boateng: wasn't amazing, but certainly wasn't poor. made countless clearance from the ridiculous amount of low crosses made by algeria.
kroos: again, wasn't amazing but he did provide a decent amount of link up play and a few half decent shots.
gotze: probably the only player with a performance comparable to Ozil, but he went off at HT so comparison is difficult.
all 3 players above weren't great, but you're missing the point about just how bad Ozil was. he had so many chances to either score or assist a goal. a wonderful player; stood out in 2010, but really hasn't replicated it today.

You can't ignore the fact that Ozil scored, even if it was at the end of the game. Turned out to be the goal that won it for the Germans.

I guess we see it differently. Collectively and individually it was a bad performance from A lot of them but seems its so much easier to target Ozil because of his style of play.
