Ah, Haven't been to get time of work to goto the Milk Cup. Gotta say dissappointing results for Israel, they won the tournament last year. There were brillant in the final that aired live on BBC1 Northern Ireland
Israel was edged out 1-0 of the final by Chile. They will face Wales for a 3-4th place finish. Maccabi Haifa is through to the final where they will play Co Tryone. Maccabi Tel Aviv will vie for 3-4th after they were hammered 5-1 by Wolves. They will play against Co. Down.
Haifa won their competition and Tel Aviv lost so they came in fourth place. I can't believe that this is the best we can do against a bunch of clubs that don't even exist on the world stage.
