    There was a controversy over would they boycott the game or not.

    The guy who manages women’s basketball in the coutnry said a boycott would get us fined €180,000, make us basketball pariahs, and accomplish nothing. I don’t particularly take a side on that but I put on the game for a minute and we were getting thumped.

      Getting thumped because of 4 injuries and 5 players refusing to play against Israel. A boycott would have achieved a lot more. The fine would be nothing compared to the attention it would have received.
