FA CUP LAST 16 PORTSMOUTH O-2 ARSENAL SOKRATES GOT SKILLS Arsenal were fortunate to go into the break a goal up, and it came from an unlikely source as Sokratis controlled a volley into the bottom corner from Reiss Nelson's dangerous cross Nelson created the second shortly after the break, taking on his man on the right before delivering for Nketiah to bundle home from close range https://www.skysports.com/football/portsmth-vs-arsenal/report/423680 MY OPINION Arsenal have not had the best of seasons so far so this might be their only way into Europe. A weakened team can do a go0od job here as for Portsmouth they can now concentrate on whether or not they get promoted CHELSEA 2-0 LIVERPOOL WILLIAM ADDS TO ANFIELD WOES Mere seconds after making a splendid double-save, one of them from a Willian drive from distance, Adrian has a shocker. Trying to play the ball out from the back, Fabinho loses the ball, gifting Willian a shooting opportunity from about 2...
BIG WIN KEEPS IRELAND IN Ireland kept alive their hopes of reaching the T20 World Cup as they earned a dominant eight-wicket win over Jersey in the Qualifier in Abu Dhabi. Mark Adair (3-10) was the pick of the bowlers, dismissing Harrison Carlyon and Jonty Jenner for ducks, as Jersey could only post 105 in their 20 overs. Fellow seamer David Delany took 2-12 as Ben Stevens top scored with 25. Paul Stirling's unbeaten 58 and Andrew Balbirnie's 33 helped the Irish easily reach their target in 14 overs.

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. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41895994 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.
