                                    LINE-UPS

    Israel:   Ginzburg;
              Ben-Shimon;
              Hazan, Cohen, Nimni;
              Ravivo (Tikvah '70), Harazi (Berkowitz '60), Klinger, Zohar, 
                   Banin;
              Rosenthal.

    Sweden:   Ravelli;
              Nilsson, P. Andersson, Bjoerklund, Ljung;
              Limpar, Rehn, Thern, Ingesson;
              Dahlin (Ekstroem '81), Brolin (Landberg '86).

    Looked to be a fine Swedish summer night in Tel-Aviv...
    The home side opened the best with two golden chances to go ahead.
    Zohar drove a beautiful freekick around the wall, fortunately, the ball
    hit the post. Later, Ravivo volleyed a ball in the crossbar, the
    Israeli forward missed the rebound. Instead, Sweden got the lead
    when Arsenal substitute Anders Limpar advanced on the Israeli part
    of the pitch and blasted home into the left top corner of Ginzburg's goal
    (did you see it George Graham???).
    The home side levelled the score with a tremendous strike by Tal 
    Banin, three minutes from the break. In the second half, Ravelli saved
    for Zohar after a long run by Cohen. Afterwards, the Swedes took control
    and dominated the play. Brolin missed a sitter (which showed that he
    still isn't in top shape because otherwise he would have scored...),
    before Sweden took advantage in a strange situation ended with a Limpar
    cross which was reached by Martin Dahlin who headed the visitors in front.
    The Israeli looked tired and didn't worry us too much and the third Swedish
    goal came as no surprise after a magnificent attack involving many
    players, Klabbe headed home a Roger Ljung cross. Overall, a solid
    performance by Sweden especially in the second half when they showed
    that they are a better side (or rather more complete). The home side had
    two big lights, Jitzack Zohar and Tal Banin, these players are real
    class! 

    Next match in group six are France versus Finland at Parc des Princes
    on Saturday (I hope Eurosport will show it) for the people who can't
    see it on telly (don't know if that includes me or not), Radio France
    International will broadcast it (at least, they have said that they
    are going to broadcast all WC qualifiers). I think the kickoff time
    is 20.45 MET (i.e. 19.45 UTC).

    In any case, I'll get a report for it someway.
