaria's Miss EURO 2004 contestant Rayna, 18, who enjoys all sport, including football.

Quoted by Bulgarian nightly TRUD, Rayna has been enthusiastic to know that her second rival, French damsel Virginie Ledoyen is far behind her in the voting (about 13 percent).

Rayna Naldzhieva has stepped on the beauty catwalk quite accidentally, as a random picture of her eating pizza outdoors made her one of the faces on the Pearls of Bulgaria 2003 calendar.

She was crowned with Miss Bulgaria World 2003 as the press readers' favorite, thus qualifying for China-located Miss World 2003 last December.

The 365's contestants include also Vasiliki Tsekoura (Greece), Nelly Furtado (Portugal), Juliette (Russia), Esther Canadas (Spain), Nina Moric (Croatai), Victoria Beckham (UK), Virginie Ledoyen (France), Michelle Hunziker (Switzerland), Anine Bing (Denmark), Francesca Lancini (Italy), Elin Nordegren (Sweden), Maria Petlickova (Czech Republic), Jana Ina (Germany), and Rebecca Loos (Netherlands).
