Sweet nothings from the mouth of Eyal Berkovic in last night's series on the state of Israeli football, "Searching for the lost trophy". He was referring to the lack of respect and lack of football culture in Israel, while handing out compliments left, right and center to Richard Nielsen, the Danish coach (he led Denmark to the European Championship in '92) who briefly took over the helm in Israel. Nielsen, who seems a very modest guy, always had a hard task to pull Israel into shape and never really had the time or the ability to outpower those in control at the Israel FA. His comment that the groundsmen were just as important as those who thought they were important, such as this piece of shite (the guy in the pic, Gavriel Levy, is a sorry excuse for an FA chairman), nicely summed up the first episode, at least for me...
I'm not going to delve into the problems that are rampant throughout the Israeli game and infrastructure, because these problems are prevalent throughout Israeli society and I'll end up sounding anti-semitic...let's just say that the league football in this country is a joke. I'm proud to say I've never watched a full game in my entire 14-15 years here.
Next part of "Searching for the lost trophy" is on Tuesday, though I'll probably miss out...
