Israel secured its spot in the Euro semifinals after beating hosts Georgia in a 4-3 penalty kick victory on Saturday. It will now face England on Wednesday.

By qualifying for next summer's Olympic Games, which Israel hasn't done since the Montreal 1976 Olympics, Israeli soccer players continue their triumphant summer. Earlier in June, the national U-20 team made history by winning third place at the FIFA World Cup in Argentina.
