Israel vs. Eesti Vabariik (Estonia) [R], UEFA Euro 2008, Qualifying Round, 02.09.2006

Re: Israel vs. Eesti Vabariik (Estonia) [R], UEFA Euro 2008, Qualifying Round, 02.09.

What about in Maryland/Washington DC?

 

Israel in America has it listed......I just checked. They usually broadcast from Channel 10 Israel. I sure hope it's on.

 

I can't imagine the Israeli network not showing it.

 

Kashtan invites Toto Tamuz, Dekel Keinan and Klemi Saban

Great calls by Kashtan, all three deserves to be in the National team and i'm sure they'll do a great job.

 

Full Squad for Israel's qualifiers against Estonia and Andorra.

Goalkeepers: Dudu Aouate (Deportivo Coruna), Nir Davidovich (Maccabi Haifa).

Defenders: Tal Ben Haim (Bolton Wanderers), Shimon Gershon (Beitar Jerusalem), Tomer Ben Yosef (Beitar Jerusalem), Omri Afek (Beitar Jerusalem), Roni Gafni (Beitar Jerusalem), Yoav Ziv (Beitar Jerusalem), Klemi Saban (Steaua Bucharest), Dekel Keinan (Maccabi Haifa).

Midfielders: Idan Tal (Bolton Wanderers), Yossi Benayoun (West Ham United), Yossi Shivhon (Maccabi Tel Aviv), Michael Zandberg (Beitar Jerusalem), Gal Alberman (Beitar Jerusalem), Walid Badir (Hapoel Tel Aviv), Salim Tuama (Hapoel Tel Aviv).

Strikers: Yaniv Katan (Maccabi Haifa), Shlomi Arbeitman (Maccabi Haifa), Omer Golan (Maccabi Petah Tikva), Toto Tamuz (Beitar Jerusalem), Amit Ben Shushan (Beitar Jerusalem)

Good to see Tal Ben Haim back in the squad. I'm disappointed about Colautti's citizenship issues preventing him making the squad but as far as I can see, that looks a strong squad.

 

It will be interesting how Kashtan plays everyone. Golan needs to play more, and glad to see Ben Haim back as well. Estonia will be prepared for this game, I hope we start off strong and in control.

-----Zandberg-------------Tal------------
----------------Alberman (Badir)----------
Ziv (Gafni)--Gershon (Keinan)--Ben-Haim--Saban (Afek)
------------------Aouate------------------

 

Re: Israel vs. Eesti Vabariik (Estonia) [R], UEFA Euro 2008, Qualifying Round, 02.09.

wtf is tamuz doing there!!!
overall i like it, less tamuz, tuama and badier

i would lineup these guys

-------Ben-Shoshan----Arbeitman--------
----------------Benayoun----------------
-----Katan-----------------Zandberg-----
----------------Alberman--------------
-----Ziv---Gershon---Ben-Haim--Keinan
------------------Aouate------------------

when colautti gets all his papers right, i would put him over ben shushan and keep the same lineup, it looks very sweet!!!

 

Re: Israel vs. Eesti Vabariik (Estonia) [R], UEFA Euro 2008, Qualifying Round, 02.09.

why leave tal on the bench?????

arbeitman was terrible against slovenia.....and hasnt done anything with haifa this year....id take golan over him

and keinan isnt a right-back

tuama is an amzing player definately deserves his place......badir is decent back-up for alberman...and tamuz may be a bit too young but hes a very talented player

 

Re: Israel vs. Eesti Vabariik (Estonia) [R], UEFA Euro 2008, Qualifying Round, 02.09.

i like arbeitman, despite of his childish actions, and keinan can play also as a right back, he played as a right back against liverpool he was moved to the center right when meshumar camed in, and we all know what happened...keinan is the right back we all have been waiting for

and about badier and tuama, i would call tamir cohen and moshe mishaelof insted of them!!!

 

Estonia's game will see the transition of one generation of Israeli soccer to another. The only older players left from Avraham Grant's regime are Walid Badier and Idan Tal, meaning the likes of Dekel Keinan, Amit Ben-Shoshan, Omer Golan, Michael Zandberg and Roni Ziv will be relied upon during this campaign. I am very excited yet nervous to see how this very new look team performs.

I think one of the most subtle differences between the Israel squad to face Estonia versus the one that played Slovenia was the inclusion of Klemi Saban at left back. Lets not forget what a wonderful job he did in the WC 2006 qualifiers against France and Ireland home and away, helping Israel hold down Thierry Henry and Robbie Keane during those matches. Saban and Tal Ben Haim's admittance back into squad will put a lighter ray on the defence that looked so suceptible in the friendly in Slovenia.

 

Re: Israel vs. Eesti Vabariik (Estonia) [R], UEFA Euro 2008, Qualifying Round, 02.09.

nir davidovic can play right back too

keinan didnt play right back harazi did then keinan got injured and meshumar came in so harazi played center back

keinans natural postition is centre back and thats his best position

tamir cohen was terrible last year and hasnt done anything this year while mishaelof is struggling to find starts at maccabi, these two players dont even start at maccabi tel aviv but they should be called to the nt

tuama is a great player way better than tamir cohen and mishaelof....definately deserving of his place......badir is legitimate player for the nt as well

 

klemi saban is a right back, he doesnt have a left foot

and the two left backs are yoav ziv and roni gafni

 

Haha I realized those errors after I posted the message.....thanks though

 

I don't see the big deal about Idan Tal, he's good but I personelly would not start him. Except that pass to Adoram in swiss he was not very impressive. He tends to complaine way too much and fouls slightly less. perhaps you guys know and see something I don't.....i hope that its true.

I'm also not sure about our striker situation..... I am not too familiar with some of these guys because i only saw them a few times in the leaga play. One thing for sure, we need strikers that are aggressive and fast.

No one mentioned pini's absence, I guess everyone disliked him on the nt team,, Omer Golan I hope will play good for us.

 

In the last campaign he was very good, very consistant in the midfield. He did much more than that one assist.

This guy plays in the English Premiership, was one of the top performers in the Israeli League that last 3 years, is one our few players who can control the ball well against top class opositions, has great passing, good free-kicks, great shots, how in hell can you not start this guy?

 

I think maybe Tal's European experience is good for the team as apart from Yossi not many of those players I would have imagined have played in England and Spain.
Couple of questions: on a scale, how good is Dudu Aouate - is he better than most international goalkeepers? &
Who is Gal Alberman/how good is he?

Thanks

 

what time is the game gonna be on in the west coast of the U.S. and A?

 

well ... hopefully Tal will impress me in the euro'08. Didn't he just get signed by the Bolton, but your right, if he was one of the most well rounded players in the israeli league than he should play. I just hope he won't disapoint, he never seemed that good to me.

In regards to Aouate, , , The mans a brave goalie, , look how the irish are still cursing his name after that game in dublin. He made a mistake using the wrong hand to deflect that goal by Ian Harte but he made many brave saves and jumps to stop many goals. With a bleeding nose and constant hits from the irish team he stood his ground and stopped all shots in the second half. He is one of the best goalies in la liga and now he plays for la coruna.
He definently deserves to start as the #1 goalie, But hey thats just mho.

Question: So are you guys saying that colautti will play? how funny is that.

 

If i'm not mistaken, the time difference between Israel and LA is 10 hours, and the match will be played at 21:30 Israeli time. so i guess it'll be at 11:30 AM LA time?

 

This is expected to be Israel's starting line-up

---------------Colautti------Katan----------------
--------------------Benayoun (c)-----------------
----------Tal------------------------Zandberg----
-----------------------Badir----------------------
Ziv----------Gershon--------Ben-Haim-------Afek
----------------------Aouate--------------------

It seems kashtan has opted for experience with badir in the defensive midfielder position, Gal Alberman will have to wait with his chance on the bench.

While Yoav Ziv's strong performance against Slovenia 2 weeks ago has earned
him a precious start at left-back.
