Friday Flashback: When Germany took third place with style in 2006
Germany may have become everyone’s favourites to win the World Cup, but unfortunately they had to face the best Spanish team in history in the semifinals. That being said, those Germans just love to win. And they’ll get another chance to do so tomorrow in the 3rd place match against Uruguay. So while they were defeated by Italy 2-0 in extra time in 2006, they certainly didn’t let that stop them from thrashing Portugal’s golden generation 3-1. There is a reason that the World Cup betting odds are in Germany’s favour for tomorrow night, and that is simply because they are going to win. No disrespect to Uruguay, but this German side, like past sides, have a sublime instinct to win when their country is behind them.
