Both goals were scored in that half Over lunch with the team, the girls were in surprisingly good spirits. The game seemed so far away from what they had just gone through on the field. Even Jodi Fox, the goalie who got stepped on, prompting the red card for her arguing teammate, felt fine despite the spike marks. Wednesday turned ugly as well, but for a whole other rea- son: more rain. Some Maccabi lessons for 1998.

MoNdAys: 8:15 pm Torah Portion of the Week 10:00 players, their sport doesn't get rained out. The girls beat Pittsburgh again, 5-0 this time in an early morning downpour. The early lead let coach Larry Harwin stick his goalkeeper in the field, and put backup Stacey Raf in goal. Raf did something unseen in soc- cer, except when goal scoring. She danced. After sprawling to smother a shot destined for the netting in- side the far post, she booted the ball upfield and celebrated. While I missed the closing cer- emonies, I was told the boys soc- cer teams from Detroit and North Jersey, the team that topped De- troit for the gold, showed real class and got along great despite a pair of hard-fought games dur- ing the week. It only goes to show that if only a fraction of the Detroit delega- tion (myself included) can have that much fun in a distant city, imagine what can happen when the whole delegation — let alone much of the county and some in- ternational guests — come to De- troit for the JCC North American Maccabi Games next year. A Subscription to THE JEWISH NEWS 354-6620 srael's World Cup soccer as- pirations came to a brave but disappointing end in the Aug. 21 European Group 5 clash against Bulgaria in Sofia's Lev- ski Stadium. The Israelis ended 1-0 losers in a match decided by a 68th- minute goal by Bulgarian sub- stitute Lyuboslav Penev in front of a fiercely partisan crowd of 25,000. Coach Shlomo Scharf's Is- raelis needed a vic- tory to retain any hope of progress- ing into next year's finals in France. The win leap- frogged the Bul- garians over the Israelis and Rus- sia. The Bulgari- ans now head the group with 15 points, ahead of Russia who re- main at 14 points and the Israelis who end their eight-match group play in third posi- tion with 13 points. The Bulgarians will play Russia at home and away in the two re- maining qualifying matches that will decide the outcome of the group. Scharfs game plan of playing Ran Ben-Shimon as a sweeper succeeded in a tightly-fought, goalless first half. As expected, the offense was largely in favor of the host team, which had the ball 80 percent of the time. But the Bulgarians were restricted to outside shots, despite the srael's Felix Halfon fights with Bulgarian Hristo Stoichkov.
