Malta-England: the fans will enjoy it

Day -291 WorldCup2018

Six days to go until the biggest match of this round of qualifiers for me. The Malta-England match will be quite the occasion for many Maltese football supporters, but a big part of the fun is the arrival of all the English supporters. You would almost think, Why bother? Why come support their team in a match they should win comfortably. But on the other hand: a holiday in Malta, with an England match thrown in? Better than going to Kazakhstan. And, indeed, a quick read of the England supporters forum online shows they are looking forward to a big party. It'll be fun. And I guarantee there will be one or two dumb locals who will think drunk England fan=hooligan and be ready to pick a fight. But I hope not.
