With leadership like this, it's no wonder Israel failed to qualify for the Euro 2012.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday sprained his ankle while participating in a joint Arab-Jewish soccer game for children at Jerusalem's Kraft Stadium.
The Likud party canceled its faction meeting in light of the injury.
Netanyahu joined the game, staged for Peter Greenberg's show "The Royal Tour," but fell after five minutes following a failed swipe at the soccer ball.
After falling, his security guards drove up to him, helped him inside the vehicle, and left the scene.
