With Malta playing Italy in WC qualifier live on ESPN tomorrow morning, was hoping Manny was still playing for Malta.
Just checked and unfortunately he's not in the squad - and hasn't played for Malta since Sept 6 2011, almost exactly a year ago. Is this due to Manny making himself unavailable or the change in coach for Malta after that time? Manny's last game for Malta : 1-1 home draw with Georgia 6/9/11 Euro Championship qualifier (as good as it gets for lowly Malta generally).
"On 6 September 2011, Malta won their first Euro 2012 qualifying point, with a 1–1 draw against Georgia. During the years of 2010 and 2011, Malta did not get many positive results, and coach John Buttigieg and assistant coach Carmel Busittil were both sacked in October 2011."
