Wymsey Posted 30 August 2017 Posted 30 August 2017 Is anyone interested in this one..? Should be a walk in the park, but can see it just being the standard 2-0 win imo. Expecting Maguire to be handed a start and hope he plays the whole match. Don't know any of Malta's squad apart from Mifsud who did ok at Coventry a few years back..
Fox92 Posted 30 August 2017 Posted 30 August 2017 Mifsud. Oh yeah. Scored them belters when Coventry won at Old Trafford.
polar98 Posted 30 August 2017 Posted 30 August 2017 absolutely no chance Maguire is given his debut in a qualifier. England players are rarely ever given there debut in a qualifier are they?
RODNEY FERNIO Posted 30 August 2017 Posted 30 August 2017 Why is a tiny little island like Malta afforded the status of a national team ? These teams are completely and utterly pointless ... might as well include the Isle of Wight in the qualifying rounds.

Why shouldn't a Maltese man have the same right to represent his country as me or you as an Englishman?

foxy boxing Posted 31 August 2017 Posted 31 August 2017 I've been to Malta, very nice. probably the only good thing for travelling England fans. we'll either win comfortably or win comfortably!
purpleronnie Posted 31 August 2017 Posted 31 August 2017 Maybe, or we'll do what we usually do, play poorly and scrape a win.

The Maltese are a proud people with a fascinating history and culture all of their own. Besides, after the part they played in WW2 I'd say they have a hell of a lot more right to nationhood than some of the dominant powers in modern Europe
Vacamion Posted 31 August 2017 Posted 31 August 2017 They will park the bus. If we get one goal, we should get several. NB Scotland beat them 5-1 there, so anything less than 12-0 would be a national disgrace...

Dr The Singh Posted 1 September 2017 Posted 1 September 2017 England need to be at there best, this will be a tuff challenge. The Maltesers many have a honeycombe inner, but in the right conditions they can be tough.
ScouseFox Posted 1 September 2017 Posted 1 September 2017 am i living in some alternative universe where jake livermore is being consistently picked to play for england
ealingfox Posted 1 September 2017 Posted 1 September 2017 Maguire must have a knock or something - he's not even on the bench
StanSP Posted 1 September 2017 Posted 1 September 2017 Jake Livermore wtf. Can't understand his call up let alone him starting England games.
