Alexis so cool.

Higgy just embarrassing. Don't think Benegas would have cross the line with or without Bravo getting in the way.

FA Cup... Copa America.. lets keep this going Alexi

Chuffed for Sanchez. Absolutely worked his bollocks off this year. Deserved a moment like that to cap off a brilliant season.

RC8, where you at man? Congrats!

Alright, Sanchez needs some rest now.

Or does he?

I fucking love Alexis. He embodies everything football is about for me. Talents don't come much better than that. He's got some absolutely stellar years ahead of him.

Our boys will probably report for pre-season only to find Alexis already on the training field. He will probably demand Wenger arranges another friendly before the 15th, that's too long a wait.

He is the consummate professional.
He is Arsenal man!
Bring that sparkly magic dust to North London!

I agree. He lacks size to play center forward for us but I think his heart makes up for it. Let's just give him a run up front next season with Wilshere on one side and Chamberlain / new wide forward on the other. 

Martino making the same mistakes with Argentina that he did with Barcelona.

Alexis SΓ nchez. :drool:

Higuain should be put on suicide watch. WC final, Copa America final, EL semi vs Dnipro and the decisive penalty for 3rd place in Italy vs Lazio - all in twelve months, getting close to Robben levels of bottling.

Haha...I didn't think it was possible for Rojo to look anymore like a twelve year old boy than he already does...and then he started crying! πŸ˜†

I thought Higuain should have scored from Lavezzi's, admittedly shit, cross as well. He's just so slow and unathletic, can't believe so many Arsenal fans want him here.

Glad the better team won, and very happy for our boys Alexis and Arturo.

That penalty for Lazio was over the cross bar as well, wasn't it? That's just embarrassing from a striker.

Also why wasn't Tevez playing? Martino is terrible.

If anyone wants to watch Sanchez's penalty on loop πŸ˜ƒ

That was no panenka, that was just a blatant troll down the middle.

Sanchez is the real deal isn't he? Potentially one of top 5 players in world football. Not because of his ability, just the sheer balls to take the last penalty like that, at home, to win your country's first major int. trophy. Ever.

higuain is such a loser. dont want him anywhere near our club

Wtf there's another Copa America next year - will someone give Sanchez a summer off ffs.

I said a while back that I think he's more talented than Suarez, and I still think that's the case. Wenger will make him unplayable.

If we end up in a penalty shootout in the CL next season, we'll definitely win it.

It's unreal, during the match I was looking at wikipedia trying to work out how often the copa America is played. It isn't like a normal tournament where it's every X number of years. If you look at the dates of previous tournaments there is no system whatsoever, it's complete chaos πŸ˜† They seem to organize it whenever they feel like it.

I'm certain he hasn't even reached his peak yet. Need to fill him up with horse tranq for a few days, can see him trying to swim back home tomorrow in the morning otherwise.

Not just with the years, but also with the teams. Japan has participated before for some reason, and they asked Spain (who declined) to join in the 2011 tournament. πŸ˜†

This is why Wenger is so peeved about it, as well as the new season schedule starting earlier.

They always invite two teams to make up numbers. There are only twelve sovereign countries in South America and Guyana and Suriname aren't part of CONMEBOL.

Yeah, and Jamaica this year. It all seems a bit nuts πŸ˜†

Class from Sanchez and obviously wasn't affected by missing against Brazil in the shootout in the World Cup. Also missed the one he took for us didn't he?

It will be interesting to see how the winning penalty will affect Sanchez with us this season.. I am hoping its the polar opposite than Gervinho's AFCON's final penalty miss that destroyed him with us.

Hope he was carded for the shirtless celebration. That shit shouldn't fly. Grrr..

Thanks!!!

When Alexis' penalty went in, I cried from football for the first time in 17 years. 

Keeping this cup home meant so much to us, and to have Alexis finish it off of all people (former Colo-Colo and current Arsenal player) just made it so ridiculously sweet for me. This done my decade.

No Gervinho actually refused to take a penalty the bottler.

Alexis should be installed as our 1st choice PK taker. Would help his stats.

Goddam alexis. All he does is win. All arsenal will do is win as long as we have him. What a man
