I was ecstatic that Israel’s national team defeated Russia in a Euro 2008 qualifier yesterday. It was a nail-biting, intense game. While the teams were tied in the second half, Russia focused so much on having an aggressive offense that they left their defense wide open.
Today, New England is playing Houston in the Major League Soccer Championship. Not that I want to jinx anything, but it’s a real possibility that Boston teams could win the World Series, the Super Bowl, the NBA championship and the MLS championship. (The Bruins? Who are they?) Good luck!
