    Your team played well. Better than Brasil. Suarez will be playing. Injured players ready too? Good Luck :)

    As you should be. Mighty effort from a small nation. Best of luck to you.

    Given the style and recent play of the final four teams, this may very well be a better match than the final.

    Uruguay I hope gets some of their injured players back. Saurez will be back.
    Uruguay can win the game. :)

    Couldn't have said it better myself. I just like how Uruguay plays, I hope they can pull this off. Do they have a chance? I mean, they did against holland, but I don't know if Germany has better chances against them... Thoughts?

    Well I really hope both games are great. Games that people later say, 'Wow that was a really great game' :D
    OJ and vodka, and my team is in the final! ;)

    The third place matches in the last three WCs have been incredibly entertaining. Hopefully this one will maintain that tradition.

    Well traditionally third place games tend to be a lot more wide open than finals anyway.

    True, less is at stake and deep down the players really couldn't care about the outcome knowing they missed out on the final.

    Thanks man.
    We are getting all players back, including hero Suarez. The only one that cant play is Lodeiro because of his injury.
    Good luck at the final but i see Spain as very solid right now !

    It will, Uruguay Germany will be so much more exciting that Holland Spain. Watching Spain play is like watching paint dry.

    The third place match has always been more entertaining than the final because the two teams have nothing to lose, want to give their fans a positive encore and want to provide the local hosts their money's worth. It doesn't matter which teams are playing.

    I'm looking forward to it! I hope the Germany I enjoyed watching all WC show up this time. I'm sure Thomas Muller being back will make a difference. But, I would love to see Uruguay win it; 3rd place means more to Uruguay then Germany. Hope Forlan scores a hat trick!

    Heh, exactly what I thought. I'll definitely await this one more eagerly.

    Germany will be the front-runner but I really count on Uruguay as it would be neat to see at least one underdog winning a medal.

    Klose's attempt to break Ronaldo's record will make this game more interesting.

    I hope the team is doing it for Klose. It's gonna be hard to motivate them though. I think the Urus are more up for it.

    Germany will win this one, too bad they lost from Spain. However this is a young team and they will be back in 2012 and 2014.

    I think the Urus will be much more motivated.

    2006 was different since it was in front of our home-crowd, the
    players and the whole country were still on a high, this feels
    different.

    This could actually be a very interesting match up if both teams can find the will to win it.

    The only reason to watch this match is to see if Klose will break Ronaldo's record. Other than that, it is meaningless.
