Nobody wants to settle for third place. Good thing Germany and Uruguay have to fight for it: a last chance to wow the fans and bring some World Cup glory back home.

This time, Paul the Octopus is back on side for Die Mannschaft- does this mean that La Celeste will be left out in the cold? Both teams' coaches say that their squads have broken off the rearview mirror, and are looking only toward the future, and victory.

Fans will be treated to a superstar striker shootout between Miroslav Klose, who is one goal short of an all-time finals scoring record, and Diego Forlan, both of whom lived up to their respective hype in South Africa. That is, if Klose can play through his back injury.

This duo of vastly experienced strikers have four goals apiece so far and will be determined to further their respective Golden Boot hopes by finding the net again at the Port Elizabeth Stadium. The lethal pair both picked up knocks in their sides’ semi-final defeats, however, and may struggle to fire on all cylinders come Saturday evening.
