You may remember, not so very long ago, when the KNVB Cup match between Ajax and Alkmaar had to
be abandoned after just 38 minutes when Alkmaar 'keeper Esteban Alvarado was red-carded (it was
later rescinded) for knocking a drunken pitch-invader on his arse and then belting the living

and tossed it across the field to Victor Moses. Moses stopped its flight with his chest and let it
fall to his feet. He moved forwards with the ball, lifted his head and sent the ball arcing across
the field at knee height.

I'm only with Bill partially on this one. The reality is that Don Garber *was* out in front of

In the end, a draw was probably the deserved result. But our boys registered a trademark goal
covered with the fingerprints of no less than Lahm, Müller, Özil, and Klose himself. Watch the
goal and Rossi's late equalizer below.
More of my thoughts will come later when I've had a bit [read more]
