Neuer’s fitness doubt

There were doubts about Manuel Neuer’s fitness in the build-up to this World Cup and while that has undoubtedly played a part in his performance, should there be doubts about his level now? A single first-half one-on-one save apart, he looked very suspect, not least for the goal – where he was less than commanding – and one awkward late stop where he got his feet wrong. Again, just another drop-off from 2014.
