Heimir Hallgrimsson wants Ireland to flip mentality and take fight to oppositionBy Damian Spellman, PAHeimir Hallgrimsson has joked he may ask Fifa if Ireland can play the second half of matches first after a challenging Nations League double-header. The Icelander, who will now turn his attention to next month’s fixtures against Finland and England, admitted after the 2-0 defeat in Athens that his side only seemed to start playing as it could when they had nothing to lose. “We need to fight to get back in the game. I said, maybe as a joke, we should call Fifa and start playing the second half first, and the first half second. Once we have spells in game like now, I think we grow much when we show them the good things.
