This season was definitely not the best year of Israeli soccer from the soccer quality aspect but it was a very intense year as the relegators (at list one of them) and the champions were pronounced only in the last round. It was the year of Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Tel Aviv and another 14 teams which most of them had only the motive of not relegating to the second league. Hapoel Tel Aviv made her mark in this season as the team that gave Beitar a big fight until the 90th minute and even after she scored about 20 goals in the first half of the season (15 games) she scored probably over 30 in the second half of the year andmade a very good improvement under Eli Cohen the manager. Beitar was the best in the sum but only because of her good games in the beginning of the year she had the best foreigners in the league (Pisont , Shaloy and Tartiac) and the best midfielders in the league (Pisont , Abuksis , Alon Harazi and Talesnikov). One of this season's biggest stories is Macabi Tel Aviv the israeli soccer empire on her way down. After changing most of her players this year she had intentions of championship but then the disappointments began Rodrigo Goldberg the most expensive player in soccer was a failure as he scored about 5 goals in all the season Ofer Levi the talented defender was a disgrace to the factory of young players in Bney Yehuda and Moshe Glam was... well he was Moshe Glam bad as he always was but not only the new players were bad Nir Klinger and Avi Nimni (when he played in Macabi) would want to forget this year either. 
Another big story this year was the relegation of Hapoel Bear Sheva the empire from the south religated of the first league as her fans cry and mourn over the team but I can bet that a team of such a city as Bear Sheva will not stay for long in the second league as she will always have it's fans and youth team and my guess is that we will see her soon and maybe even next year in the first league. 
Another teams that are worth while mentioning are Hapoel Haifa that made a big progress this year Hapoel Ashkelon that was the fastest disappearing team in the league and Macabi Haifa that made another bad year even if she will win the cup. Lets hope for better soccer next year and pray that Beitar will make it to the champions league.

Goldberg: Disappointed
