This morning, Germany beat Uruguay 2-3 to achieve third place for the FIFA World Cup 2010. And with that, I say ...
DANKE, DEUTSCHLAND.
I'm so, so proud of them for having made it this far, despite having their fair share of detractors at the start of the tournament. They played exquisite football throughout, putting the "beautiful" back into the phrase so often used to describe the sport, "the beautiful game". And the fact that it's a young squad, who have shown so much maturity and talent on the pitch, can only speak of better things to come in future competitions.
Till 2012 and 2014!
