Bizzare Power Outage In Malta Marks The Biggest Cliff-hanger In The History Of Football

A very unusual thing happened in Malta yesterday evening. You have a lot of guesses, I’m sure, but none is in the realm of what actually transpired in Ta’Qali.

This has got to be the biggest hair-raiser in the history of football.
