Jon,
Thanks for posting the video. At the time I was way too concentrated on our first match to actually listen and remember what he said. It was nice to watch it again and actually listen to him this time.

On a side note, I just wanted to point out that at the time of the regional last year, Shimon Peres was not yet the president (although he was a prominent politician and has been prime minister twice). I think that this year the press coverage (especially from major newspapers and news channels) and the general interest in the competition will be much greater now that he is the president and will be attending the regional.
