Uruguay v Germany 3rd/4th Place Play Off

How many of you can remember who finished in 3rd place of previous World Cups, I reckon only John Motson would have that kind of knowledge but its a game that has to be played, I just hope both sides put in one final effort and arent suffering a hangover from their semi-final defeat.
Uruguay have Diego Forlan who could still win the Golden Boot award for the most goals scored so he will want to play, Luis Suarez could make a return after his suspension for "that" handball but I just have a feeling Uruguay will play all those that havent played yet in the tournament which will be a disappointment for the fans that turn up.
Although he is suffering and injury Germany also have a player that could win the Golden Boot, Miroslav Klose and also, should he score one more goal he will be Ronaldo's record for the most goals scored at the World Cup so he will be desperate to get on the pitch.  Germany were the suprise package of the tournament as they were in a transition period and the younf players were suppose to be ready for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil so if they could finish 3rd then that would be a fantastic achievement.
Personally, I reckon Germany will want this more and for that reason I am going for a Germany win, I wonder what Paul The Octupus thinks?


Head To Head: Uruguay 1 win, 2 Draws, Germany 6 wins
Previous Meeting: 13/10/1993 - Germany 5 Uruguay 0 - Bochum
Odds: Uruguay 4/1, Draw 14/5, Germany 4/5
