David Sneyd reports from Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium, Piraeus HEIMIR HALLGRÍMSSON WAS distinctly unimpressed with the two goals the Republic of Ireland conceded in their 2-0 defeat to Greece.
“Honestly, we were not happy with the first half. Before the game, we knew it was going to be a tough match with all that was going around, the wave that is here, and we knew that there would be a hostile atmosphere and a good crowd behind the Greeks. Advertisement “I was proud of the guys second half, how they played, how they pressed, won the ball high up, got it in dangerous positions and had some chances, so proud of that, and we stayed in the game until the 87th minute or something.
“I have a goalkeeper coach who always says the same thing: football is a team sport until a goalkeeper makes a mistake, then it’s no longer a team sport. It is what it is. You never know, but we were really in the game, we were getting the ball in dangerous positions at this moment.
