Watch: Neuer kicks ball into own face

Even the best goalkeeper on the planet struggles with the physics of football every now and again.

Germany stalwart Manuel Neuer, widely regarded as the best at his position, had almost nothing to do in Saturday's comprehensive 3-0 victory over the Czech Republic, facing just one shot on the evening.

So perhaps it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that he seemed to forget how to interact with the ball when he was tasked with retrieving it late in the contest.

Chin up, Manuel. At least you didn't make an actual error this week - something that can't be said for Gianluigi Buffon.
