World Cup 2010 Germany defeats Uruguay 3-2 and third place in the tournament
Uruguay had a very difficult time, which in the World Cup. They did not know had most brilliant qualification stage ever. The team played Costa Rica for the last spot among the North and South American teams. But one thing you rely can. The Uruguayans have a lot of soul and just enthusiasm and perseverance. They all go out, put their heart behind every game. And that is how a small country in South America, with not more than 4 million people have once again at the head of world football.
The Germans have had a long tradition of good World Cup performances. This is the second Tournament in succession in which they finished third. But it is much more to be said about this German team. You have come to one of the youngest teams in tournament. With the exception of Veteran striker Miroslav Klose, the Germans proved to have made an extraordinary team. had the men of Joachim Loew held a grand Run. Perhaps Muller absent during her semi-final game against the Netherlands proved, a very high price, and they could not make it to the final.
Let's face it. The Germans and the Uruguayans did not manage to play this game for third place, was far more interesting and exciting, if not to say, much better than the last game between the Netherlands and Spain played.
Uruguay was the last South American team standing in the World Cup. And the truth be told, the Charruas had a good chance of complete annoyance. And yet, will be much said about Fernando Muslera the power at the end of the Uruguayan defense. It is known that the goalkeeper is one of the most thankless jobs ever. But also explains the young goalkeeper, that this was one of his worst games. Sure it was pouring for most of the game. And sure, many players and nurses have commented on the Ball's poor performance and distorted trajectory. But it just was not his game. Two of Germany's goals were mainly because of his poor performance.
Thomas Mueller opened the scoring for the Germans after 19 minutes of play. Bastian Schweinsteiger made a great shot from 30 meters. Muslera blocked the first shot but was able to hold the ball as it rebounded and finished close to the miller, who finished the game with ease.
Not ten minutes later, Luis Suarez opened through the left flank and a superb fast Edinson Cavani crossed the ball to the keepers left and managed a beautiful goal. This gave the Uruguayan team a new look and a kind of improved performance. They held quite effectively been on the defensive end. And yet, thanks to the leadership of Diego Forlan on the midfield, they stopped at the borders of the German defense. wants Luis Suarez was not as sharp as his team, and he missed a few good chance to end the game.
Forlan shot from outside the box, the Uruguayan team, the leadership was to start the second half. It seemed really as if they could do it. But then again, mismanagement Muslera a ball into the penalty area and Marcell Jansen, without missing a beat, finished the game to draw the game.
8 minutes before the end, the Uruguayan defense could not sent a ball from a corner kick. The Germans had the ball twice in the head and tied it Khedira inside the South American Goal for 3-2. It seemed as if that is still to be. But maybe it the last game of the match was that the Uruguayan courage as an example. The team on the attack even as time the current held and it seemed there would be no hope.
Forlan had a great chance of a 23-meter free kick. That was it. He put his soul into the shot, as if through the air waving and bounced off the upper goal post. The Germans took the third place. Both teams gave us one of the best games of the tournament.
