Germany takes Third


Germany's Tomas Müller finishes his first World Cup brilliantly.

Uruguay 2-3 Germany

True to its history, the Consolation (or Third Place) Match was a refreshingly wide-open and high scoring affair. The match has arguably the least amount of pressure on it of all the WC matches and the result was a much more free-flowing football display. Young German phenom Thomas Müller showed just how much Germany missed him against Spain by opening the scoring. Uruguayan captain Diego Forlan finished his world class WC performance with another amazing strike. Forlan just missed an opportunity to equalize on the last action of the game when his free kick rattled off the crossbar. Congrats to Germany and Uruguay as they both provided some of the most memorable footballing moments of the tournament!
