November 23: Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer joins the attack to contest a header with Japan defender Maya Yoshida at Khalifa International Stadium (Photo by Dan Mullan)

Don Mullan: I was in the fairway, high up, wearing a harness with two cameras and two lenses strapped in front of me. And that was when Neuer ran out of his own net and took part in a corner kick in the final moments of the match. Often you can not take a picture of goalkeepers inside the picture frame. And being in a high angle like this, not knowing which team is attacking from which team is defending, something that doesn’t happen in most football games. What made this photo attractive is that the ball is in the air, and all the players are looking at it. Seeing the players’ faces adds dimension to the picture – especially from above.

Lars Baron: When Morocco was awarded a direct free kick outside the penalty area, Croatia were perfectly positioned to act out the defensive wall. Most teams now have a player lying on the ground to stop a low ball if they jump up the wall, so this time I thought it might be a good idea to focus on the player lying with the jumping defenders portrayed by their boots.
