Forest,
Thanks for the tip about DITA...

Bonk, Eldad, forest,Yigal..etc
How confident are the Israelis about the match on saturday

Weird thing's are going on here.
10 days ago everyone were saying: " Yeah , we could do this . we could take at least 4 points from two match's" which i think is a complete joke.
But from the begining of this week everyone ( I mean the press ) are lowering the expectation's and are saying that Ireland and France are wayyyy better then Israel is - which is true.

My review for the match is a draw.
Simple: You are better then us but We will have home advatage with 42,000 fans out of 45,000 seats ( all tickets are sold already )

well the media talks about it all day like we actually allready won but deep inside nobody thinks we can win at least not among my friends but you have to know that everybody are very exited about all the irland fans that are comming and they dressed the yarkon street with irland flags and the party is specelly for you the city of tel aviv does everything so you will ejoyed your trip.
any way i am not much of clubs kind of guy ussally I go to bars but make shure that the tlv club doesn't hold a gay party that night and maby you can consider a club called the DOM wich is allso a good one
ussally you go out to a club in israel at around 00:00-01:00 intill 06:00 or so
about Irish pubs there about six of them I think and I can name some for you
molybloos in yarkon st. - its very close to the hotels
leo blooms - I donwt the exect adress now but its 15-20 min walk from the studiom so its a good place to go before the game
in the cinema city wich is out side of T.A 10 min by taxy from the center
in herzelia there is the Dublin at Shenkar st.

have a good time in israel.

You're more than welcome!
Unfortunately, there's no public transportation whatsoever during the Shabbat. No busses, no trains... The busses start to function only on Motzey Shabbat (Shabbat exit, Saturday evening), about at 7-8 PM, perhaps the trains as well, but I'm not sure about 'em...
So if you want to visit Caesarea it is best to do that on Thursday or early on Friday.

BTW, when I was recommending an Irish pub earlier in this thread, the one that is located in the Cinema-City, I've got mixed up with the names. The pub in the Cinema-City is called "Temple" something... "Dublin" pub, as forest wrote before, is located in Herzliya. BTW, if you're visiting in Herzliya - don't forget to visit the marina! Beautiful place! And as I recall, there's a pub in there as well.

The game creates euphoria among the Israeli press,fans and what ever here.
The press gives sensation that the Israeli national team can beat Ireland,
and got realistic chance to go on to the world cup. we are also excited about
the large number of Irish fans who expect to come TA.

An improtant point about the game- The gates of Ramat Gan stadium
will be open on saturday from 17:00 pm(local time),I suggest u to come
early to prevent from stuck in traffic jam on your way to the stadium,
and then u will be able to take a good sit.

to understand the atmosphere here, I translated for you interviews with Israeli players Yossi Benayoun (racing santander from Spain) and Avi Nimni (beitar Jerusalem).
Benayoun, the best Israeli player right now, said: "Let's be serious, you forget who we play against. Ireland is a better team than Israel, but it doesn't mean that we can't pass them. it will be hard, its not yossi banayoun against the Irish team, it's all the israeli national team".

Nimni, who still doesn't know whether he will be on the starting line up or not, said: "People talk about this match like it's about life or death depends on it. It is an important match, but you'll see that after this one, the next match will be "the most important" and so on for the other matches. It is important to remember always that Ireland and France are better than us in every situation".

i took it from an israeli football forum that called ASOCCER.co.il

Allright Bonk I know it starts at 12 Midday but we'll all be so rat-arsed by 6pm we probably won't be able to make it to any clubs.

Anyway Bonk & all the Israel posse we'll see youes there, I'm off to the Holy Land.....
