hapoel tel aviv - bnei sakhnin

This was an interesting game. Very strong wind and heavy rain. The pitch looked fantastic. Stadium maybe a quarter full and only one stand had a roof. No beer for sale, tea and pretzel had to do. Hapoel had very nice short passing play, especially in the first half hour. Hapoel got a penalty after a beautiful and expressive dive (I was impressed with the extremely high quality dives throughout the game). Their goalkeeper went up and smashed the penalty into the net.

Rain got worse in the second half and so did the quality of the game. Bnei Sakhnin comes from an arab village and has a mixed team which is nice. The game ended 1-0 with Hapoel pressing for a second after the Bnei Sakhnin goalkeeper was sent off after handling the ball outside the area. In all a friendly atmosphere in a ground not far from the sea, this would be great on a sunny day.

taxi driver has a gun...

he also had a deep purple cd he plays on full volume the whole way from the airport to the hotel.

cant complain like the dude though, telling the driver what he thinks about the f-in eagles. would risk entering a world of pain
