They are adamant that the Republic of Ireland as a team, as an FA, as a country are anti-Semitic and they will make that point.
So I think it's going to be very tense already today.
We have a story up today saying from one of the Israeli media outlets, they didn't name the player, but they quoted a player saying they've already had a conversation with the Israeli squad and they won't swap shirts with the Irish player.
So taking the initiative from that, it's still an argument.
Will the Irish players shake hands?
Will they stand for the anthem?
How will they do with all those normally formalities?
This is going to be tricky, but I expect Israel to come out.
And again, I'm trying to pick my words here.
You know, talking about fighting or fighting talk is inappropriate given what's going on.
But I think they will not back off.
They will not be having the, you know, on olive branch and saying, let's have a peaceful game here.
They will stand their ground because they feel that they have been completely misunderstood, misrepresented.
The word genocide really resonates in Israel.
They feel it has been attached to them, but Israel...
international bodies have deemed that they have committed the idea forces have committed genocide Israel firmly reject that they think it has defense at their homeland and I think you will see I don't think Israeli players will come out and comment before the game I think after they will get the Austria game out of the way then I think you will see the barrage of comments from Israeli players media and the manager I think the fact that he's Israeli as well I think sometimes the former manager
mightn't be as exercised or he mightn't be as bothered that they've had fire managers before but I think he will come out with an awful lot to say so I think it's quite weak in terms of once we get these games Ireland away to Kosovo and Israel away to Austria out of the way that's when I think the verbal battles will start because they won't be lying down
It's hard to know.
I think the stadium will play a part in that.
I mean, we looked at the stadium depression.
