Manuel Neuer branded disgrace after Germany’s shocking World Cup exit

Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has been branded a ‘disgrace’ after his side suffered a shock defeat to South Korea and was ruled out of World Cup 2018. The defending champions finished bottom of Group F after being beaten by South Korea. From 87^th minute of the match, South Korea took the lead from a corner, before Tottenham forward Son Heung-min sealed the victory with another injury-time goal. Son raced through on goal and placed the ball into an empty net after goalkeeper Neuer had lost the ball in the South Korean half. Chris Sutton, commentating on BBC Radio 5 Live, said: ‘Manuel Neuer you are a disgrace. ‘What is he doing playing on the left wing? He is a goalkeeper, why is he in that position? It’s an open goal for Son and the Germans have got what they deserve. ‘Germany, you have got what you deserve. They have just not done enough. It’s poor defending from a set-piece and it’s incredible scenes inside this stadium. ‘I did not see it coming. I thought Germany would’ve brought the momentum from the Sweden game into today, but they started so slowly without any intensity. ‘Why was Manuel Neuer ahead of two forwards for the second goal? He is a loose cannon.’
