like 90% sure this is the reason why Ancelotti kept Di Maria instead of Ozil.

come on , kroos was non existent before the red except for 2 moments. Ozil was playing amazing. Can't make conclusions off one instant.

Re: 2013
Gotze is a great header on the ball for such a small(compared to the defenders) guy.

missed the first half, what happened to Szczesny?
Fouled Robben, got sent off.

As a keeper myself, I don't like that kind of call.

It is not a conclusion of one instant. Don't get me wrong, I like Özil and rate him quite highly. But he does not play defense (like many offensive players e.g. Messi and Ronaldo) and Kroos is equally good in the offensive game. On the other hand you can play Kroos as a DM if you like so.

Live, I thought so, but I thought the replay made it look like a dive. Hardly anything in it.
