Heimir Hallgrímsson struggled to find the words to sum up Ireland's Nations League thumping against England.
Heimir Hallgrímsson says his players lost their heads during six minutes of madness - as he attempted to wrap his head around the second-half collapse at Wembley last night.
“You can’t always explain things like this, it just happens. It’s a slap in the face and you can’t come back from it.” “Look, excuses when you lose 5-0 are kind of pathetic. To be excusing or talking about positives… it’s embarrassing to lose 5-0.” “I thought it was a penalty for sure,” said the Icelander. “We asked… I don’t remember what the referee said, why he didn’t give it, but of course that would have changed the momentum in the game.
