they would shed a tear
what the he/l happened
now this garbage
Malmo is such a crap hole that rape of Swedish women goes mostly unreported as the police do little about it. All in the name of community relations.
Nice in the first picture. one guy with a brick and 5 people with cameras (2 video and 4 still).
What fuels this are those in the media who made being anti-Israel in vogue. I would bet most of those rioting wouldn’t be able to clearly state why they are for what they are for, if they even know what they’re for.
Exactly. In my view the proper response would be to take a brick to every one of this jerks possessions. Smash his car, if he has one, his iPod, his cell phone etc. etc. Then maybe he would develop some respect for the concept of property.
Who won the match?
Israel won 3-2. All singles matches went the distance, 5 sets(!!) The last and deciding match was a 3 1/2 hour epic ending up 8-6 in the fifth to Levy against Vinciguerra.
In total it was the longest Davis Cup tie Sweden has ever played - and Sweden has played in the Davis Cup since 1925.
The Israelis did extremely well under the circumstances (the hostile atmosphere, death threats etc), but the Swedish players also did well. Due to injuries Sweden had to put in two players who have not yet returned to tournament play after long-term injuries. Thomas Johansson (Australian Open Champion 2002) just returned after 5 months off due to an Achilles tendon operation, and Andreas Vinciguerra has been off the tour for three years because of multiple knee injuries. And then they go in and play two five-set matches each. Great stuff!
A tragedy for the sport that such a great game was decided under these circumstances.
Anyway, I’m sure the leftists and islamo-fascist filth in our streets and in our political assemblies are happy that they helped Israel to a historic victory.
