Unfortunately for two Turkish smugglers, authorities at the Danube port of Rousse were on alert football or no football. The men trying to cross into Romania on Wednesday night were stopped and they turned out to have 23 kg (50 lbs) of heroin hidden in the chassis and wheel arches of their MercedesBenz, customs spokesman Ivan Kutevski said on Thursday. Bulgaria, which is on the ``Balkan route'' for smugglers bringing drugs into western Europe, beat Cyprus 41 in the World Cup qualifier in Sofia.
