UEFA QUALIFIERS WORLD CUP

CROATIA 4-1 GREESE

MODERIC MAKES MAGIC


Greek keeper Orestis Karnezis' clumsy touch led to him conceding an early penalty, which Luka Modric converted.
Nikola Kalinic was unmarked to tap in a second but Sokratis Papastathopoulos' fine header gave Greece an away goal.
Ivan Perisic headed Croatia's third before half-time before Andrej Kramaric tapped in after a botched backpass.
Konstantinos Stafylidis' attempt to chest the ball back to his keeper summed up Greece's defensive display as Sime Vrsaljko stole in to square, giving Kramaric an empty net.


MY OPINION

Grease are now going to have to try and not concede and score 3 goals at home but this will lead to a Croatia break time after time and I feel that this will lead Grease to having a lot of the ball but being afraid to push forward.
NI 0-1 SWITZERLAND

RODRIGUEZ GETS LUCKY PENALTY



 Ricardo Rodriguez scored with a penalty just before the hour mark after Corry Evans was deemed to have handled inside the area.
Though that decision was harsh as the ball clearly struck the defender's shoulder, the visitors were dominant throughout and might have won by a greater margin had they converted a series of other chances.


MY OPINION
The Swiss penalty was not a penalty but how could it be seen as a penalty I am not sure but when the referee had to make the same sort of decision for Northern Ireland he could not see it. Incidents like this do make you ask why there has not been video technology being introduced. Josh Magneus played a solid game but had few chances.
