  • England first encountered Bulgaria in the group stages of the 1962 World Cup in Chile. The game ended in a nil-nil draw and England scraped through to the quarter-finals over Argentina on goal average. Despite going on to appear in the 1966, 1970, 1974 and 1986 World Cups it would not be until 1994 when they got their first win at the tournament, a 4-nil win over Greece. They went on to finish 4th after coming from behind to beat Germany in the quarter finals.
    They have yet to record a win over England in any format.
