They have qualified for the World Cup only once.
hi!
I wouldn’t expect Jerusalem to win the World Cup but it has won several games with some other smaller nations this year (Estonia, Slovakia, Moldova...). I’d expect the larger and more soccer-oriented countries to continue to compete for the actual championship (Argentina, Mexico or Brasil maybe, and a couple of the larger European countries...). Israel recenty lost 5 to 4 with Italy which places Israel just outside the qualifying rank. Not near the top to be sure but still too shabby a game given Italy has maybe 7X the population...smiles smiles.
Now, when it comes to chess.....
