The Israeli national team successfully passed the preparatory match against Zambia last night (Thursday) with a 2:4 victory, and now they face Sunday, when they will meet Cyprus.
The team complimented the players who came and said "they don't think about a vacation but about how to proudly wear the national uniform".
The professional team complimented defender Sean Goldberg who came up injured and was given painkillers to play.
A similar story was with midfielder Dor Peretz, who did not give up the opportunity he received.
Despite the workload, the Maccabi Haifa players, including Goldberg, Netta Lavi and Dean David, are expected to remain on the roster, although coach Alon Hazan will make changes to allow more players to get minutes.

The professional manager Yossi Banyon decided not to call another player in place of Miguel Vitor, who was released last night due to the strain he was suffering from.
Even so, Vitor was not expected to play against Cyprus.
Among the expected changes on Sunday, Hazan is expected to start in goal with Maccabi Tel Aviv goalkeeper Daniel Peretz in place of Amri Glazer.
In defense, Raz Shlomo will start as a stopper, Max Grechkin will get minutes as a left back, and in midfield - team captain Beavers Natcho is expected to start in the 11th.
Natheko was disappointed when he did not get minutes against Zambia despite warming up for long minutes.
Hazan explained that more attacking substitutions should have been made due to the result of the game which was 2:2 at the time.
Midfielder Oskar Gloch made his debut in the national uniform at the age of 18 and will receive a recognition trophy for the occasion.
The Maccabi Tel Aviv player is also in the squad picture for Cyprus.
