The worst team in the world
Published in FilGoal on 24 - 04 - 2007

It is not difficult to determine the best football club in the world because there are special events and polls organized to choose the best in the world.
And since Europe and South American clubs are the masters of the game, the best team was initially determined in a contest between the champions of the two continents.
The idea started in 1960 when UEFA Champions League winners Real Madrid (Spain) beat South American Copa Libertadores winners Penarol (Uruguay) in a two-legged tie for the first Intercontinental Cup. The contest was later edited to a single tie played since 1980 in the National Stadium in Tokyo and referred to as the Toyota Cup before being finally replaced in 2005 by the current FIFA Club World Cup for all continents.
However, the previous dilemma is much easier than working statistically hard to find out which club deserves to be the worst in the world.
Eventually, Filgoal.com decided to run a research on more than 200 worldwide domestic competitions to determine the biggest loser this season, and credit goes to colleague Khaled Talaat for the great discovery of the one team which anyone could barely argue with its selection as the world's worst club.
The winner was a Bulgarian first division club called PFC Chernomorets Burgas Sofia.
The statistics of this team can hardly be compared to any other team in the world in terms of season-low achievements!
It all started when FC Conegliano German were promoted from Bulgarian B PFG League to the Bulgarian Premier League in the 2005-2006 season, but in June 2006 the club's name was changed to be PFC Chernomorets Burgas, but the new name was a sort of a curse on the newly promoted club.
Chernomorets played 24 league games so far, they were beaten in 23 and their biggest achievement of the season came when they held Litex Lovech into a goalless draw to collect their one and only point from 24 games.
Ironically, the anti-champions refused the sole point after they made no show in two of their league games against Levski Sofia and Vihren, and consequently they were penalized to see their precious point reduced to -2 points.
More season statistics vindicate why Chernomorets deserve the 'award', as their league record includes a host of humiliating defeats which once reached an eleven-goal margin, to conclude a massive goals-against record of 96 goals in 24 games, as well as scoring only seven times.
Chernomorets suffered their latest defeat at the hands of Spartak Varna who thrashed them 3-0 at home in the 24th week of the Bulgarian Premier League.
However, Chernomorets managed to achieve a huge result (to their standards) in the Bulgarian Cup first round last November when they held league holders and current leaders Levski Sofia until the 112th minute before being dumped out as usual with an extra-time strike.
Finally, Chernomorets deserve to be the number one team in the world but for all the wrong reasons!
