good to see israel deflating da egos of da england team.

well it isnt like its illegal to open a national teams thread here.
dis is as u noe a football subforum.

i dunno much about da national squad since most of their players are from da israeli league.
i think there are 2 players from da epl rite? (benayoun n ben haim)

it is of note dat they were unbeaten throughout last year's world cup qualifying rounds.
although they didnt qualify, it is commendable for a country ravaged by war.

a bit of googling turned up dis result.

In 2006 World Cup qualifying, Israel finished third in European zone Group Four behind France and Switzerland despite being unbeaten in their 10 matches after four wins and six draws, and failed to qualify for the finals. Coach Avraham Grant announced his resignation on 26 October 2005. After the end of his contract he was succeeded by Dror Kashtan.
