Israel beat Brazil 2-3 after extra-time to reach the semifinals of the World Cup. Coach Ofir Haim's team continues to show character in every game.

The professional staff complimented the players on their ability and the fact that they felt that Israel was better than Brazil throughout the game. "There are just good players on this team," one Premier League coach tried to explain the secret of success. "We believe in ourselves before every game and this time we believed even though almost no one believed. There's a special team here," one player said.
