Soccer fans are hot headed nationalists, at this point of bilateral crisis between the two "friendly" nations - will this match cause any political consequences?

Another interesting fact, Netanya's team is owned and managed by a German business... the plot thickens.

I'm more of a Maccabi Haifa fan. Go green. (I think there's a match today against some tiny Euro-middle-of-nowhere team)
