One final picture of the Malta vs Bulgaria match which we lost 0-1. On the right are two shots showing some of the Maltese effort to get the equaliser. The Maltese players are part-timers and a Maltese win is unfortunately very rare but we keep on trying. Notwithstanding our regular losses and the fact that the match is shown on tv, there were at least around 5000 supporters on the stands urging our team on.
Joke: A blonde began a job as an elementary school counsellor and she was eager to help. One day during recess she noticed a girl standing by herself on one side of a playing field while the rest of the kids enjoyed a game of soccer at the other.
The blonde approached and asked if she was all right.
The girl said she was.
A little while later, however, she noticed the girl was in the same spot, still by herself. Approaching again, she offered, "Would you like me to be your friend?"
The girl hesitated, then said, "Okay," looking at the woman suspiciously.
Feeling she was making progress, the blonde then asked, "Why are you standing here all alone?"
"Because," the little girl said with great exasperation, "I'm the goalie!"
Thank you so much for looking and for the lovely comments on yesterday's picture.
