Neuer has never been a normal goalie, but yesterday was bordering insanity. To put that heat map into context, I've never even seen a goalkeeper's heat map. Why the fuck would you want to look at a field with a yellow and green dot in front of goal. But Neuer was fucking EVERYWHERE yesterday. I'll be shocked if a full highlight video of his game isn't on youtube soon, but for now a few gifs are going to have to serve to give you a taste of how this guy plays goalie.
He started off by making a borderline moronic decision to come claim a ball that he was never going to get to first, only to put in a world class tackle to stop the scoring chance.
He was upset about his shitty decision making from earlier, so naturally Neuer decided to come flying out of his goal again to punch a ball at the top of the box while absolutely bundling an Algerian player going for the same ball. GET JACKED!
Later on he bobbled a ball in the box, and was so pissed with himself that he took it upon himself to get Germany a goal, putting a forward through on goal with a 70 yard bullet of a punt.
He kept a shutout for 119 minutes, but apparently that's not good enough for our boy Manuel. He stripped the ball from Algerian players trying to restart play quickly in a play that would have made any NBA point guard proud and pulled off a Harlem Globetrotters-esque behind the back pass to an open teammate. Suck a dick bro, Neuer is going to the World Cup quarter finals.
