As I see it. Neuer was clearly going 100% for the ball so no foul. Collisions happen.

Julio Cesar against Colombia on the other hand was clearly going for James's legs.

No way you can't fly through the air like that and clear someone out with your knee. Yeah he got the ball but if your out of control like that it's still a red.
 
C'mon Muller score already, i'm afraid we gonna see the same scenario like the Iran match here and Messi scores 5 or 10 minutes before the match ends.

As a footballer, you're trained to keep you eyes on the ball...
...but you have to know that the goalie is going to play that ball as well...
 
Getting to the ball first doesn't really give you carte blanch to plant your knee in someone's head though.

This argument shows who played football or watches it regularly and those that only watch the WC. Goalkeepers always come out to high balls with their knees out, that's how they are taught to do it. This will never be called a foul, faults on Higuain for getting close to Neuer. There's a reason nobody challenges GKs on high balls.
