World Cup 2018: 8 players who disappointed in Russia

Manuel Neuer (GK: Germany/Bayern Munich)

Neuer conceded two goals against South Korea to confirm Germany's departure

Neuer was a doubt for Germany right up until Joachim Löw chose his 23-man squad. He suffered a broken metatarsal in September 2017 which saw him miss 37 games for Bayern Munich. He pushed FC Barcelona’s in-form Marc-Andre Ter Stegen out of the German starting XI which many saw as the start of Germany’s problems.

He conceded four goals in three games for Die Mannschaft and with that, Germany’s tournament was over. His performance was characterised by the open goal scored by South Korea whilst he was playing in midfield desperately trying to keep Germany in the tournament. Once one of the best but it might be time to step aside.
