Israel's captain, Manor Solomon, said he would be banned for sharing his true thoughts about the Ireland team after their Nations League match. He said Ireland's players said "nonsense" during the game and that his country is "10 times better" than theirs. The Ireland team bowed their heads during Israel's national anthem and refused pre-match handshakes. Ireland then defeated Israel 3-0.
