Republic of Ireland forward Jonathan Walters says they will take scrappy 1-0 wins all the way, if it means qualification for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The Republic have been placed in a tricky qualification group, which also includes Wales, Austria and Serbia.But the Republic are level with those three countries in Group D on four points from two games, after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Georgia in Dublin on Thursday, in which they were second-best at times. But Walters reflected: We have won, thats the main thing.It doesnt matter how we performed. If it was a knock-out tournament, wed be through to the next round.But theres lost of twists and turns, we knew that from the last group [from which they qualified for Euro 2016]. We beat Germany at home when we had been written off early in the group and Im sure there will be lots of twists and turns between now and the end of this group.There are some good teams in there and we want to be up there facing the likes of Austria and Wales. We want to be in with a shout of qualifying.We dont look too far ahead. If you take your eye off one team - the likes of Moldova - it can be a tricky game.The Irish are in Chisinau to play the Moldovans on Sunday and Walters added: Lets hope we are sitting here on Sunday with seven [points].We always knew it was going to be a tight group. These are the games that you need to win and we will deal with the other ones when they come along.If we are sitting here and we play terribly all the way through and get 1-0 results, everyone is going to be happy. We got the result, that was the main thing.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the Japan Grand Prix on Sky Sports.

The three-time All-Star has agreed to a one-year contract with the Rakuten Golden Eagles of Japans Pacific League. "They made it very apparent right from the start they were quite interested in Kevin being there," agent Joe Bick said Friday. A 34-year-old first baseman and third baseman, Youkilis will have a $4 million base salary and can earn $1 million in bonuses -- including some based on walks, a provision not allowed in major league contracts. After nine seasons with the Boston Red Sox, Youkilis signed a $12 million, one-year deal with the New York Yankees. But his back started to bother him in mid-April, and an epidural injection didnt improve a lumbar spine sprain. Sidelined from April 27 to May 31, he went back on the DL on June 13, had surgery a week later to repair a herniated disk and didnt return.dddddddddddd Youkilis hit just .219 with two homers and eight RBIs over 28 games and 105 at-bats. "Theres no reason to believe hes anything less than 100 per cent," Bick said. "Workouts are going normally." Youkilis has a .281 average in 10 big league seasons with 150 homers and 618 RBIs, and he earned a World Series ring with the 2007 Red Sox. At Rakuten, Youkilis may become teammates with star pitcher Masahiro Tanaka, who went 24-0 last season, While Tanaka wants to join the major leagues, Rakuten is reluctant to make him available in the new posting season, and the 25-year-old right-hander cant leave as a free agent until after the 2015 season. "We were talking with eight or nine other clubs over here," Bick said. "In the final analysis, he said the right thing for my family and me is to go do this. It will be a wonderful life experience."
