I noted that too. Neuer's total arrogance in playing midfield at the end as well. It's one thing going up for a corner, yet another playing 'rush' in a WC game!

I’m willing to roll with this thread, but come on...you’re reading way too much into his last minute decision to try and save their tournament.

Arrogance or worth a go?

I would have done the same thing.

I've just watched it back. He ran into MIDFIELD past two of his own defenders and hovered there for about a minute. Had the ball thrown to his feet and lost it straight away.

Sure, go up for set pieces or get yourself up as an areal threat for long balls. But don't run into left midfield and think you're some sort of player.

It was truly bonkers..

Arrogance? It's called taking a risk. There's no difference between losing 1-0 and losing 2-0.

Cleared that up :

South Korea goalkeeper Jo Hyeon-woo said: "I've never had a perfect game like this before, all my career.

"All of the Korea players, and also the head coach, were playing for the Korean people, we all become one for the Korean people.

"It was only after the match that we realised the score and of course we were disappointed, so that's why a lot of us cried."

Yeah I saw that, makes more sense now, although still a bit strange that no one, including all the subs who ran on, appeared to be aware of the other game!

It depends which reference you choose as I looked it up as Lod in present day Israel. was a Roman soldier of Greek origin and a member of the Praetorian Guard for Roman emperor Diocletian, who was sentenced to death for refusing to recant his Christian faith.

We'll agree to disagree and say he was born in the Middle East.

To be fair, I didn't choose or select my references to 'prove' a point - they were the first two that came up when I googled 'St.George', and both also agree that he was a member of the Praetorian Guard for Roman emperor Diocletian, and was sentenced to death for refusing to recant his Christian faith.

But yes, OK, Middle East it is.

It's not like the other 10 men did anything for 90mins.

It was still recklessly stupid and arrogant of Neuer to think he could go upfield and become a playmaker. By all means head into their box by that stage and try to create a bit of chaos. But actually taking up a position in midfield and trying to beat a man ? Do behave. What an absolute weapon.

I'd have never forgiven an England goalkeeper for doing that. He got exactly what he deserved.
