The Israeli team didn’t make it to the Soccer World Cup. My friend, Saul, explains, “We’re just not good enough.” “But what is your national sport then?” I ask (secretly hoping to learn about an ancient sport steeped in tradition and passed along from fathers to sons for the past 6 000 odd years). But his answer dashes that hope. “High-tech. Israel’s national sport is high-tech.” I think about that for a moment. “That kind of sucks then, doesn’t it? There is no High-tech Word Cup for you guys to win.” Saul sighs in exasperation, “If there was a High-tech Word Cup, Israel would probably be the only country making it through the qualifying matches.”
