Germany: After being defeated in the 2010 World Cup semi-finals by Spain, all that is left is to win the third place honors. Soccer betting experts are clearly leaning on how both teams compare to one another on paper, and on paper; Germany is clearly an overwhelming favorite. Not only do the Germans look better on paper, they have looked even better throughout the tournament. The loss against Spain wasn't because they were missing Thomas Mueller, it was because team manager Joachim Loew decided to "reinvent the wheel." Why change your strategy from a powerful, fast, and high powered offense, to a more defensive style; looking to attack only on counter attacks. If Germany takes the same sort of style of play into their match against Uruguay, they might find themselves in trouble. 

Uruguay: The South Americans are significant underdogs and are trading at +335 on the money line. If you are not one to judge a team by what the "paper" says and you prefer to use the eye test, than Uruguay looked like the better team in the semi-final match. Uruguay gave it their all against the Netherlands, being down several key players; they fought with pride throughout the match all the way until the final whistle. In the end, they were defeated by a better team. Soccer predictions among expert analysts want to know will Uruguay have the will and the pride to come out on the pitch again and fight for a third place finish?
