I just watched a rerun of Israel v Russia on FSC. Israel is a really awesome team considering their size. Who knew?
Personally I don't think they have a chance at Euro champs let alone a 2010 WC, but still. They surprised me. What are your thoughts on this Israel team?
(@ Zizo Zidan in advance: yes we know you love Iraq.)

@JonBoy: my favorites are Holland & Ghana, those two I love. Everyone else I just like. See what I mean?

I was surprised too!
Especially since a couple of their best, most experienced players such as Yossi Benayoun and Roberto Colautti didn't play that match! The young guys definitely did a great job, and I can't wait to see what they can do in the future!

They did surprise many and England is sitting pretty with this
score. They made hell of more fans from hooligan country.
But they played good soccer and Russia missed many opportunities and could not convert.
Just like the Aussies qualified, Israel can also qualify if they
play good team soccer. If they are grouped in Asian teams,
they will definitely qualify.
Does not make sense why Israel belongs to Euro? So does Turkey? Neither of them are in Europe, and the last time I checked they belong to Asian continent.

Yes. I knew they were pretty good defensively but I was surprised to see them put two past Russia. Russia didn't play too well though.
It's a pity Israel didn't qualify after watching some of their performances. they're no walkovers.

Is there any football team you don't support??
You sound almost intelligent with the quote you have included, then you list about 50 football teams that you support.
I think you miss the point of being a supporter/fan.
You silly Jifko

come on dcunited girl, don't put usa down.
they drew against italy. yes, they could have played better against ghana and czech republic.
in wc2002, they lost in the quarterfinals i think to germany. very close game.
i have not seen the israeli team play but looking at the stats it looked liked russia dominated i.e. shots on goal, target, ball posession.
russia was unlucky but i will give credit to israeli. they may be good.
