Shaaalom Guy,
I think it’s a good time to review soccer words in Hebrew. I am speaking both timing and experience. I learned about soccer living in France for an academic year of Sep. 68-June 69. I have continued to play since. I am in the Albany (NY) area and we have a 40plus league with 16 teams. We are now all old and slow but continue to stay on the pitch. I plan to be in Israel soon and hope to find a league of older players up north.
In my younger days at 40 ish I had an indoor soccer team called the Altakickers (not to be confused with Alta kocker) and we were relatively old and all Jewish, thus the name. Also the basis of my email address.
So can we learn to play soccer in Hebrew?
L’hitraot,
Dan (from Albany)
