The Great Bill Russel

     Joked once that if you can bottle all the emotion that is released in a game you would have enough hatred to start a war and enough joy to prevent one. Thank g0d a war was averted as Beitar Jerusalem with a late goal defeated its arch enemy Hapoel Tel aviv 1-0. The rivalry that pre dates the founding of the state is Labor v. Revisionist Zionism, Secular v traditional, Left v Right  Haves V Haves not's  and Ashkenazim Elite and Sephardi. The hatred is still as intense from the days of the Arlozorof murder and the Sinking of the Altelna. Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem held a moment of silence for Rav Ovadia something unprecedented in Israeli Soccer, and the war was on. It took me a little while to catch up to the chants but i got them for the most part you're mother is a whore whose gonna suck it for us, You are whores, son's of bitches and faggots etc. it amazed me that the 30k plus that attended from all ages for knew the chants. A true love affair between a city and it's team and with G0ds help we won, and the fans deserved every bit of the victory....... Here is how I know i am not Israeli waiting on line to get in i was with in the first 50 -75 fans at the gate I would estimate that i was probably the 1000th to get in didn't matter though........
