Maccbiah Soccer: British women keep their cool to defeat fiery Brazil in Haifa

The British women's soccer team defeated Brazil 1-0 in a must win game on Wednesday that kept it in the running for a medal winning position. The game was hotly contested with two of Brazil's players sent off at the Ketzef Stadium in Haifa.
