The Ghana player with the Israeli flag plays for a team in Israel, Hapoel Tel Aviv. He waved the flag for his Israeli fans.

As much as I enjoyed reading about the "shock" and "horror" this caused... it does seem a bit odd for a player on a national team to display another country's flag as a goal celebration...

From what I understand, Hapoel Tel Aviv set was the first major club to set up a football acedemy in Ghana to give young men a chance at playing professionally. These guys are eternally grateful to the club and Israel inparticular, for giving them the opportunity.

Israel, not Ghana, helped him get where he is today.
