So, who's starting for Israel in this one? http://www.goal.com/en-india/match/64663/ivory-coast-vs-israel/preview Here's Israel's squad: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_national_football_team#Current_squad Guess at starting lineup: -------Dudu Aouate-------- Spungin--Haim--Keinan---Ziv Benayoun-Cohen--Kayal--Rafaelov ------Barda----Sahar----- Why wasn't Gai Assulin called up?
Interesting note about this game, is that its happening in Switzerland, in Geneva. I assume its partially because a lot of the Ivory Coast players play in Europa, and also because of the situation back home, with the ongoing war/conflict/whatever you want to call it. 2 years ago Ivory Coast played Israel in Ramat Gan. 2-2 tie if I remember correctly.
Ended 4-3 Ivory Coast. Not clear what the lineups were or who goalscorers were for Israel. http://www.soccerway.com/matches/2011/08/10/world/friendly/ivory-coast/israel/1181133/
This appears to have been Israel's starting line-up: -----------Dudu Aouate--------- Cohen--Ben Haim--Keinan---Ben Dayan ------Kiyal-----Natkho------- Zahavi-----Benayoun----Barda ----------Hemed----------- Israel: Dudu Aouate, Almog Cohen, Tal Ben Haim (Itzik Cohen, 69), Dekel Keinan, David Ben Dayan, Biram Kiyal (Yuval Spungin, 45), Bibras Natkho (Itay Shechter, 46), Eran Zahavi, Yossi Benayoun (Ben Sahar, 61), Elyaniv Barda (Maor Melikson, 52), Tomer Hemed (Lior Refaelov, 69). http://www.mail.com/int/sports/soccer/617424-ivory-coast-beats-israel-4-3-friendly.html
