I know pre season matches aren't renound for their class but at times it was hard to work out which team Sheffield United were. I wish we could attract some decent clubs to Malta and not these small clubs from the lower leagues.

Norwich, Leeds, Derby... Surely the Malta Tourism Authority could have found a higher profile club outside of the Premier League than Sheffield United.
