dear Rosenborg Fans
I hope that a lot of Rosenborg fans will be in Israel.
I am Macabi Haifa fan. Of course I want my team to win, but more than, I want that it will be a fair play and I want to remeber that it is only a sport.
It is peaty that the winner will colect about 5 milion Euros, that can distort the real sport spirit.
What can I greet the 2 teams?
That the luck will share equaly between the two teams.
Baruch

Thanks, Baruch, and the same to you and your team.
One of the Norwegian papers writes today that there's been a fair amount of press in Israel over RBK and Haifa accusing each other of unsportsmanlike behavior / lying / etc. Even the sports commentator in our local paper had some pretty harsh words about Maccabi Haifa's supposed "unsportsmanship" after the first leg. It's a shame that this sort of thing detracts from the sport; no matter what really happened, I have no doubt the media has enjoyed making a lot of trouble about something fairly small.
Fortunately none of this will matter this evening. In the end it all boils down to 22 players and 90 minutes, and may the best team win!
