The Israeli team has undergone a significant process in recent years with the goal of reaping the rewards already in the 2023 World Cup qualifying campaign and as part of the process joined a bunch of players who have wanted for a long time which should give it a certain advantage, especially in the window method.
For tonight's game (Monday, 20:30) in Heidelberg against Germany, the blue and whites will arrive in order to win and atone a little for the loss in Tel Aviv on Friday.
Guy Goodes will have at his disposal some very experienced players who have already played quite a bit in international and national frameworks.
The two most prominent are of course the veteran players on the team - Guy Pnini, 38, who is expected to make his 163rd appearance in the national uniform, and captain Gal Makal, who will celebrate his 34th birthday this weekend and is scheduled to play his 108th game in blue and white.
Bar Timor, who returned to the team after a long period, will advance to his 50th game in the team.
