Third Place

Match Details
Uruguay-Germany, Third Place, Port Elizabeth – Port, Saturday 10 July, 20.30 (local time)

Why Germany would win?

Germany has proven they are a scoring machine and being the third youngest team in the tournament have showed everyone their ability to run, setup plays, counterattack with blinding speed and score four goals in a game, something they have done three times in 2010 FIFA World cup.

Miroslav Klose is a deadly striker and he can put up two goals tonight and expect something from Muller and company to do the same.

Why Uruguay would win?

Uruguay is fielding their best national team in decades and they are powered by Diego Forlan on the scoring end while their defense is a strong wall stopping opponents. This team would be patient for counter attacks and goal scoring opportunities.

Key Takeaway

This may not be the finals but both these teams would want to have a podium finish in the tournament. Germany has beaten Portugal in 2006 finishing third in the tournament and I have my money on this team again.
