Summary: Israel's youth team defeated France 1: 2 (Sport 1)
A great feature this morning (Thursday) at Ben Gurion Airport ahead of the youth team's final game tomorrow night against England, a game to be held in the city of Trnava in Slovakia. The airport is also very busy during this period and especially on Thursdays. Many will have booked tickets
for the historic game today and tomorrow morning.
Many booked tickets only yesterday after the team defeated France in the semi-finals. Dozens took off for Vienna and took cars with them to Slovakia.

In Slovakia, Ofir Haim's players mostly rested yesterday, but the great excitement is not to be missed.
Most of them were born in 2004, only 18 years old, and the madness in Israel, after what they did, reaches them.
Most of the media systems also did not remain indifferent and sent emissaries to cover the final, which generated a great deal of interest in Europe due to the sensational immigration of the Israeli team to a meeting with England on the whole box office.
The players of the team were mainly in the rooms of the hotel yesterday and went to a professional meeting specifically about the French team, which they won in the semifinals on Tuesday.
Today, the professional team will give them more content about the England team, which the players already know after the meeting in the home stage and the minimum loss to the one that will be a favorite tomorrow as well.
"On the one hand we have nothing to lose, because we really made history," one of the players said last night.
"But when you get to the final, you want to take everything so no one wants to settle for second place. If we beat France by half, you can also beat England and really make history that will be remembered in fifty years."
Give us a goal against England too.

The delegation in Slovakia does not feel that the players should be lowered to the ground.
"These guys are so hungry for success. This is a generation that is not satisfied for a moment," the team says.
"These guys want a career and know it's a milestone that can set everyone's next 15 years. To be a European champion is to put a stamp on your career and set a milestone that will serve everyone. These are guys who have seen and grown up on Eran Zehavi, Manor Solomon and Mons Dabour. "We want to go their own way and the sky is the limit for everyone. They will give everything one hundred percent."
