Wenger questions Ozil's penalty style

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger questioned the penalty style adopted by his German midfielder Mesut Ozil, after he missed a crucial spot kick in Arsenal's 2-0 home defeat to Bayern Munich.

Ozil’s relaxed approach to his eighth-minute attempt allowed his German international colleague Manuel Neuer to palm away with relative ease, and Wenger admitted he is not a fan of the slow-paced approach adopted by his 42.4 million-pound club-record buy.

"I prefer that people run properly at the ball," Wenger told Sky Sports when asked about of Ozil’s penalty technique. "Look, everyone has their own style and you have to respect that there is not one way of penalty taking. He feels comfortable like that, it’s his style."

A dignified Wenger was gracious after defeat, as he suggested the football fates were against his side on a night when they were matching Bayern before a red card for keeper Wojciech Szczesny seven minutes before half-time.

'Guardians of the Galaxy' Full Trailer: Chris Pratt Shows Star-Lord's Hilarious Side

The first full trailer for Marvel's much-awaited superhero film "Guardians of the Galaxy" has finally arrived. Unlike the previous teaser which focuses only on the action scenes, the new and longer video coming out exclusively via "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" highlights some humorous scenes mostly featuring Star-Lord.

The video opens with Peter Quill getting his hands on a mysterious orb artifact, but some people show up pointing guns at him before he could get out of that place. He introduces himself as Star-Lord, only to get a perplexed reaction from his captors. Apparently, the self-proclaimed Lord is not as famous as he thought he was.

While it doesn't offer much info on the plotline, the trailer does give backstories of the whole crew who is portrayed as outlaws. Drax the Destroyer has been in a rampage across the galaxy in his search for vengeance after his family was killed, while Gamora is a soldier/assassin wanted on over a dozen counts of murder.

Rocket Raccoon has, in his criminal record, over 50 charges of vehicular theft and escape from lockup. Then, Groot is on display. He is too tall so he has to look down through the window so people on the other side of the observation room could see his face. He comes in one package with Rocket because he has been traveling as the gunslinger's personal houseplant/muscle.

The last but not least, there is Star-Lord who is wanted mostly for minor assault, public intoxication and fraud. While the pint-sized Raccoon rudely spits on the floor, Quill makes a scene by giving a comical middle-finger gesture and then acting all innocent when the "obscene gesture alert" is set off. "I'm sorry! I didn't know how this machine worked!" he says.
Chris Pratt stars as Star-Lord, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, and Zoe Saldana as Gamora. Meanwhile, Bradley Cooper voices Rocket Raccoon and Vin Diesel voices Groot. Directed and written by James Gunn, the film will be released in the United States on August 1 in 3D.

Woman Gets Bullied for Her Beard, So She Shows the World What Real Beauty Looks Like

While her classmates were worrying about getting their period and filling out training bras, 11-year-old Harnaam Kaur was growing a beard.

The now 23-year-old teaching assistant from the U.K. suffers from polycystic ovary sydrome, a condition that can cause excessive hair growth. Middle school hallways aren't the most accepting of places, so when her beard first appeared as a preteen Kaur was understandably distressed.

"The names that people would call me were things like 'beardo' instead of weirdo, 'sheman,' 'shemale'," she said in a video for Barcroft TV. She began waxing twice a week in order to better fit in with the other girls at her school, but the constant scrutiny wore her down. At one point in her teen years she even considered suicide.

But when Kaur turned 16, she was baptized as a Sikh. Following the tenets of her religion, she decided to let her hair grow freely. After briefly caving to pressure from her extended family and shaving the hair off one
