Goal Alexis Sanchez!

Struck it past the keeper after getting the ball off a scramble.

I thought Löw already showed everyone why Özil is hopeless on the wing. He won’t really defend, make runs behind the fullback and crossing isn't his strong point. He was terrible for most of the WC there.

Thank goodness for Alexis.

Agree. Why is he in the wing yet again? He's being wasted and should move in the Center. Put Campbell in the wing and bring Ozil as the attacking Central Mid.

We're still lucky. That Debuchy tackle should have been a penalty.

Yeah, he's a peripheral option there as opposed to the primary one.

Some angles make it look like it was a penalty,  some don't. I really don't know. Oh, well.  :)

The Wilshire challenge was a good call. It seemed like he didnt even touch the player at all and just fell.

We got away with Debuchy though. Challenged way late, no ball on the attacking player. That should have been a penalty, and a second yellow for Mathieu, and we got bailed out.

Now Debuchy has been red carded. Not good.

Arsenal prevails!

Bad officiating throughout, with Arsenal probably reaping the benefits. Chances after chances missed by Demba Ba, bad defending almost got them done.

But a win is a win. See you in the Group Stage.

Entertaining game, except for the officiating.  Looked like the NBA out there.

Oh yeah. it was bad for both sides. Arsenal just probably got the better side of the coin.

Not a game between two big teams but the story of the round has to be Ludogorets playing Steaua Bucharest. Ludogorets' goalkeeper was sent off just before the penalty shoot out. Their central defender was forced to be goalkeeper for the penalties. Scores the first one that he took and saved two more to take his team through.

Now that is footballing history.

Cant believe I missed that... Hope there's highlights of it, will definitely want to see it.

I heard about this on the radio this morning.. I 100% agree ... Footballing history.

I watched Ath Bilbao vs Napoli..... Another piece of history.. Not the game itself but the fact that Athletic can compete is such a high level with a Basque only players
The new San Mames is A M A Z I N G !!!!
I think that it`s not as scary as the old one was though.... Atl Bilbao deserved to qualify. Napoli didn`t do much and happened to score first.

It's odd not seeing Man-U in this!
