Ireland coach Heimir Hallgrimsson has called on UEFA to keep Ireland and Israel apart in future competitions after their contentious Nations League games. The fixtures, played at neutral venues behind closed doors, were marred by protests, boycott requests, and clashes between the two delegations. Hallgrimsson cited strong Irish support for Palestine and said he 'would not wish' another country to endure a similar two weeks against Israel. UEFA is investigating an alleged spitting incident during the second match.
