PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa (AP)—The difference
between success and failure
in football is often measured in inches, and so it proved for Uruguay
and star
striker Diego Forlan on Saturday.
With the last kick of the game in the third-place playoff against
Germany,
Forlan’s freekick cannoned off the crossbar and Germany held on for a
3-2 at
Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
Inches lower and Uruguay would have taken Germany to
extra time and Forlan
would have become outright leading scorer at the tournament with six
goals.
“Only a tiny thing was missing with the freekick,” Forlan said as
Uruguay
lost 3-2 in a thrilling match—and missed out on third place and its best
finish at a World Cup in 60 years.
Despite the small margin, Forlan made a big impact for his country at
the
World Cup with his five goals, tying him with three other
players—Germany’s
Thomas Mueller, Spain’s David Villa and the Netherlands’ Wesley
Sneijder—as
leading scorer.
“For the Uruguayan team Forlan is a very important player,” said
coach
Oscar Tabarez. “He is the top football player for us.”
“He has achieved many things. He has taken the leading role in our
team. We
almost can’t do without him.”
With his help, Uruguay got to the brink of the final before a 3-2
semifinal
defeat by the Dutch.
Forlan scored from a vicious long-range shot in that semifinal. There
was
also a swerving, dipping freekick in the quarterfinals against Ghana and
a
spectacular volley against the Germans in the third place playoff.
Forlan has now scored 29 times for his country, two off Hector
Scarone’s
all-time Uruguay record.
He will also share the World Cup’s Golden Boot award in 2010—provided
Sneijder or Villa don’t score in Sunday’s World Cup final.
The goals from the 31-year-old Atletico Madrid forward were a major
reason
for Uruguay’s best World Cup performance since a fourth-place finish in
1970.
“It’s something spectacular to be among the top four,” said Forlan.
“If
someone would’ve asked us at the beginning, we would’ve liked it. It’s
something
positive.”
Tabarez said there may be one more World Cup in Forlan, who will have
just
turned 35 when the 2014 tournament kicks off in Brazil.
“It will depend on what Diego has in his mind,” Tabarez said.
“Physically
there is nothing stopping him.”
“He takes care of himself so it all depends on what perspective he
has
himself for his future. He will go on contributing for our team.
“He is not like any other player.”

Diego
Forlan has been one of the outstanding talents of the 2010 World Cup,
so it was fitting that the Atletico Madrid striker finished with
something of a flourish in the third/fourth place playoff.
Uruguay
might have come up short against Germany, edged out 3-2, but that
certainly wasn’t for a lack of effort from their talismanic forward.
Indeed, Forlan had his side ahead early in the second half, diverting an
awkward pass from Alvaro Rios brilliantly into the net with a volley of
technical excellence… off his weaker right foot.
Even in the
game’s last breath Forlan nearly brought new life into his side, sending
a well struck free kick against the face of the crossbar that would
have brought 30 additional minutes of play and enhanced the
31-year-old’s chances of claiming the Golden Boot, which he is in tied
first position for ahead of Sunday’s final.
The Celeste may not
have matched die Mannschaft, but Forlan, whose passing was perceptive
and imaginative, was undoubtedly the game’s outstanding talent.

fans agreed with the editors, clearly impressed by Forlan’s well taken
finish and clever link-up play, which kept the Celeste active as an
offensive force throughout this encounter and indeed the competition as a
whole.
Como Atletico, el mundo del futbol es cada dia más insoportable; la gilMAFIA, los Representantes Prestamistas, las Peñas Calleras, la Aficion Pipera, el Duopolio, la Liga Adulterada, la RFEF, la LFP, los Arbitros, la Nauseabunda Prensa Complice y lo que faltaba, Pandemia de Papistas más Papistas que el Papa.
Como persona, la situacion economica y sociopolitica internacional es, si cabe, aún mas nauseabunda que la del Atleti, PERO... El Mundo actual, segun lo conocemos, desaparecerá. El presente nivel de concientización humano, por si mismo, ya no puede resolver las complejidades que ha creado. 21/12/2012 Ya viene llegando...
!SALUDOS ROJiblancos! ¡AUPA ATLETI! ¡FUERA LA gilMAFIA, FUERA YA!
