Israel FA criticizes Republic of Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson

The Israel Football Association criticized Republic of Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson over comments he made the previous week, according to BBC Sport.

The association used strongly worded language in its response, accusing Hallgrimsson of ignorance, hypocrisy and stupidity. Those descriptions are the Israel FA’s characterization and are not independently adopted here.

The supplied item does not reproduce Hallgrimsson’s original remarks or provide his response to the association. The dispute is therefore presented only to the extent described in the source summary.
