In recent weeks, coaches have been looking for a senior commander who fought in the Gaza Strip. In the wake of recommendations they received from the Israel Defense Forces, national team coach Dror Kashtan and his assistant, Moshe Sinai, contacted Col. Ilan Malka.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Malka intends to speak with the players about the significance of the crucial game and about how the eyes of the nation of Israel are upon them,&#8221; the reporter said, citing what Malka had told him. &#8220;He will demand of the players that they correct the mistakes of the past, just as he demanded of his soldiers that they correct the shortcomings of the Second Lebanon War &#8211; because just like in the battles in Gaza, they will not get a second chance. Fight like lions. You are representing something far greater than just a soccer match.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/hasen\/spages\/1074326.html\">Read the report<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/pulsemedia.org\/2009\/03\/30\/israeli-soccer-team-told-to-fight-like-in-gaza\/\">hat tip<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Related<\/em>:<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2009\/03\/29\/18584540.php\">Crete, April 2<\/a>: Demonstration in support of sports boycott and protest of the Greece \u2013 Israel soccer match in Heraclion.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Yossi Sarid, Ha&#8217;aretz, 29 March 2009 On Wednesday, a military affairs correspondent for the daily Yedioth Ahronoth &#8211; yes, he, not a sports reporter &#8211; published an exclusive item on the news pages: The commander of the Givati Brigade &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/?p=7610\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pdXTf-1YK","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7610","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7610"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7610\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7618,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7610\/revisions\/7618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7610"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
