23.06.98After a long vacation the news are back.
Hapoel Tel Aviv made an important win yesterday and her first in europe ever as it beat the Finish team 3-1. Hapoel Tel Aviv scored first in opening minutes of the game but Flolayt evened and than things looked bad as an even with an away goal means that even a 0-0 result in Finland will take the Finish team another level forward but Hapoel came to the second half hungry for goals and after a long pressure Hapoel scored two goals one by Asi Tubi the teams new striker and the other a fantastic goal scored by Shalom Tikva. Hapoel will have to win the Finish team and the Finish weather in Finland but her chances are 80-20 to her favor. Beitar Jerusalem-B-36 (Farow Islands) The game was not close to rise to the european level as both teams were very weak just the foreign team was weaker. Ofer Shitrit scored his first goal in the team and after that it was all Shaloy who scored a three goals row stopped only by a penalty kick that was scored by B-36. 4-1 in the end leaves Beitar with 90-10 chances of meeting Benefica in the next level. 09.06.98Macabi Haifa continued with her succesful hunting after young and talented players as the newcomer is Liron Vilner Macabi Netanya's strikerwho played together with Benayoon in the Israeli youth team that reached the third place in Europe.

Another striker expected to leave Beitar is Nir Sivilia. Nir Levin last years Hapoel Petah Tikva coach will coach Irony Ashdod next year. Hapoel Tel Aviv is interested in the improver of the year y Israsoccer Jan Talesnikov who will decide until the end of the week to which team he will go. 17.05.98 The Israeli national team beat Latvia in the score of 5-1 as it led 3-0 after 30 minutes. The Latvians were no match for the Israeli team as the team without her European stars Bercovich, Revivo, Tal Banin and Alon Hazan just played against the wind. The Latvian keeper was the biggest embarrassment in the team as he made all 6the wrong moves. The scorers were Nimni, Talesnikov, Najuan Grayev, Alon Mizrachi and Asi Tubi.09.05.98 The season ended only two days ago but the teams are already hunting for players. The champion Beitar Jerusalem is looking for some heavy reinforcement in her way to the champions league as she wants: Ofer Shitrit instead of Sivilia who will leave probably for Macabi Haifa and Shay Holzman who will leave Beitar also Beitar wants Asi Domb and Shimon Gershon as Sergey Tartiac will probably be a substitute. The biggest lost for Beitar will be Eshtevan Pishont who will probably leave the team. Hapoel Tel Aviv already declared it will change all of it's foreigners in the end of the year. It seems that this is going to be a summer full of transactions.07.05.98 After a bad weak for the Israeli soccer and a violent one too the 30th and last round will take place today and tomorrow as Beitar Jerusalem will meet Macabi Petah Tikva in Tedi stadium what is likely to be Beitar's championship game and Hapoel Tal Aviv will meet Hapoel Ashkelon which is already planing her next year in the second league and she will play without her foreigners so Hapoel should have no trouble beating her.The Israeli national youth team lost to Portugal in the european championship and in that she finished her way in the positions 5-8. 02.05.98 A scandal in the fields? In the game of Beitar Vs. Beit Shean in which Beitar won 3-2 it seemed as if in the second half Beit Shean's players did not make an effort to win the match as in the half the score was 1-1 after Beit Shean played very good but in the second half they started to lose their good play Beitar scored 2-1 by Abuksis but then in the 85th minute Beit Shean came back as Almog Hazan who came up from the bench scored but then the real disgrace began as Beit Shean players did not try to defend themselves they just gave the ball to Beitar's players it even seemed as if they sold the game as all the players the players except Panchulidza and those who came up from the bench stopped playing and did not even celebrate Hazan's goal! And then after 10 unlucky attempts Beirtar scored in the 93rd minute and now the championship is very close as next week Hapoel Tel Aviv will have to win and hope that Beitar will lose.
The israeli youth national team climbed to the 1/8 final of the european championship in Scotland after a win against Croatia 2-0 and she will face Portugal and if she will win she will meet either Ireland or Denmark.
1.Croatia 4 2.Israel 2 3.Rusia 2 4.Ukrain 1 Israel has to finish in one of the first two places which means she will need to win or to get a tie and hope that Ukrain will not lose to Rusia. 26.04.98 Tal Banin had a very disappointing evening as his Brecia lost 3-1 in her home to Bolongia and probably bought herself a ticket to the second league as she is now 15th and three points unther the 14th place that remains in the first league (Piacenza is now 14th).21.04.98 In the half final of the cup:Westham with Eyal Bercovich beat Blackburn in the result of 2-1. Both of the goals were scored by Hartson and one was assisted by the one and only Eyal Bercovich who had a most succesful week assisting three goals in three games. Westham is now 6th a place that leads to the UEFA cup but Blackburn is only one points a head of her. To watch the full league table Press Here 13.08.98Giora Shpigel Macabi Haifa's former manager will probably be Hapoel Petah Tikva's manager next year and replace Nir Levin.

Barcelona made an official request
to Celta Vigo in the matter of purchasing Haim Revivo. The offer is in
the value of 10 milion dollars and it contains two great players one is
Couto and the other is Chirich both very good players in the past which
are going down and those players together with a milion dollars are the
Barcelona's offer for Revivo. Celta Vigo officials said in a few chances
that they are not ready to realese Revivo but the spanish law says that
if Barcelona will offer 13 milion dollars Celta will have to realese him.
Game of the year was one of the worst games this year. Beitar surprised and became Hapoel's clone playing with no strikers and almost no offense scoring a lackey in the 21st minute (Eshtevan Pishont). Throughout the whole game we could not see good soccer as both of these can and should show and the dessert was Shavit Elimelech's blow to Nir Sivilia and the red that came after it. The only good thing that came out of this game is a very close top with Beitar and Hapoel both with 56 points only 5 games to go. The half final draw: Macabi Haifa-Irony Ashdod Hapoel Jerusalem-Hapoel Bear Sheva Hapoel Bear Sheva made the surprise of the cup in overtime as from the 15th place in the standings it won Beitar Jerusalem 2-1 from a goal by Okapele and from an assist by Alon Rif both of them were substitute players. It began in a goal by Hamer for Beitar in the first half but Bear Sheva made an even goal and Okapele made the finishing goal. Hapoel Tel Aviv will not be in the half final either as it lost 10-9 in penalties to Hapoel Jerusalem. It began with 1-0 to Jerusalem continued with 1-1 by Shitrit then 2-1 to Tel Aviv again by Shitrit but Jerusalem came back to the game with Ismail Amar who made 2-2. In overtime Jerusalem scored 3-2 by Laslo Ze but in the 119th minute Shitrit scored his first coming to 3-3 in the end. After 7 penalties Pini Balali hit the bar and Liran Shtaruber Jerusalem's keeper the man of the match gave Jerusalem the ticket to the half final in Ramat Gan. Macabi Haifa stayed alive this year after hardly winning in overtime 4-2 Irony Rishon Lezion and what a game by Alon Mizrachi. It begun with Sharon Marziyano who scored 1-0 for Rishon but a few minutes after Alon Mizrachi scored 1-1. However Rishon was not ready to give up and Kashnezev scored 2-1 and again Alon Mizrachi scored the even goal 2-2. Going to overtime Rishon was tired and broken and Mizrachi made his hat-trick (third goal) going to 3-2 and just before the fat lady sang Mizrachi fell in the box and received a penalty kick but like a true gentleman he gave Arik Benado to score the penalty. There is not much to write about the game. Irony Ashdod 2 Hapoel Petah Tikva 0 Turgeman was good in Ashdod. Tal Banin our representative in Italy had a less successful game he got a red card in injury time while Brecia finished in 1-1 against Bari. Brecia is now 12 but still 3 points from the second league. Tomorrow at 17:15 the big derby of Tel Aviv will take place Yellow Vs. Red. In the last few years these derbies were almost meaningless as Macabi was at the top and Hapoel at the bottom and both teams thought that this was there appropriate position. However this year Hapoel is in the middle of the championship struggle against Beitar Jerusalem and one game before the match against Beitar and Macabi will want to prove that it is still the great team it used to be. Wait for the on-line updates tomorrow!!! Westham's chairman set today in Kiryat Eliezer and watched closely after every move that Alon Mizrachi made and I bet he was very impressed although Westham has two magnificent strikers (Hartson and Kitson). Alon Mizrachi scored two goals and assisted one. Westaham with Eyal Bercovich finished in 1-1 its game against Manchester United. Bercovich had a great game as he in one play passed three players his kick was stopped by the keeper and another Westham player continued the ball to the net. Westham with Eyal Bercovich finished in an even 1-1 with Arsenal in the league cup and the teams will have a rematch. As a result of that Westham will not play in Israel as it was planed. In a charity game which was held tonight the artists team won the Kneset member's team 3-1 Hapoel Ashkelon-Irony Ashdod 1:0 |
