Tonight Germany have been playing Uruguay in the World Cup's third place playoff. As this is basically just a game to see wins the title of second loser very few people really watch it and I was one of them.
That was a shame because with a lot of the pressure taken off the teams it was actually quite a good game with Germany winning 3-2. Muller opened the scoring for Germany in the 18th minute by charging in on the rebound after Uruguay's keeper failed to catch Schweinsteiger's long range shot. Cavani levelled things for Uruguay on the 28th minute with a well placed shot finishing off a well timed run into the penalty area.
In the 51st minute Forlan put Uruguay ahead with a great shot. Arevalo crossed it into the box and Forlan volleyed it. After striking the ground it bounced back up and past a flat footed goalkeeper. 5 minutes later Germany equalised through Jansen and then on the 82nd minute Khedira put them 3-2 ahead.
With the last kick of the game Forlan got a free kick on the centre edge of the German penalty area. He blasted it over the wall and past the goalkeeper only hit the cross bar denying Uruguay an equaliser and Forlan the chance to go top of the tournament goal scorers table.
