I gotta disagree with you on this one, if Neuer never did his brainfart, the random curve of the ball would have never landed and hit Giroud like a meteorite from the sky. You're seeing it as a fluke after Neuer made the stupid play, while I am seeing it directly responsible from Neuer being an idiot causing unknown and random bounces to due to his mistake. But don't think I hate Neuer or anything here, he is best goalkeeper in the world as far as I am concerned.
Nah, it's all good, I understand where you're coming from, and I don't take it as hating on him. I do see it a bit differently, maybe, probably not even that, just from a different perspective, I suppose. Sure, he absolutely shouldn't have left any room for chance to turn this into a goal. He should have eliminated the possibility of a fluke there, I can understand that primary point of view. That's how Neuer himself looks at it, and when reviewing Neuer for the game, that's how I look at it, too. In the grand scheme, though, in a chain of events that leads to a certain result, as soon as one link is a fluke, the result becomes a fluke, IMO. So, I'd still call the goal a fluke. Not to take any blame away from Neuer on that one, though.
