It takes place once every four years, and even those of us who don’t like watching the game make an exception for this big event – I’m obviously talking about the World Cup.

For most people the choice on who to support is an obvious one, because most big European countries qualified to take part.  However, a small country like Malta is very different!  Our national team has never qualified to participate in this tournament; therefore, we always feel the need to support other countries.  The most popular choices for Maltese people are England and Italy, even though there are quite a few supporters of Germany, Brazil and Holland too!

As you can see from the uploaded pictures, most parts of Malta have been transformed into little world cup villages for this month of football, especially St. Julian’s!  One would imagine that in such events tempers tend to flare, however, it is important to keep in mind that at the end of the day football is a sport and we should enjoy it not argue about it.

So, on that note I honestly hope that the best team wins this tournament!

For the time being…Let’s all Wave our Flag!
