Post countries with national teams that act as baselines of power gaps I’ll start: Israel is a power gap that delineates the skill between Europe and Asia.
>Israel doesn’t really have a national team until 1948
>fifa shoves them in Asian confederation bc everyone else around them is in it
>Israel immediately begins destroying everyone, makes finals of Asian cup in 1956 and 1960, wins it in 1964
>Arabs have meltdown and cry because not only are they getting btfo by the Israelis in war but now their precious football teams are getting btfo as well
>east Asians don’t care but Arabs literally stop playing Israel and abandon all matches
>fifa cucks out and shoves Israel to Europe(which makes more sense anyways)
>Since then Israel has been relatively unremarkable, they qualified for euros once and their club teams make it to champions league, but in all they are on the lower middle end of European teams.
Therefore, Israel is a power gap indicator. They are elite in Asia, if not the best, but mediocre in Europe, showing that they are better than any Asian nation. If a nation beats Israel consistently, they can be considered better than the Asian teams due to the power gap indicator Israel represents. What other nations act as power gaps?

If an asian or african team can beat bolivia, maybe it could participate of the conmebol.qualifiers.
Not to mention Israel also qualified for the World Cup when they competed in Oceania before the official move to Europe. They also got third place at Asia Cup 1968 before getting banned by Muslims+North Korea
interesting, why does Bolivia represent the power gap?
good read (i honestly enjoyed it)
Keep in mind these:
>Nice trips
I think Israel is going to continue to get better as time goes by and their football develops. I think they will qualify for euros this year, looking great with the win over Austria. While they are a very small country so it will be hard for them, Jewish people are very athletically talented, so I think they could become a top 10 team in Europe easily
Bolivia is one of the most genuinely difficult teams to play against because of the altitude of their stadium
israel is a meme team, might as well call them USA 2.0 since they get billions from them each year and also import their culture en masse.
a lot of them are also european as fuck (ashkenazi) and don't really belong in israel anyway.
>Jewish people are very athletically talented,
bruh are you high?
'Sephardic' Jews in Hebrew literally means the Jews of 'Spain'.
While, 'Ashkenazi' Jews in Hebrew literally means the Jews of 'Germany'.
Lots of Olympic athletes were Jewish
According to a google search there are 355 Jewish Olympic medal winners
yeah and the real jews are sephardi and mizrahi, ashkenazi are meme jews.
Israel has only 9 Olympic medals, and most of them in Judo.
That’s pretty cool, never thought of it like that. What’s their record against non CONMEBOL members?
That’s why it makes sense for them to play in UEFA. Also they all left Europe to go to Israel and the US because of Europe trying to kill them all so I don’t get your point
Lots of American Jews won medals, they taught us about it in elementary once during a cultural significance unit which the only reason I remember
The real Canadians are québécois not British
>genetic researchers to have documented a common paternal genetic heritage between Sephardi and Ashkenazi Jews."
>Another study published just a year later suggested the Middle Eastern origin of Jewish paternal lineages.
>In 2000, M. Hammer, et al. conducted a study on 1371 men and definitively established that part of the paternal gene pool of Jewish communities in Europe, North Africa and Middle East came from a common Middle East ancestral population.
>They suggested that most Jewish communities in the Diaspora remained relatively isolated and endogamous compared to non-Jewish neighbor populations.

Bump this thread for leaf destruction alone
Bait thread but whatever. I think we act as a gap between good teams and shit/mediocre ones. The state of our NT right now is basically: eat shit against good teams (see: Belgium etc) and obliterate shit teams (Kazakhstan) and there's no inbetween. During wc tho they jumped well over their head and tied with some good teams (Spain, Chroatia).
I feel like you guys right now are pretty good. Your league is ranked higher than Portugal’s and you did good at the World Cup
Let's be real here. Most Ashkenazi in Israel are just Russian running away from USSR by pretending to be Jews.
Football pre 1980 is essentially irrelevant for assessing the quality of teams. Next you’ll tell me Hungary is a European Football power gap for reaching the final of the World Cup in 1938 and 1954.
The year Israel won the Asian Cup it was a 4 team tournament, they were the hosts and their opponents were India, Hong Kong and South Korea. I get it you are a proud Israeli patriot OP but beating those teams in the 60’s doesn’t mean shit
Love Likud
Love Bibi
Love Zionism
Hate secular liberal globalist American Jews
Hate Muslims
Simple as.
>Arabs have meltdown and cry because not only are they getting btfo by the Israelis in war but now their precious football teams are getting btfo as well
Most Arab countries didnt have NTs at the time and those that did all withdrew in qualification. Israel literally only qualified because they were the only tram from West Asia that didn't forfeit in qualification
> cucklivia
Oh please we have a fucking training camp based on the top of a mountain just to prepare for these kind of games bring it on
Why are you making a thread about Soap in this sports board
>they qualified for euros once
Wait what? When did that happen?
Because the Muslim countries refused to play after they had been beaten and didn’t want to be seen losing to Israel lol
I’m actually not sure if they did, but they might this year
Check their record, they were beating tons of Arab nations. This included North Africa as well at the time
why are you making posts about fictional events
Thats smart
What op is saying I think is that they were unstoppable during their time there and that was when they first started playing soccer. If they went back to Asia they would still destroy everyone, therefore, powergap. Hungary would be elite if they stayed consistent. Think of Uruguay, they haven’t won a World Cup since it first started but they are always a top team in SA and international soccer
Simple as
>they taught us about it in elementary once during a cultural significance unit
God I hate this country’s inability to quit kissing Jew ass. Nothing against Israel as a whole, but I don’t want to forcibly kiss their ass because *muh 6 Gorillion*
As of right now I'd say Jamaica/Costa Rica are the shit filters in concacaf.
>Your league is ranked higher than Portugal's
In what universe? Israeli league is in 30th place, right behind Luxembourg's amazing league.
As a real jew, dont you cringe a little bit when you read all these posts by jewish obsessed mutts? I think its a little embarrassing
they also talked about irish and italian immigrants as well, it was 1800's - 1900's european immigration
he was talking to russia bro
half the jewish people in the world live in the US
thats interesting, i thought costa rica was doing pretty good recently, what happened
Gib financial aid.
flaunting your parasitic overlords, eh?
Surely Israel are not as good as Japan, Australia, and South Korea.
This was an extremely big-brained way to disguise a /pol/-bait thread. Well done OP.
Thanks fellow burger how’s France
eat a cassoulet or a choucroute burger if you are on vacation
Pretty nice so far but I’ve only been here for two nights so far and done the standard tourist stuff (Eiffel tower, arc de triomphe, etc.). Headed to Normandy tomorrow. Parisian women are smoking, every time I have gone to Europe I am saddened at the state of how ugly american women are in comparison.
Will do friend
ikr, I went to spain once and the girls were so much more attractive. normandy sounds cool, have fun
You should come to Wales m8. Our women are like fucking gargoyles.
>fifa cucks out and shoves Israel to Europe(which makes more sense anyways)
This is what Schlomos actually believe.
You will never European you desert kikes.
Russia was infested with Jews during the World Wars. Particularly in the Bolshevik era.
They played Egypt twice and lost twice in the 1930a. Turkey 6 times and lost 4 times, they played Lebanon once and beat them once back in 1940 and they played Iran 5 times and lost 3.
That's the extent of what I could find of Israel playing Middle East nations.
>He thinks it's because of the Holohoax
Oh you sweet summer child.
The Feds are Jewish as fuck.
Israel are 92 on the fifa ranking, just above Trinidad and Tobago and below Luxembourg, I think that speaks for itself and the points raised in this thread.
Israel didn’t officially exist in the 30s lol they only got made after ww2
>fifa rankings
I bet you think Columbia is a top team as well
I’ll bump this thread for that interesting dubs sequence
I bet that’s how you think Colombia is spelled too
how can you betray me fellow McAmerican
I spell Brazil as Brãsíl like the real Brãsíliãns do.
this is accurate
>national food: Quebecois
>national anthem: written by Quebecois
>all unique culture: either chug or Quebecois
Speaking of continental crossovers, I sometimes wonder how well San Marino would do against non-European competition. I know they're dead last in FIFA rankings (for whatever that's worth), but I would think they would do all right against some of the weaker teams in Asia or Oceania or the Caribbean.
I bet they could beat Oceania (not including NZ) and any Caribbean nation
I feel like if you can beat them you can beat any North American or Central American team since they are a guaranteed WC qualifier
Bump for more posts like this
They played as the British mandate of Palestine team at the time.
>>Israel doesn’t really have a national team until 1948
A country that didn't exist before 1948 didn't have a national team until 1948?
Shocking.
Israel's national team will really improve once they open their borders.
>fifa cucks out and shoves Israel to Europe(which makes more sense anyways)
They are playing Japan in less than an hour if you’re interested.
Israel isn’t really good though. I doubt they would consistently beat Japan and South Korea or Iran for that matter (but we will never know in the latter case).
We wouldnt
Don’t you also get 38 billions in military aid?
user don't do that
So not Israel then, 11 random soldiers in a nation of like 10,000 people is not Israel national team
OPs point is that they had no soccer infrastructure or development or training facilities even and they became dominant to everyone around them in a few years. Whereas everyone around them had been playing for a while
The counter argument is they get way less aid than the US and other nations send to other nations
They have beaten Japan every match they have played with them, South Korea is a tough opponent but i would say Israel’s equal currently, Israel would crush Iran, who are to afraid to even play Israel bc they don’t want to risk losing
Bumping this thread to keep it alive
Bump for bumping this thread
Based AS FUCK
The virgin Australian vs the chad Israeli
Thoughts on this guy israel bros?
Looks like the bumps worked your thread will never die
I doubt this guy really said that, and if he did he’s retarded, considering Israeli people have those communal farms they set up when they turned Israel from a desert to a global power
Amen brother
Iceland is apparently super liberal, so no wonder they got a “rabbi” who thinks the same way
The Chad Israeli: Walks into your country, destroys your homogeneity and rules over you. BASED as FUCK.
why do they hate Iceland so much?
Be Chad Israeli:
>wake up, check newspaper, all Muslim nations have stopped killing each other to declare war on Israel.
>shrug, figure you needed a few days off from work anyways
>hop into 20 year old plane/tank, take it out for a spin in the desert, absolutely obliterate the rival military 10x the size as your nations population and backed by every major world power
>invade all their capital cities, technically take over their countries
>United states and UN get scared, threaten to kill your country with their global military if you don’t give Egypt and Jordan and Syria their countries back
>figure it’s no big deal, you’re bored anyways and should really get back to work, agree to globalist bullies
>rinse and repeat every decade or so
Israel is also the cut off for qualifying to EURO/WC since they always finish just below the line. Notoriously difficult to beat at home too, the crowds there are fucking crazy.
This is a really good point they always just miss out.
