SOCCER CRAZY MALTA by sangwann

SOCCER CRAZY MALTA

At this time of the year (2016) the Maltese are stuck around their tv’s watching the Euro 2016 matches. Every bar/restaurant has its own big screen to attract – or not to lose - customers. Our national side has never made it to this stage and everyone is resigned that we never will. But most of us take pleasure in siding with the teams of other nations. Soccer lovers, and even those who don’t follow football, may be divided (in my opinion) as 35% for the Italians, another 35% for England, 15% for Germany and the other 8% for Spain and out of the rest – a few side for France and then Brazil and other South American countries.
I, for one, like to watch the matches at home, and on my own because I hate being distracted by people around me. I don’t have a particular preference but favour the Italian and Spanish styles.
These flags are at Għar id-Dud, Sliema, near an open-air restaurant.
Many thanks for looking and for commenting and fav's on my project.
Nice to see all the flags together -- but didn't Wales do well !!!!!!!!!

Lovely capture of all those colourful flags. Soccer has become increasingly popular in Australia as a result of increasing migrant population.

Great shot of the flags. Those houses/appartments are less nice. Looks like a bee hive.
