My 2010 World Cup Diary : Germany secures 3rd place with exciting 3-2 victory over brave Uruguay

This should have been the World Cup final. Credit to both teams who treated 3rd place as a prestigious position. Thomas Mueller scored for Germany first before Cavani equalised for Uruguay and it was 1-1 at the break. Uruguay grow in confidence and taken the lead through Diego Forlan with his 5th goal of the tournament early in the 2nd half. Germany came back quickly with a headed Jansen goal. Germany got the winner from a corner in the 82min, a swinger was missed by everyone and took a richochet off an Uruguayan defender, Khedira gave a looping header into goal. Uruguay never gave up until the very last kick of the game with Forlan hitting the Germany upright with a brilliant freekick. The whistle blew right after and Germany win the 3rd World Cup placing with this 3-2 victory. I was very impressed with Uruguay, possibly the most exciting team of the tournament. Good game.

Believe it or not, Octopus Paul has completed all his Germany team 2010 World Cup predictions with a 100% accurate prediction.Truly amazing.
