3) Manuel Neuer
The German goalkeeper is currently regarded the best in his position due to his agility and incredible reflexes.The Bayern Munich shot stopper has been the only goalkeeper in the entire tournament who hasn’t conceded yet.
Neuer, who has been donning the captain’s armband in place of the benched Bastian Schweinsteiger has been equal to whatever the opposition has thrown at him so far.
Germany’s backline has been very disciplined and as a result, the opposition haven’t been able to take too many shots at goal but whenever they found some space to shoot, Neuer was always there to rescue Germany.
Neuer could face his biggest challenge of the tournament when Germany face Italy in the final eight and there is a good chance his shot-stopping abilities will be put to test as the match might go all the way to a penalty shootout.
