AUSTRALIA 35-34 SCOTLAND - JOE RIDGE AT TWICKENHAM: Bernard Foley broke Scottish hearts with a penalty in the dying moments here at Twickenham to send Australia through to a semi-final against Argentina after what was quite possibly the greatest World Cup match ever. Scotland thought they had done it when Mark Bennett's intercept-try put them ahead with just minutes left but it was not to be for this brilliant Scotland side Vern Cotter has harnessed. But my goodness can their nation be proud. The penalty itself, for accidental offside (pictured above, top left), was harsh but correct by the laws of the game. As was this defeat.
United switch is not for discussion! Muller on Van Gaal, too many foreigners in England... and the chances of a move
ROB DRAPER IN MUNICH - THE BIG INTERVIEW: Thomas Muller believes England are struggling at major tournaments because of the amount of foreigners in the Premier League. The fact that he was given his chance by current Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal at a major club perhaps represents the key difference between the German and English systems in recent years.
'Disgraceful': Scotland legend Hastings blasts Joubert as referee sprints off the field immediately after awarding controversial decision that saw Australia reach semi-final
South African referee Craig Joubert had to run straight off the field at the end of Scotland's controversial defeat to Australia. With Scotland leading by two points, and just seconds left on the clock, Joubert awarded a penalty to the Wallabies, when a Scotland player was deemed to have played the ball after being in front from a knock-on.
'Waiting outside Twickenham for Jouter': Referee cops flak as JK Rowling leads Twitter support for beaten Scotland

Joy of six (or FOUR if you're Wijnaldum): Dutch star hits incredible haul to get Toon smiling again in emphatic win over Norwich
NEWCASTLE 6-2 NORWICH - IAN LADYMAN AT ST JAMES' PARK: The announcement, when it came, was delivered with the same monotone as the previous five. 'Newcastle's sixth goal, scored by Gini Wijnaldum.' Maybe the man with the microphone couldn't quite believe it either. Just a fortnight after their dreadful season had reached a low point with a 6-1 defeat at Manchester City, Steve McClaren's Newcastle had half a dozen goals of their own. Just as importantly, they had their first win of their season in the Barclays Premier League and Sam Allardyce will have watched on TV with interest. His Sunderland team host their neighbours next weekend.
Wijnaldum recovers from Holland's Euro hangover to provide perfect tonic for McClaren's Toon

Ireland 20-43 Argentina: Schmidt's men suffer defeat in Cardiff as quarter-final comeback falls short against Pumas
MATT LAWTON AT THE MILLENNIUM STADIUM: In the end the absence of the players around whom Joe Schmidt has built this Ireland team proved too much. In the end, as the Irish reflected on yet another missed opportunity, yet another World Cup quarter-final defeat, the understudies were not quite up to the task.

Former Real Sociedad star Antoine Griezmann piled the pressure on Moyes with the only goal of the game after just nine minutes. The France international went on a solo run down the middle of the pitch, leaving three defenders in their tracks before lobbing onrushing goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli.

Sterling cashes in with first hat-trick as City ease past Bournemouth in rout
MANCHESTER CITY 5-1 BOURNEMOUTH - JOE BERNSTEIN AT THE ETIHAD STADIUM: Two weeks is a long time in football.

Rooney on the goals trail again as United skipper moves level with Cole on all-time Premier League top scorers list
EVERTON 0-3 MANCHESTER UNITED - IAN LADYMAN AT GOODISON PARK: For Manchester United the last two weeks must have seemed like an awfully long time. Defeat at Arsenal last time out in the Barclays Premier League had served to undermine talk of a genuine title challenge and, with the international break coming when it did, Louis van Gaal and his players had an awful long time to ruminate on it. This, then, was the perfect way to return to domestic activity.

Matt Tubbs scored the only goal of the game for Portsmouth, his sixth of the season, before the half time changes were made.

Wonder of Wenger: Arsenal are a thrilling mix of brilliant and brittle as Sanchez, Giroud and Ramsey send Gunners second
WATFORD 0-3 ARSENAL - RIATH AL-SAMARRAI AT VICARAGE ROAD: What a glorious, peculiar mess from Arsenal, that club with a personality split somewhere between brilliance and desires to self sabotage. This was another of those days where Arsene Wenger's side simply could not decide if they were fantastically gifted or plain daft. As ever they settled on a compromise, coughing up so many mistakes in the first half that they should have trailed, but recovering with three goals from Alexis Sanchez, Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey in the second.

NIGEL CLOUGH : 'Did I like having a public father? No, I just wanted to be normal'

'He wasn't there an awful lot,' says Nigel. 'All his success at Nottingham Forest in the late Seventies was a bit of a whirlwind for us as a family as well. I think that's why my mum kept away from it and said: "This is our family life here and that has to continue as normally as possible for us". Which it did.'
Reviled by his bitter rival Mourinho and chastised by his own supporters, as Wenger eyes first Premier League title since 2004...
IAN LADYMAN: The best team in the Barclays Premier League in the current calendar year is Arsenal. Their 61-point tally from 27 games is four more than Manchester City, 11 more than Manchester United and 12 more than ailing Chelsea. Against this background, however, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger perhaps remains under greater scrutiny than any other. Only on Thursday a shareholder at Arsenal's annual meeting described Wenger's recent efforts in the Champions League as embarrassing.
