More than half of the WUJS Israel group recently went to the Israel v Greece soccer/football match, a World Cup Qualifier in Israel's bid to reach the finals in South Africa in 2010.  The atmosphere was electric with over 40,000 spectators packed into the stadium.  Following the incredible rendition of Hatikva, the game began and Greece soon took the lead going in 1-0 up at half time.  In the second half, Israel began to play and got a deserved equaliser midway through the half.  The game ended 1-1, a result that favoured the Greeks but we all had a good time anyway.
