lol....

I suppose that if Palestinia would manage to qualify for 2006, the terms for...

Explosive offense

Shooting at the goalie

Neutralizing the opponent's striker

Killer shot

Take over the mid-field

... would take completely different meaning...

PARTICULARLY... if, like other fledgling soccer nations, they hire a FOREIGN coach...

No doubt the coach will need a VERY GOOD translator, very knowledgeable of

1. both languages
2. military terms
3. terrorist slang
4. incredible imagination to come up with alternative terms to get them to understand the regular soccer terminology
5. a PhD in baby sitting to control 22 soccer madmen, whose level of excitment should be closely watched.

all of the above, in fun, of course. In reality, I would love to see the Palestinians come to their senses and make a serious deal for peace... however so long that damned terrorist Aarafat is in power... I think peace in the middle east has the same chance as Atlantis fielding a soccer team in 2006
