Not a bad result at all. England wasn't playing on its highest level. Israel should have taken advantage of that.

Btw, who was that black player on Israel's team ? And where is he originally from ?

Toto Tamuz...he's an israeli...(nigerian back)

0-0 .....draw...that's ok i guess

Ben Sahar is cute :)

He was born in Nigeria, but was adopted by an Israeli woman and has lived in Israel since he was 3 years old.

he isnt a son of foreign workers?

he isnt a son of foreign workers?

His father was a Nigerian footballer who played in Israel(Nahariya). Toto was left with a teammates family while Toto's father and mother went abroad. But Toto's father and mother never came back to Israel, so Toto was adopted by a woman named Irit Tamuz from Petach Tikva.

After Toto's father found out his son was a football star he tried to contact him, but Toto didn't want anything to do with him.

^ and i can understand him.
this story is like Baruch Dego's story. he came from Ethiopian family and was a punk when he was a kid so his parents kicked him of the house and then when he became to a good player they called them back but he didn't want them.

ethiopian punk?:D
hahaha

Not what i heard...
he came at like...age 3 of something (1984)....and withouth any families....
so he got adopted by someone...

overtime when he made a name alot of people tried to say they are his biological parents......


as for the result:
its good..we need 2nd spot....

we have to beat estonia this week also

^^ yes...estonia at home too....

sounds a little difficult..but none the les, we need a win..
we also play macedonia.they are tough!!

how many people will come to the game?

how many people will come to the game?

I dont think more than 20,000-25,000.......
more should come......

IFA makes the tickets like 80 shekels for kids and soldiers and 120 for everyone else....and its on wednesday...

the story i heard about dego is that he camed with his family but like since he was 11 he was adopted by his soccer coach

^ i dont know if since he was 11 but yes his step father is his personal coach. he loves him very muxh by the way.
it's hard to understand how punk can the boy be that his parents kicked him of the house and when he was onley 11.

Nov 21, 07 England Croatia - Very determining game for EVERYONE

If you ask me i think israel played rubbish against england and it was a very boring match to watch the only players that actually could play football were ben haim and benayoun, the others couldn't kick a ball especialy that nigerian black player playing for you. Everytime he got the ball he lost it. It was at home with atmosphere behing you surely you can play football better than that.

i agree with you

thankgoodness for that atleast two of us arent't exagerating and seeing cows in the sky because we'll be lying.

Also don't tell me you aren't happy with israels performance let them know that.

TWEGA RELAX ITS JUST FOOTBALL...

It was a tense game. The problem with Israel is that when it plays top teams it plays well. In this game, the bookies already had israel clinching a win. What win? We dindt play well even. We dindt even have the ball and didnt care to score much...

the worse is that England will be ready for us at home come September...

unless we tie or win in Croatia, which is far from impossible...

Bring out benayoun, ben haim and ben sahar im shre they can teach your israeli team a few thing s about playing football especially when it comes to playing england. Bring out the triple ben threat in other words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Israeli football is not good. end of story.
that's how the league looks. very boring.

^^ its good....
there is potential...we jsut make it look amature alot of the times!
