Foreigners may not always understand our strange ways, but Reddit’s r/Malta are a good place to learn as much as you can about anything you need to know… including why we’re never featured in the World Cup.

Here are a few of the discussions that may explain where this is coming from.

Obviously, funding is a big issue

Without being able to train full time, it’s hard to expect so much from local athletes.

But delicious food may also be a part of the problem

How’s this for brutal honesty?

Our pool of potential is limited by our tiny numbers

Small island syndrome is more than a state of mind, it’s also a tiny population.

Iceland’s success was obviously over-analysed

Were they lucky? Are they more talented? Is it witchcraft??

And rugby got its standard mention (as happens with every conversation about football)

Have you heard? Maltese rugby wins more than football.

What do you think is the real reason?
