Big Game in Town
March 23, 2007 | Aussie Dave | Comments 3
Tomorrow night, there’s a big soccer game on in town, namely the Euro 2008 qualifier match between Israel and England. The England team are here, as are thousands of English soccer fans.
Meanwhile, security has been doubled at the hotel housing the English team. Well, not quite.
The players of the England football team landed in Israel’s Ben Gurion International airport Thursday evening, ahead of the Euro 2008 qualifier match against Israel scheduled for Saturday.
The beer supply at the Herzliya hotel housing the team has been doubled in anticipation of their arrival.
No doubt the beer will help the team forget the pork sausages and Parmesan.
Here’s hoping that Israel is able to pull off an incredible upset.

now don’t think that beating england will be something monumental. england is good but they have a major mental block. it is just a matter of when and to whom they are going to lose.
a victory would be sweet, though.
well done guys, thought you played well last night- especially considering it was against England.
You really made them have to try for it.
Being a scotsman living in England I made the daring choice of wearing my Israel shirt with a kilt- man, I was popular last night.
I hope that Israel qualifies, they seem to be playing with a lot of heart.
