Hart's just like all the English goalkeepers before him is just a media scapegoat.

He should have known Nastasic was going to head it to him, there was just no need to run out. Nastasic forgot his keeper is a klutz though and should have headed it away from goal for a corner.
I would say he has been very lucky with the way the media have treated him up until now and has come away relatively unscathed each time he's made an error for England. Compare the infamous Robert Green + Ben Foster blunders vs Croatia + USA to Hart's vs Poland + Scotland.
The only person who's came out and criticised him was Roy Keane. Neville slams De Gea for the goal he was at fault for at Spurs last season but won't say anything negative about Hart (understandable because of his role in the management of the England team), but when you've got sections of the media suggesting things like the ball being too shiny you know something's up.
3rd time Hart has done that this season as well (Villa + Bayern). He has a track record for this type of error.
