No World Cup third place play-off has ever ended in a draw. South American sides have met European teams in six third-place play-offs so far, with both continents picking up three wins. This will be the Uruguayans’ third third place play-off, having lost to Austria (3-1 in 1954) and Germany (1-0 in 1970).
Four of Diego Forlan’s five goals overall in the World Cup have come from outside the box, with the other from the penalty spot. Since 1966, no player has ever scored more long-range goals in a single World Cup than Forlán in 2010 (three). Uruguay are without a win in their last 14 World Cup matches against European sides, a run that started with a 1-0 defeat to Germany in the third place play-off in 1970. Uruguay are without a win in three World Cup meetings with Germany, losing twice.
Germany have played in four third-place play-offs, winning three. The Germans have scored three goals in three of their four third place play-offs. The last seven third place play-offs have been won by a side from Europe.
Miroslav Klose needs just one more goal to equal Ronaldo’s all-time record of 15 World Cup goals. With 13 goals, Germany are the highest-scoring team at this World Cup so far. Uruguay’s shooting accuracy from outside the box at this World Cup has been higher (49%) than from inside (48%).
The match that no one wants to play throws together two World Cup heavyweights who have been here before. Three-time World Cup winners Germany met two-time champions Uruguay in a third-place play-off in 1970, with the Germans emerging as the victors. Motivation is always the key factor in this match, which comes hard off the back of crushing semi-final defeats. Both coaches will have to lift their players and take their minds off impending holidays to convince them that third place is a prize worth chasing.
Joachim Loew’s gifted young squad will be expected to mature nicely in time for the next World Cup in Brazil in 2014, but this match may prove to be the international swansong for Miroslav Klose. The 32-year-old striker is hoping a bad back will not prevent him chasing consecutive Golden Boot awards. More importantly, though, he is just two goals shy of overtaking Brazil’s Ronaldo as the top goalscorer in World Cup history. You could hardly blame him, then, if he adopts a shoot-on-sight policy and wrestles the ball from regular penalty taker Bastian Schweinsteiger if Germany are awarded a spot kick.
