#3 Manuel Neuer
Germany captain Manuel Neuer has to take a fair share of responsibility for their elimination from the tournament. Neuer missed most part of the 2017/18 season because of an injury and barely made it to the World Cup.
Though he played a few warm-up games, his lack of game time was clearly evident in his performances throughout the tournament. Though he wasn’t entirely responsible for Mexico’s goal, he could have done better at his near post.
He was indecisive on quite a few occasions throughout the tournament. Though their defenders have to take some blame, Neuer was nowhere close to his best. Even on Wednesday, he failed to control a 25-meter free kick from Jung Woo-Young on Wednesday and bobbled the ball, which could have resulted in a Korea goal. He is into his early 30s and this probably could be his last World Cup.
