Bronze medal Summary
Match worth the big final
I just have to say one thing – it was a great game. The best in the World Cup by far! A lot of offensive football, actions on the both sides, drama and, what’s most important in footbal, a lot of great goals! And the one scored by Diego Forlan was just brilliant!
Germany with bronze medals!
Both teams deserved to win this game, but the winner could be only one and it’s Germany! First half ended with 1-1 result. Thomas Muller put Germany in the lead, but Edison Cavani scored few minutes later. Second 45 minutes were even better than first. Forlan scored a fantastic goal and this time it was Uruguay who was in the lead. But later Marcell Jansen scored a goal and it was equalized. Winning goal was scored in 82nd minute by Khedira and Germany ends up with the World Cup bronze! In stoppage time great opportunity forForlan, but his shot landed on the crossbar.
Hero of this game? For me – Digo Forlan. He proved, that he’s awesome player!
1-0 Muller
1-1 Cavani
1-2 Forlan
2-2 Jansen
3-2 Khedira

Paraguay – Spain 0-1
A pretty boring game with only one goal, but besides that goal, two(!) missed penalties. And it all began with Paraguay player Cardozo and a bad penalty, saved by spanish keeper Casillasl. Only one minute later Spain got a penalty, Alonso scored but the referee said it had to be retaken, and Alonso missed…
Spain finally got the winning goal, and once again the goal was scored by David Villa. He is now the top scorer in the world cup with 5 goals.
