On Thursday at dusk I’ll be taking my nephew to see Maccabi for the second time in his life, but it’s not just any match. The State Cup Final in the Capital against our little city rivals from the Shechuna who do have some hope.
The goal – To keep the hegemony at Kiryat Shalom, the smells and the sounds of the green grocers in the market are already yelling with all of their force from their throats. Spices, ripened vegetables and the strong end of the season smell.
When you tell me about a match against Bnei Yehuda, I go back to one of the great Maccabi seasons where Jordi, Garcia and Mitch, Zahavi and Prica brought us back to the grand stage. The last attack, as the newspapers were already getting their headlines ready to roll said that the clubs ended in a 2:2 draw. But then came the ballistic missile that wouldn’t put to shame the Arrow. Moshiko Lugassi lifted Bloomfield to the heights of heights. Over the past few years, Maccabi has won titles, left their home and now the goal is to add another piece of hardware to the trophy cabinet.
Those fans who will say don’t yell YES before you score – It’s true, but Maccabism is to be the best, the biggest and the strongest. The mission is to win at every stadium and every season, here it is, let Yeini lift the Cup.
Wear yellow, hang the scarf out of the window so everyone on Route 1 will know that Maccabi is coming, coming to shake up Teddy.
Just like the song says:
“After Teddy Jerusalem faded quickly
Day by day Tel Aviv began to gleam
We’ll breathe some mountain air as clear as wine
Yalla Maccabi
The main thing is to be happy
Jerusalem, here I come
I came to sweat – Here I come
Because Maccabi you’re the only one, I swear.”
After the President said goodbye to Trump with his golden hair who evacuated the city and gave it to the Yellow & Blue who will burst through the city walls, will accompany the official car to the VIP stand, this is the time for the fans to give it their all, all the way to the final seconds, Maccabi Yalla let’s go to war,
Just bring home the Cup!
