#4 Kevin Trapp fails to make a case for himself

German shot-stopper Kevin Trapp didn't have the best of games

Manuel Neuer, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and Bernd Leno. 3 fabulous goalkeepers. 3 safe-as-a-house custodians. That's the competition Kevin Trapp faces if he's to cement a spot as Germany's goalkeeper for the upcoming FIFA World Cup.

Trapp is, perhaps, the last option when it comes to Germany's goalkeeper slot, however, manager Joachim Low decided to bestow the Paris Saint-Germain shot-stopper with an opportunity to make a case for himself last night, although it only served to highlight Trapp's chances, or lack thereof.

Despite restricting the visitors to just the solitary goal - one that was hit right at him, but he failed to stop - Trapp won't be too pleased with his own efforts. Also, with PSG out of the UEFA Champions League, Kevin Trapp is not going to have too many other opportunities to stake his claim, and with just about two-and-a-half months to go before the World Cup, Trapp could very well begin to bid farewell to his World Cup dreams.
