Just a question: in the match against Sporting, I seen a big flag, massive, with a man, he seemed a military leader. Who is he?
The flag I just mentioned is visible in the video.
I think it’s Vasil Kunchev, national hero of Bulgaria, whose nickname “the Leonine” (Levski) was used to baptize the club.
Levski was captured and murdered in 1873, five years before he could see his dream of a Bulgarian nation unleashed from the Turkish yoke.
Everything you have said is true, but the man that danielw is talking about is tsar Boris ІІІ. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_III_of_Bulgaria
No, the military man is Dimitar Spisarevski (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimitar_Spisarevski), he’s also been a footballer for Levski for 2 years. The whole choreo was about the english-american bombings in Sofia in the winter of 1943-44. Under the pretext of bombing only military objects they bombed the whole city including schools, hospitals, theaters… About 2000 people were killed. 
On the left part of the video it’s Sofia’s outlined logo, on the right there’s the logo of our aviation till 1944 and between there’s a Bulgarian airplane flying near an exploding american bomber. The message on the fence says “In memory of the Bulgarian eagles who defended the sky upon Sofia”.
We had 2 other waving flags - with Vasil Kunchev - Levski and Georgi Asparuhov.
By the way nearly 50 people of yours, congratulations for that. ;D In Bulgaria we have teams who come on our stadium in less numbers. :lol:
My mistake. :-[ Anyway this choreo had a reason because, despite the fact that Americans have bombed Sofia during the 2nd world war, in the city right in front the American Embasady they built a monument for these pilots who bombed the city. >:D Noone decided to make a monument for Bulgarian pilots from the Second World War that defended Sofia, but why not to build one for those who attacked the city and took victims. >:D >:D >:D
Man, there’s one since 2007 - http://edinzavet.wordpress.com/2008/02/21/pam-letci/ .
Still there’s no monument for the civilians who lost their lives…
very brave :cartao: :cartao: :cartao:
I wonder why they aren’t waving, thus showing 5 fingers… :think:
Thank you to all the Levski fans who participated here in this thread.
@sportinguistas: Não percebo a imagem postada pelo TremOcO
Material roubado pelos Ultras do Levski a pessoal nosso que foi à Bulgária ver o jogo.
Ah, obrigado Assenza.
That doesnt change the opinion I have on Levski as a club, just because some ultras decided to steal our stuff it doesnt mean that all their fans are bad people from what you could see in the first pages of this thread up to the last.
Still, I don’t remember none of our ultras doing that unless they had a good reason.
E PENA NAO VOLTAREM CÁ TÃO CEDO SENAO LOGO LHES DIZIA!! CORRIDOS A PEDRADA COMO OS DO PATETICO
I have no idea what is the reason. :
Anyway I’m not involved into this. :-[
News: Probably we will sell our big star Garra Dembele. Probably in Germany.
Meanwhile the draw for the Cup was made. We are quests to the peasants of Litex in Lovech. :twisted:
But the big news are that our boss decided to change our year of foundation. 
Instead of 1914 it’s 1911 and he showed a document proving this. Generally it is well known that there is a Sport Club named “Levski” that is founded in 1911. But officially it was registered on 24th of May 1914 and through all this years we were always celebrating on that date. Between 1911 and 1914 the team was basically boys from a school in Sofia that played for honour.
I hope we meet again
Is he learning from FC Porto’s “Kim Il-Sung”? :twisted:
Officially FC Porto was founded in 2 August 1906. In 1987 they changed the date to 28 September 1893, based on two old newspaper stories from 1893 and 1894 which tell that there was a club with the same name in the past. This matter aroused in time to celebrate a fake centennial in 1993. Which was a failure, because their supporters always celebrated the foundation as of 2 August 1906.
The fact is that the “first” FC Porto never had a president, legal status or members. That first “club” was merely a group of guys lead by António Nicolau d’Almeida who gathered in 1893 under the name Foot-ball Club do Porto to play an informal game against a Lisbon XI in March 1894, which they lost. (FC Porto current slogan is “Porto, winning since 1893”… :lol: )
The XI was disbanded right after that match and 12 years later, another man (José Monteiro da Costa) decided to found a club for real, not some random XI, and used essentially the same name “Foot-ball Club do Porto”. That’s all.
Well, I personally hope that you don’t associate all Levski fans with the ones who stole your flags. It’s just that some guys are too interested in stealing foreign stuff but we aren’t all alike.
As for the date of foundation - did Porto fans protest in any way? Because we surely are going to. :cartao:
1- Ask atletico fans >:D >:D
2- They didn’t , but they aren’t the only ones , benfica fans do the same thing .
Why would they protest? They wanted to be the oldest team in the country.
They would only protest in favor of an even older date…
They always feel like dying if they don’t win. They even want to win the oldest team competition.
Like Alvalade said, SLB did the same before, FCP just copied them.
In brief, Sporting and SLB founders had been together in a previous club. They disputed, spread, and joined other clubs. Sporting founders took part in the foundation of a club in 1902, SLB founders took part in the foundation of another in 1904.
Later on, in 1906, Sporting was properly founded. Only after that, in 1908, SLB was founded, together with dissidents from another club (actually a very small one that still exists). Despite the actual 1908 date, they wrote in their statutes «1904» as foundation date.
The FCP case is a different one, there seems to have had been another club earlier in Porto, one that showed up and ended quite briefly, without any actual connection with the new one, but they later declared it was the same…
You must be aware that rivalry is a different reality here. Foreigners coming to Portugal usually say it isn’t rivalry, but just pure hate.
We have lots of Brazilians living in Portugal (other than football players). They immigrate to Europe, but land here, due the common language. As you know, Brazil is supposedly the country were Football is more present in day-to-day life. Well, after knowing our reality, they say the rivalry here is from another planet, much stronger than in Brazil.
That’s why an older foundation date is already a victory…
.
Quite similar as F.C.Porto as 106 brilliantly explained. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: but they win 13-3… :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
