Crowds were thin and security was heavy at the Stade de France for Les Bleus' Nations League game against Israel on Thursday after violence in Amsterdam last week around a Europa League match involving Maccabi Tel Aviv. Some 4,000 law enforcement officers were deployed in and around the ground and on public transport, with elite forces gearing up outside the stadium three hours ahead of the match. Before kickoff, some in the crowd booed and whistled during the playing of the Israeli national anthem, which was then turned up on loudspeakers.
