Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang believes the future is bright for Arsenal heading into next season.
Arsene Wenger ended his 22-year reign in charge of the Gunners with a 1-0 win over Huddersfield on Sunday, with Aubameyang scoring the winner.
The focus now shifts to appointing Wenger's successor and Arsenal's £56m record signing believes the new manager will have plenty of talent at his disposal.
When asked if he was excited about next season, the Gabon international forward said: "Yes, of course.

"In the last few weeks, we have played well. We have a lot of young players and for sure it's good for the (new) manager.
"It looks good for the future and I'm sure next season is going to be a good one for us."
The former Borussia Dortmund scored his tenth Premier League goal in just his 12th appearance, which is quicker than any other Arsenal player, and he was happy to be able to send Wenger out on a high.
"It was important for us because it was the last game for the boss," he said. "It was important we won this game for him.

"We gave him a big round of applause. We had talked a lot already and we wrote on a book for him.
"It was special I scored the goal and I'm very happy. It's also our first three points (on the road) this year."
Aubameyang was brought to the club by Wenger but spent less than four months working under the 68-year-old.
"This is the life," he said, when asked if he was surprised by Wenger's departure. "This is football and sometimes you never know. I was happy to play for him.
"I learned a lot. It was not a lot of time to work with him, but I learned a lot and I'm happy to be here."

Lucky Japan qualify for knockout stages through Fifa's fair play rules despite losing 1-0 to Poland

Source:  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-cup/2018/06/28/japan-vs-poland-world-cup-2018-live-score-latest-updates/ Fair play sent Japan through to the next round Akira Nishino is a lucky man indeed. Unconvincing, barmy and lucky. Maybe the stifling heat in Volgograd had got to the Japan coach? How else to explain his thought process? Nishino rolled the dice not once, but twice here in a fog of muddled thinking and, in the end, was only spared total humiliation back home courtesy of the fair play rule. No one, least of all his players, could quite fathom his decision to make a raft of bewildering changes with everything still to play for against Poland. And no less bemusing was his insistence that Japan run down the clock for the final 10 minutes of the match amid a cacophony of boos inside the Volgograd Arena, despite the knowledge that a second Poland goal or a Senegal equaliser against Colombia would have sent his team crashing out. “It was a very tough de...

Belgium Beats England, but Faces Tougher World Cup Bracket

source:  https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/28/sports/world-cup/england-vs-belgium.html MOSCOW — Adnan Januzaj curled in a left-footed shot in the second half to give a second-string Belgium a 1-0 victory over a second-string England on Thursday. The win continued Belgium’s strong start to the World Cup — it joined Croatia and Uruguay as the only teams to win all three games in the group stage — but it set the Red Devils on a potentially far more difficult path in the knockouts. Belgium won the game in Kaliningrad despite making nine changes to its lineup, and amid a discussion about whether it might be better to finish second in the group instead of winning it. With its victory, Belgium won its third game at the World Cup but advanced to what most consider the tougher side of the  knockout-round bracket , one that includes Brazil, Mexico, France, Argentina, Uruguay and Portugal. England, which made eight changes to its starting lineup in an effort to rest its star...
