Day -836. WorldCup2018.
I'm trying to keep up my Sunday tradition of a World Cup memory with a comical twist. This week I wanted it to have a Maltese theme, to wrap up my Maltese heavy week. So I thought after yesterday's non-victory victory against West Germany I would find a real World Cup win. But there have only been 2 and I have mentioned them in the past: the 1-0 in Estonia in 1993 and another 1-0 in Armenia in 2013.
Yes. That's it. Two wins, both in Eastern Europe. Therefore, I feel Malta's best chance of a win in the 2018 qualifying is against Lithuania, in Lithuania on October 11th 2016. That match comes 3 days after Malta play England, in England and Lithuania play in Scotland. Maybe they could just meet in Manchester. Get it over and done with and let the Maltese players get back home without the inconvenience of a trip to the Baltics after what will have been quite an exhausting (but hopefully not traumatic) experience at Wembley.
The Maltese supporters look forward to win number 3. The results are getting better, nightmare results of the past are a distant memory. Just don't ask about THAT 12-1 against Spain.......
