@valletta city reds
How can you support a foreign country against Malta?What crass ignorance!!
Forza Malta.Let us continue with our positive results in the last three matches.
jien simpatizzant tat tim taljan imma qatt ma tghaddili mill-icken kuritur ta’ mohhi li nzomm mat-taljani kontra MALTA taghna!!! u l argument tal kaz li tant wegga lil pubbliku sportiv malti ma jregix, ghax wara kollox ahna mhux mal players individwali nzommu imma mat TIM li jirrapprezenta lil PAJJIZNA. min ha jzomm ma’ l italja kontra malta il vera missu jisthi!
FORZA MALTA…KURAGG…GHAMLUNA KBURIN! AHNA WARAJKOM!
Ara vera awn il-likers go dal pajjiz eh!
Maltin li ha jzommu mat taljani misshom jisthu, ghax ma jemigrawx l-ita jekk tant ihobbuhom…
Suggeriment lil dawk li jiehdu hsieb idahhlu n-nies, ghal Malta-Ita jekk jindunaw bxi ‘maltin’ simpatizzanti ma’l-avversarji taghna ghandhom jigu rrifjutati dhul fil ground anka jekk jkollhom biljet mixtri minn qabel!
Jekk dawn jidhlu ninsab cert li jinqala’ l-inkwiet.
Inkwiet jinqala zgur. Jien jekk jigi Taljan bil bandiera Taljana quddiemi naccettah u anki inkelmu, izda jekk jigi xi laghqi gakbin Malti u joqoghd izomm mat taljani, it tarag naqilbu.
FORZA MALTA .FORZA MALTA FORZA MALTA .
I agree with ozmalt, it’s a disgrace that Maltese people support other nations, they are just glory hunters! I also live in Australia, and support Malta through and through! Forza Malta beat these Italians to show all these ‘maltese’ Italy fans!
Normalment f’kompetizzjonijiet internazzjonali nzomm mat-taljani, pero minhix ser nichad lil pajjizi. U kburi li fiz-zewg loghobiet se nkun qed nittama f’rebha (jew rizultat pozittiv) ghal Malta.
Anke jekk ifisser li l-italia ma tghaddix mil-group, xorta Malti nibqa u nzomm ma pajjizi.
ejja ha mmorru modena ha nuru li il Maltin poplu bil bajd u ma niddejqux nilghabu konra hadd anka jekk nafu li lavversarju ggant.. forza malta
forza malta ! u malta bisss jkun xijkun ir rizultat ahna warajkom reds !!!
Ghal dawk kollha li qalu forza Italia mela morru oqoghdu hemm mhux tichdu lil pajjizkom.Guda.
U l MFA meta jilaghbu hawn f Marzu m ghandiex taghti tickets lil dawk il Maltin li se jidhlu fis side tal Italja
Forza Malta ghal dejjem
To all those suck holes who are cheering for Italy I ask, do you think that there is one single Italian who will be supporting Malta? I guess not. You have no dignity and are embarrassing to all the Maltese all over the World. I left Malta 49 years ago and am still Maltese from head to toe.
min mhux maghna kontra taghna…
