Today is Sunday 1 April – or better April fool! Will this weekend fool any particular team? Sandro Micallef is all well prepared for another 90 minute football talk show as eight of the 12 Premier League teams would have been in action by this evening.
A special weekend as well for all the Juventus fans as ex-player and UEFA President Michel Platini was present for the derby between Valletta and Floriana yesterday. That match was followed by another much awaited game – Birkirkara FC vs Sliema W. Two more matches are scheduled for today while a preview of tomorrow’s two matches is also included.
Kontrattakk, without any doubt will also give a close overview of the Annual National Regatta of Jum il-Ħelsien and the sports battle between all the participating clubs.
L-Argument on One TV returns with a bang today after a short break. Female football will feature today - it will include newly crowned champions Birkirkara’s coach Johan Scicluna together with national team coach Pierre Brincat. A special feature dedicated to Birkirkara’s female team and their success in this year’s first division will be the highlight of this section of L-Argument.

Guests in this part of the programme will include Valletta’s team manager Gerard Ellul, Floriana’s new mentor Joe Brincat, Birkirkara coach Paul Zammit, Sliema’s committee member Saviour Debono Grech and resident guest Mark Marlow.
