Grant says Israel will stop at nothing

ISRAEL coach Avraham Grant has warned Republic of Ireland boss Brian Kerr he will stop at nothing to ensure his nation’s World Cup dream is not extinguished.

The Israelis are the dark horse of Group Four after posting an unbeaten six-game start to their campaign which sees them lie second on goal difference to France.

Grant’s side stunned Ireland when the teams last met towards the end of March in Tel Aviv, with Abas Suan scoring an injury-time equaliser to cancel out a lead the Republic had held since the fourth minute.
