Malta beats Azerbaijan 1-0 in friendly international match

Mar 26 2022

A goal by Jurgen Degabriele handed Malta’s national football team a win over Azerbaijan in a friendly International at the National Stadium.

The local team opened their 2022 commitments with a positive score as the Hibernians forward found the net for the winning score early on in the second half.

Devis Mangia’s team gave a stunning performance and play, creating many opportunities to score throughout the entire match. Despite Degabriele’s goal being the only one for the evening, the team showcased their polished skill and determination.

It was mostly due to the Azerbaijani’s goalkeeping, a post held by Salahat Agayev, that the local players did not manage to field more goals. The Maltese will be donning their red kits once more on Tuesday’s warm up against Kuwait.

For their next match, the team hopes to continue building on the momentum they acquired yesterday. The match against the Azerbaijanis was also a special match for the Maltese team as it marked the 103rd and final play in international football for Andrei Agius.

Before kick-off, Malta Football Association Bjorn Vassallo presented Agius with a memento to commemorate all his plays and his final match with the team to resounding applause.

Joe Biden shares pizza with US troops near Ukrainian border

Mar 26 2022

US president Joe Biden was snapped and filmed sharing some pizza slices with US troops in Poland right at the Ukrainian border.

The 46th US president landed in Rzeszow, Poland to visit the sites where Ukrainian refugees are crossing into the neighbouring country and to see how his troops are doing on NATO’s eastern flank.

As he meet with soldiers from the U.S Army’s 82nd Airborne Division stationed near the airport, he chomped down on some pepperoni pizza and chatted with the military personnel. Biden did express disappointment at not being able to cross the border to Ukraine.

During a speech, the President spoke about his grandfather and his late son Beau Biden who was an Iraq War Veteran. ‘Like you, he didn’t have to go either’ he told the soldiers.

‘The Point is there are hundreds of thousands of people like my son, like all of you, so thank you. We have a sacred obligation in this government to equip those we send to war an to care for them and their families when they come home’ he said.

The US president was due to be briefed on the humanitarian response to help Ukrainian civilians sheltering from the Russian invasion. He is now set to travel to Warsaw to have talks with the Polish president.

During a NATO emergency summit in Brussels, leaders agreed to step up measures to protect Ukraine and other countries from possible Russian chemical or nuclear attacks.

How to be a smarter voter in the next election in 5 easy steps | by Spunt

Mar 25 2022

This article is brought to you by spunt.mt, a local page covering current affairs, economics, politics, history and everything in between. They provide unbiased information and discussions on various issues in Malta and abroad.

THE ELECTION IS HERE! But how can you become a better voter? Here are our 5 simple steps!

1. Set your agenda.

Political parties will want to set the agenda and make sure the voters think some issues are important whilst others are not.

To avoid this, make. a list of your top issues, in order of which the country should address first.

Bonus: Do this list as early as possible to avoid campaigns influencing your priority.

2. Listen to different opinions with an open mind.

Don’t think of yourself as a supporter, but think of yourself as a judge whose respect and vote has to be earned.

3. Find a balance in your media consumption.

A news item is reported differently across media platforms, each of which have their own agenda.

Make sure to understand what agenda and bias your news source may have and try to consume all sides of the story to formulate a better informed opinion.

Warning: All reporters have their bias; whether they care to admit this or not is a different question.

4. Listen to smaller parties too.

Small parties make valid points, but do not have the resources to push their message. They may also discuss topics that are too controversial for the main parties to even discuss.

5. Keep arguments separate from the person saying them.

When tuning in to a debate, it is important to understand what people are saying and distinguish between what the message is and who is saying it.
