If you watch highlights of the Ghana vs Czech Republic @ http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/index.html you will see that in the Ghana second goal celebretion, one of the players took out and waved the Israeli flag. I did some research and I found out that 3 Ghana players have played soccer for Israeli teams and 2 of them actually live in Israel.
1-Sammy Adjei
CLUB: Moadan Sport Ashdod, Israel
DOB: 01.09.1980.
Caps/Goals: 31/0
First-choice goalkeeper who spent most of his career with Accra Hearts of oak but moved to Israel in 2004. Made his debut in a World Cup qualifier against Sudan in 2001. An excellent shot-stopper who has played his club football in three different countries, he can occasionally lose concentration. Adjei appeared in ten of Ghana’s qualifying matches for the 2006 FIFA World Cup™.
6-Emmanuel Pappoe
CLUB: Hapoel Kfar Saba, Israel
DOB: 3.3.1981
Caps/Goals: 28/0
Another player capped as a teenager only to go into the wilderness for years before being restored to the side in 2002. Played a regular role in the qualifying campaign. He was the captain of the Ghana team which reached the final of the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship, and was also a member of the Ghana Olympic team in 2004
15-John Paintsil
CLUB: Hapoel Tel Aviv, Israel
DOB 15.6.1981
Caps/Goals: 22/0
Normally plays at right back but his versatility makes him a strong squad member, having also featured in central defence and at left back for his country. Played briefly in Poland at Widzew Lodz before moving to Israel.
now i dont know if anyone of them is Jewish but if the guy is waving an Israeli flag that tells u something. Anyway I thought its pretty cool to see our flag waved in the World Cup match by an African team :happy65:
btw I'm now rooting for Ghana. They upset the Czech Republic 2-0. GO GHANA!!!:jump20:
