The build up to Sunday's Malta-Scotland continues.
Malta today drew 1-1 in Estonia, in what can be rightly called a confidence boosting result for the Maltese. By all accounts, Malta's newly acquired citizen and recent addition to the team, Luke Gambin, impressed again. And another new-ish citizen, Alfred Effiong, scored Malta's goal. One player became Maltese through his grandfather, and another through achieving the residency requirement of time lived in Malta. What Malta needs now is a new citizen from the third category: a player from a family with enough money to purchase a Maltese passport. Or maybe a Maltese person with a few million euros to spare could invest in the Maltese team by buying passports for a few non-Maltese players of a level high enough to transform the team. But that is a touchy political discussion that we keep out of football, right?
Back to the pitch the Maltese team is looking healthy and without getting too carried away with expectation there is hope that a result against Scotland is achievable and possible.
