Only in Israel: the questions that arise after the crushing victory over Austria
It was one of the weirdest team games ever, and after the amazing quintet quite a few questions arise: why did Rotensteiner choose this team, what will happen to Tibi, does Eran Zehavi really have no place in the '99 team and how did the fans who insisted on ruining the celebration do just the opposite?
Ron Amikam concludes a bizarre play

All the goals of the World Cup qualifiers, from Saturday, September 4 (Sports 1)
It was one of the weirdest team games ever.
At some point, in a 0: 3 situation, the balance of kicks to the goal was 3:15 for the Austrians.
Add to that the bizarre whistles of contempt for every little touch of Mons Dabour's ball, and you've got every TV director's nightmare: planting a sound that doesn't match what you see in the game.
That's how it sounds.
And with all the weirdness, and the bizarre and the alien (how did he say yesterday Natcho on Zehavi?
Very reminiscent of the first 10th score received by a player in Israeli football, Hapoel Tel Aviv goalkeeper Yoel Shoham, at the end of a game in which Hapoel Tel Aviv defeated Maccabi Haifa 0: 3 from three kicks per goal.

Some talent, some beautiful moments.

The first half was hard to watch, both because of the contempt whistles, also because the crowd had a hard time moving between contempt whistles and cheers, so the 0: 3 in the 35th minute was received like 0: 3 over San Marino and not Austria with the amazing David Alaba and Marco Artanovic. The real difficulty in watching was because of the brake function. It's not clear what game Willy Rotensteiner saw that complimented Uriel Degani and Nir Bitton, but moving the ball in the back was like playing Russian roulette with a full pistol, and that includes Marciano whose foot play in the shots outweighs his foot play in a delivery attempt.
The truth about Eitan Tibi was told in his silent way by Vladan Ivic, who sent him to rest for an entire season on the bench because he helped Sarpsborg qualify for the home stage of the Europa League at the expense of Maccabi Tel Aviv. After Rami Gershon, Eitan Tibi is another flashback to past stopper Dudu Dahan. He deserves an award for a lifetime achievement on behalf of both families.
According to Rotensteiner, Tibi complained about a physical problem in the half and was therefore replaced.
There was no shortage that would have remained to amuse the Austrians in the second half.
Before complimenting Rotensteiner on the substitutions, one has to ask - how did he choose to play with a contact (Bitton) as a brake and with a brake (Alhamid) as a contact, and why does his first lineup look like a patchwork lineup compared to the last lineup?
Take the substitution in the half, with Glazer coming in instead of Tibi and Alhamid returning to his natural and historic place as a left-back, and the double substitution throwing Muhammad Abu Fani and Sean Weissman into the pitch.
With all due respect to Solomon's goal, Zehavi's kidnapping on the way to his goal and Marciano's saves - these are the substitutions that won the game.
Glazer snatched, Weissman on his first touch sent on the left for connections.
Map of Austria moved a ball in defense even worse than Israel moved in the first half.

One should check with oneself why the defense looked like this.

It was necessary to go to the Asian Games in Tehran in 1974 to see when Israel won three games in a row, scoring 13 goals (a quartet in Moldova, a quartet in the Faroe Islands, a quintet in Austria).
So it ended in a top eight for Malaysia, a top three for the Philippines and a top three for Japan.
Rotensteiner said it was first and foremost golden.
He has scored 6 goals out of those 13, but that’s even less than 50 percent of the team’s total goals.
Apparently a question that claimed that Zahavi has no place in the previous team that won a top five for Austria, should make room for a few more who have a place in the '99 team.
Meanwhile, Zehavi has single-handedly given Austria a five in the last two home games against them.
Israel scored a top five yesterday, spying on four pioneers.
It's impressive on every scale, it also says a lot about the quality in the offensive part of the team.
The problem, of course, is that after the quintet against Austria in '99, we also snatched a quintet against Denmark.
So it took five months between games, this time only three days.
After all, our brakes fell off our feet yesterday, Ofri Arad is not mentally fit for Denmark and we were left with Iyad Abu Abid who is inexperienced.
Joel Abu Hanna does not even dress for the national team.
It is better to give up an array of three brakes in a game where it is doubtful that we will attack, also because it is not certain that it is possible to sew three brakes per game, even strikers.
And something else about what's left.
Israel is in second place, but will have to play in Denmark, Scotland and Austria, where it will be possible to get a single point there.
Israel can reach the World Cup playoffs if they can achieve more than that, but if they rely on the past, they are very dependent on the Faroe Islands, which still have to host Scotland and Austria.

What a sweet moment.

It's a pity that Beavers Natcho did not name Itamar Ben Gvir when he spoke about elements who tried to set the fire, but he completely meant it as well. It was embarrassing to be in Sami Ofer yesterday when two audiences tried to treat Dabour in their own way, and no one interfered with the other. One side - the big side - that only contempt and the other side applauded. The most ridiculous thing was that every time a handful rose to sing "Dabour Ben *** e", the announcer inserted a text about wearing masks. Perhaps it should have been added that the masks are not only meant to protect against corona, but also to shut the mouth.
Dabour played, and scored, and made a sajda, and went to the crowd with the rest of the team to celebrate, and the contemptuous whistles that were strange to the guests and terribly disturbed the hosts suddenly seemed so sinful to the "goal." Have you ever seen a team score a goal and its crowd whistles contemptuously? only in Israel.
The paragon between the actors, the encouragement and the spur and all the "togetherness" that was last night in Sami Ofer, can be hung in the Davor saga.
There were moments yesterday when it seemed that Israel won an away game.
It can be said that he never united the team in such a way that an audience that felt anti towards it.
