OOPS!!! The Uefa cup final will be held in israel next year and not this year.
The Israeli soccer management had gone down to a new level as the union chairman Gavri Levi had a literal fight with Hapoel Haifa's owner Roby Shapira in live broadcast in the Haifa radio. In that "conversation" Levi made remarks about Shapira being a Roster (what is the connection to soccer?) and offended about the way he made his money.

In my opinion it is the Israeli soccer management which is dragging israeli soccer to low levels and Gavri Levi should be fired.
