What they're saying

"
Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has urged his Germany team-mates to go the "extra metre" at the World Cup in general and against dangerous Ivory Coast on Saturday in particular. "I simply believe that in this tournament, given the conditions – which are perhaps a bit similar to those in Brazil – it all comes down to that extra metre," Neuer has said.
