#4 Manuel Neuer (South Korea v Germany)
Such is the pressure of this platform that even the very best in the business makes a fool of himself. While Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo missed penalties, Manuel Neuer conceded an avoidable goal. In a match against South Korea, whom the defending champions were expected to dominate, Germany was trailing by a goal in the 96th minute.
On the brink of elimination, sweeper-keeper Neuer tried to slot in as a midfielder, something that cannot be considered a mistake, given the situation the game was in. However, he carelessly lost the ball to an opponent, which not only led to an easy second goal for South Korea but also saw Germany finish at the bottom of the table.
