I get the strand feeling that Arabs don’t like Israel 

 

That actually is a seriously interesting point you make though.

Technically speaking they probably compete under Palestine flag. It's not much about Israel as place where they live but the Israeli flag that will never be shown at these Games

According to many experts and fans, the best and most talented player in Slovak history, Peter Dubovský, would be 48 years old today. 

 

 

The Friday 23rd June 2000 the entire football world remained in shock. Tragic news came from Thailand.

 

Peter Dubovský died. Hard to believe, because he was only 28 years old. However, it did not take long and these rumors were confirmed. The Slovak offensive midfielder succumbed as a result of injuries he suffered when falling from a cliff over twenty meters on the island of Koh Samui...

 

 

 

During his short career he played for 2 National teams Czechoslovakia (1991-1993 last year the team was called Representation of Czechs and Slovaks) with 9 caps and 6 goals including the hattrick against Romania in Košice during the 1994 FIFA world Cup qualifiers

 

and Slovakia (1994-2000) 18 matches with 8 goals

 

At clubs base he played for Slovan Bratislava, Real Madrid and especially Real Oviedo where he became a huge star and local hero

it was a simpler time.  People genuinely believed that ringing the track with a single bale of straw & a hollow tube would protect them against a 200kmh accident.
