URUGUAY 2
True to form, the 3rd place play off has delivered a cracker, with Germany prevailing 3-2 over a resilient Uruguay, who have managed to lift again. If not for the woodwork denying Forlan's last kick of the match, extra time would have beckoned.
Uruguayan keeper Muslera ruined a good tournament, at fault for the 1st and 2nd goals. German player Dennis Aogo was lucky not to have been lynched for his an agricultural scythe that would not have looked out of place in Prov League 2 NW.
In the end, Germany happened to be in front when the whistle blew and can both teams can be proud of their achievements. Let's hope the final is as half as entertaining.
Back in RIo, Ronaldo (the one that has produced at world cups), was heard to cackle through his buck teeth as Miroslav Klose missed out on breaching his 15 goal record.
And so on to the final. One version of 4-2-3-1 v another, one looking to nullify the other's creative spirit. Holland to win 2-1, even though my heart wants to see their creative methods rewarded. If the Brazil of 1982 & 1986 can go without the spoils, so can the Spain of 2010. Just as long as Van Bommel finally receives his overdue red card...
