Ari:
In case anyone is interested in qualifying for the European soccer championships.  It was nice to see a packed stadium at Ramat Gam in Israel.

Why do they have to hold it on a saturday or friday evening. They try and MAKE something sinful and evil. I mean come on, what hassle would it be for them to hold it on a sunday?! These petty things cause ultimate disruption and defy the title of Israel being a jewish state, in terms of religiousness not race.

However its good to see Israel has got it in them to level england, who are pretty damn  good.

Ari:
I agree.  The game should probably have been moved later to avoid any confilict, but as has been pointed out by Chaim, the majority of Israelis do not keep Shabbat anyway unfortunately.
