While Israel is surprised by the qualification of the youth team to the finals of the European Championship, our rival tonight (Friday) - England - is about realizing the expectations that the English association had even before the tournament.
With three victories in the home stage including one of them over Israel, without conceding a goal and with a victory over Italy in the semi-finals (1: 2) nothing but the trophy lifting will be accepted in peace in the kingdom.
To give England's youngsters the feeling that the tournament will not go unnoticed by the important people, Gareth Southgate, the senior team coach, had a motivational talk with the players before heading to the championship in Slovakia with the approval of coach Ian Foster.
When a player from the 2003 yearbook - Jude Blingham - already gets minutes under him in the senior team, the England players know how important it is for them as a team and as individuals to win the championship.
There may very well be quite a few names that Mackin, Oscar Gluch, and Roy Revivo will face in the autumn tomorrow will be Premier League stars.
Karni Chukwamka for example may be the most brilliant jewel after gradually breaking out this year at Aston Villa under Steven Gerrard and his name has already been linked with Arsenal, Liverpool, Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund.

The one who is probably supposed to bother Ofir Haim the most is Diane Scarlett, the Tottenham striker, who scored twice against Serbia before being rested in the previous game against Israel.
Whoever is referred to by the Spurs coach - Antonio Conte - as an "important prospect" is expected to be loaned out to the Championship team next season and marked to be Harry Kane's successor in the not-too-distant future.

And even before the strong desire for achievement, in England, where a special program for the team's growth was built several years ago, we know that even with a win, the road is no less important.
"Our idea is that regardless of age, people will be able to know that it is the England team that is playing," Foster told the British Guardian in an interview.
"There is an accurate plan on how to play, what our DNA is, and of course a requirement to play at high intensity, at a high pace and control the ball."
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
