Spitting Claim Sours Ireland's Tense Draw With Israel
Republic of Ireland boss Heimir Hallgrimsson accused Israel of trying to intimidate his players during Sunday's bad-tempered 1-1 Nations League draw, played behind closed doors in Serbia. The sides clashed at half-time, and the Irish Times reported that Ireland's head of athletic performance Damien Doyle alleged an Israel player spat at him. Israel coach Ran Ben-Shimon insisted he had seen nothing. Hallgrimsson expects a review.
