If I was you I'd stay as fucking far away from the games as I possibly could. Couldn't possibly come up with a better stage for the likes of Hamas or Hezbollah to commit a terrorist attack even if you tried.

I doubt they will try. Not many people watch this level (not that the Israeli league is any better, if not a lot worse) so the crowd will be very small. They have so many football games to do this at.

Yeah but you rarely have such tournaments in Israel with a genuine international interest that this one will have, its all about getting maximum exposure, the amount of people inside the stadiums are irrelevant.

I'm not an expert at all, but wouldn't bombing a football stadium potentially killing/injuring British/Italian/Russian etc citizens be about the worst thing Hamas/Hezbollah could do? Wouldn't that just turn potential sympathisers totally against Palestine? And potentially pro-Israel. Possibly to the extent of backing Israel to do wath the hell it likes and turning a blind eye.

It is always possible. England already stepped up and said that they will / can host the tournament if the situation heats up again.

It would be a phenomenally stupid thing to do.

Gudmund Kongshavn - Vålerenga Fotball

Martin Linnes - Molde FK
Omar Elabdellaoui - Eintracht Braunschweig
Stefan Strandberg - Rosenborg BK
Thomas Rogne - Celtic FC
Fredrik Semb Berge - Odds Ballklubb
Vegar Eggen Hedenstad - SC Freiburg
Alexander Groven - Hønefoss BK

Magnus Wolff Eikrem - Molde FK
Anders Konradsen - Stade Rennais FC
Harmeet Singh - Feyenoord
Stefan Johansen - Strømsgodset
Håvard Nordtveit - Borussia Mönchengladbach
Abdisalam Ibrahim - Strømsgodset

Flamur Kastrati - FC Erzegebirge Aue
Marcus Pedersen - Odense BK
Håvard Nielsen - Red Bull Salzburg
Yann- Erik de Lanlay - Viking FK

Håvard Nordtveit, Valon Berisha and Joshua King were also called for Norway's World Cup qualifier against Albania on 7 June, so will be unavailable for the first two group stage games. Surprisingly, Markus Henriksen was left out for the tournament and will only play against Albania. Interesting squad nevertheless.

On FM England won this so I have high expectations. Then again Crawley's manager Richie Barker was the England Under-21s manager.

Their team would be in constant danger against Asian oppositions.

I do. I asked a question and it was answered. Then this...

Luckily I can see past this and I forgive you both. Now both of you should stop being utter fannies and stop contributing to the downfall of the site.

Full internationals Thiago Alcantara, Isco and Iker Muniain will travel rather than take part in the senior team's Confederations Cup campaign.
