But Alexander Todorov, a psychologist at Princeton, wanted to know what traits really mattered to voters.
Mr. TODOROV: The idea is that this impression is entirely, completely based only on facial appearance.
Mr. TODOROV: One-second exposure to the two faces is sufficient to form the inference.
Todorov and Ayegbini went close to increasing the victory margin in the closing stages.
Wilnis made fine blocks from Taylor and Todorov as Portsmouth tried to regain the lead.
Niemi then produced even better save to deny Todorov again, flying to his right to save spectacularly.
Pompey created a chance of their own with nine minutes left, substitute Svetoslav Todorov shooting powerfully against the legs of Niemi.
Mr. ALEXANDER TODOROV (Psychologist, Princeton University): So we measured the impressions on all of these traits, and we measured, of course, attractiveness.
Alexander Todorov says he was worried he would have to disqualify a lot of people from his study because they'd recognize a politician's face.
Todorov says fewer than a third recognized Illinois Senator Barack Obama.
And Todorov says anyone who actually recognized a politician was disqualified.
Mark Burchill opened the scoring within four minutes of the restart, and Vincent Pericard and Svetoslav Todorov put the game beyond reach with two late goals.
Portsmouth showed their class in the 17th minute, as Todorov forced Andy Marshall into a save, but Matthew Taylor sent the ball in again, and the Bulgarian converted.
As it turned out, Todorov says, recognition wasn't a problem.
And two minutes later they were ahead as Ayegbini made a fine start to his partnership with Todorov, latching on to a pass from the Bulgarian and stroking the ball home from close range.
The meeting will be introduced by Stefan Kitanov, Director of the Sofia International Film Festival, and opened by Todor Chobanov, Deputy Mayor of Sofia, Mitko Todorov, Deputy Minister of Culture, and Francesco Bandarin, UNESCO Assistant-Director General for Culture.
