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

Löw should see now that Kroos is the better option than Özil at the OM position. Özil is a liability in the defense and even offensively Kroos has the edge.

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

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

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

Guardiola is wearing a purple tie, a black sweater, a grey suit jacket, and a blue coat.

Just sayin. :D

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.

I think Pep just does odd things to look like a genius at this point.

By the way here are some stats from this game for Kroos:
Passes 136
Pass success rate 97%
Pass success rate in opponent half 94,8%
Long passes 21
Short passes 115
Interceptions 3

More ball contacts in the second half than the whole Arsenal team.
