Watch Uruguay vs Germany

Date: Sat, July 10, 2010 , Location: Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium
World Cup 2010, South Africa


No World Cup third place play-off has ever ended in a draw. South American sides have met European teams in six third-place play-offs so far, with both continents picking up three wins. It’s evenly matched. Often billed as the game that nobody cares about, the World Cup final third place play-off has some interesting storylines this year. While both sides will rue the performances that saw them dumped out of the spotlight, there is still a lot to play for as Germany take on surprise package Uruguay in Port Elizabeth. . Khedira has been one of the stars of the tournament thus far, showing confidence beyond his tender years in central midfield. That Germany have looked a better side without Michael Ballack is largely down to the Stuttgart midfielder, but he will have his work cut out with marking Forlan. The striker is playing behind a front two for his country at this World Cup and, in his new playmaking role, has flourished. Excellent control of the ball, tireless running and a propensity to score goals from outside the box make him a dangerous opponent and he will be fired up to ensure Uruguay go out with a bang. Germany (5.00), Uruguay (3.60) and the draw (1.72) are available with but Miroslav Klose to score two or more goals – thus becoming the World Cup’s greatest ever goalscorer – comes in at 8.00. Meanwhile, Germany‘s Miroslav Klose (14) is chasing not only the Golden Boot, but also a chance to overtake Brazil legend Ronaldo (15) as the World Cup’s greatest ever goalscorer. The Germans may not like their success in this game, but they have picked up three 3rd placed awards already – in 1934, 1970 and 2006 – with Bastian Schweinsteiger’s brace making them ‘reigning champions’ in that respect. We will post results of this match, as soon as posible.. stay with us.
