He thinks its strange that you use the David star and that Jewish candelabra (I don't know what it is called) etc. on your match shirts/in your logos etc. Having a team shirt with a Christian cross on it would be unthinkable in Europe.

It is Jerusalem's city symbol

It seems like some clubs in Israel are willing to pay big salaries: Dereck Boateng from AIK will have a â‚¬2m net salary for three years in Beitar Jerusalem. Surprised

2mas thats because they have the money, they turned from a poor club to a very rich club.

Gerrit, maccabi haifa also played in that stadium, that is not our home stadium but we play there because of the war and uefa not allowing us to host a game in kiryat eliezer (mhaifa's stadium)

also theres a problem with the rockets and news keep telling us to go to secure rooms so i might have a problem to post here

It's somewhat disturbing to hear. I hope things will turn out well.

Thanks people...I really appreciate it but they got to Haifa this morning while I was sleeping with around 20 rockets...It's really scary hearing these rockets.

Wow I couldn't find this thread, I'll explain about the symbol...
Beitar is an organization back from when Israel or before Israel was born, so they use it as their logo symbol..but still there must be a better reason.

Update::

UEFA Cup 1st
Maccabi Haifa - PFC Litex Lovech (BUL)
FC Chornomorets Odesa (UKR) - Hapoel Tel-Aviv

I hope the games are going to be in Israel and not in some damn neutral country so MH can make something out of this year..

Litex last year eliminated RC Genk from my native country Belgium. They're not a bad side, but they should be overcome by Haifa. Underestimating is dangerous, but if you're well concentrated it should be a win for Maccabi. Good luck!

I don't know why I bumped this but the way Maccabi plays in the league is not so well!! Maccabi haifa are 8th after 9 games, 3 wins, 4 ties and 2 loses with 13 points.

Beitar are leading with 20 points and 10 games.

Also need me to say we're missing a game because of uefa cup..

According to what I've heard Norways second goal was incredible Smile

Maccabi 'germany' Tel Aviv? Razz

I started following the Israeli league more since seeing you on the forums. And I really MUST visit that Ramat Gan stadium, it's one of the most colourful stadiums I ever saw on a picture! Surprised

How is it to live and follow the league, when you have people are suicidal and rockets etc?

For me that is scary...

I think that Maccabi Haifa or B. Jerusalem wil win the league.

Green Apes · Proff Joined: 05 Oct 2005 Posts: 343 Location: Israel

We don't have any suicidals so far the army is doing great work Razz

and for rockets they do fall only on the south from gazza..but what does that have to do with football? back on topic Wink

To be honest I don't think we can win the league, we need to focus on UEFA more because if you win it you don't have to go to CL and lose at 3rd qualifying match thanks to goal at the 90th minute.

Jurgen Cavens, my fellow countryman from Belgium and currently playing for local team Germinal Beerschot, may move to Maccabi Tel-Aviv. Maccabi have outed interest in him, and the Germinal Beerschot director has allowed them to negotiate with the player.

I have nothing against Germany you might want to know that, we hate nazis and neo nazis and I don't think anyone here would give me any reason not to.

We don't have winter breaks or anything like that because it barely even rains here anymore, Maccabi Haifa beats hapoel gazza tel aviv by the way 3-2, it was 3-0 to maccabi in the first half and hapoel's captain got red card, on the second half we ate 2 goals and I don't know how that happens to us!!!

Paradise. We in Ireland have not had a week without rain the last 3 months. The rain pours down and the wind makes it a true storm. It almost becomes depressing... Neutral

And of course no one will blame you for hating nazi's. It's the ideology of hatred and hopefully it will never see the light of day anymore. The holocaust should never be forgotten and hopefully will remind people forever of the dangers of far-right politics.
