How many can converse fluently in Hebrew for instance ? Many Jewish Americans know Hebrew, but that’s an interesting question. It’s not hard to get Israeli citizenship, so they’ve made it easier for Americans to join “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair” - Nelson Mandela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phelps 6,914 Posted September 20, 2019 Author #46 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Colabellooooooooo!!! once again, Italy went down first (0-2 after 4 innings), but now Colabello brought Poma and Maggi home with a double at center field in the 5th and we're tied at 2... in the meantime, also in the 5th, the Netherlands are 3-1 ahead against Spain...

NearPup 2,169 Posted September 20, 2019 #47 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Italy having a horror top of the 8th inning. Couple of errors, two hit by pitch, three runs scored so far for Israel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,914 Posted September 20, 2019 Author #48 Share Posted September 20, 2019 and the Italian Olympic dream is flying away in a crazy top of the 8th...2 capital mistakes and a weird, really unlucky play opened up a 3-run gap in favour of Israel... and the inning is not over yet... it will be really difficult to comeback from this hole, now...

NearPup 2,169 Posted September 20, 2019 #49 Share Posted September 20, 2019 It’s really hard to express how unlucky the Italian team was during the top of the 8th inning. Just a ridiculous series of events. 8 - 2 with 1.5 innings to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
