Sports and the Dead Messiah

Tel Aviv's basketball team, the Maccabis, defeated the Spanish team Tau Vitoria in a Euroleague championship game in Moscow.

The appropriate reaction is clear. From The Jerusalem Post:

"Maccabi's victory is another sign that any second now Moshiach will come – just like the Rebbe taught us," Rabbi Yaakov Gloiberman, the personal rabbi of Maccabi Tel Aviv coach Pini Gershon, said Monday. "And God willing, Moshiach will be the rebbe himself," he added, referring to the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson...

"What else has to happen before Moshiach comes?" asked Gloiberman.
