I also have a soft spot for the Peace Team, a mixed Israeli-Palestinian side, initiated by Israeli NGO and the Peres Center for Peace (peres-center.org), in cooperation with Palestinian NGO and the Al-Quds Association for Democracy and Dialogue - Football promotes peace for rivals.

Heard Melbourne are looking very closely at these guys.

Japan's tallest player is 183cm! And we thought White was a short ruckmen

Kiwi's will be hard to beat. Have had 3 or 4 players at Victorian and Queensland clubs this year who are developing nicely.

My son is actually playing in a practice match against the ' Peace Team ' this week .

The international teams are a fair way off the pace, Mafra beat the Kiwi's in a tune up game but around 10 goals or so last month.

Still will be a great experience for the boy, I recommend anyone who can get down and have a look at the international teams get along.

Pretty small sides. Make our Under18s look big!

Hi Jack... I have a soft spot for the Peace team too. A mate's cousin is here from Isreal at the moment and playing in the team.

The whole team really is an amazing concept. When he gets back to Isreal he'll be going straight to the army, and probably fighting against his team mates.

The whole team really is an amazing concept.

I completely agree, I thought it was brilliant when I first heard about it.
