avi's adventures

Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the horror of the shade; And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find me, unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. William Ernest Henley.

Check out the above link...a Ghanan soccer player at World Cup in Germany whips out an ISRAELI FLAG after a teammate scores a goal! The Ghanan player, John Pentsil, plays for Hapoel Tel Aviv and obviously has great pride in his team and the nation where he plays. I got chills when I first saw this pic....absolutely amazing!

Lesson #2......

Once again, Germans protested Iran at the World Cup today. Check out the link for a great pic equating Ahmedinejad to Hitler.

Just goes to show all the life lessons sports has to teach us. Good luck to the Oilers in game 7 monday night...my money's on Pisani, an Edmonton native, scoring the winning goal. Get ready to celebrate!!!
