I always thought this kind of game was quite harsh. It just sorta rubbed in the fact that they didn't make the final. Hey ho. So today was Uruguay vs. Germany, and it was a really good game. All the pressure was off both teams, so they were able to play good football. Germany took the lead after 18 minutes after Muslera in the Uruguay goal spilled a shot, and he put it in the net. It didn't take long before Uruguay could equalise, with Edison Cavani scoring against the run of play after 28 minutes. It stayed like this till half time, and then Uruguay took the lead after 51 minutes, with, who else, Diego Forlan scoring a great goal to top off his tournament. But after 56 minutes, Marcell Jansen headed in brilliantly to give the Germans a much-needed equaliser. With 10 minutes to go, Sami Khedira scored for the Germans, to keep it 3-2, and for the second consecutive tournament, Germany were the 3rd placed team. A great tournament for both teams, and we'll see what the rankings are like come Monday. For the highlights, click here.

You always know you're nearly at the finish line when you see a team celebrating behind hoardings, but without a trophy. Today was the 3rd place play-off.
