In the World Cup football tournament, two-time winners Uruguay and three-time champions Germany clash at Port Elizabeth later tonight to decide third place. Both coaches, Oscar Tabarez of Uruguay and Germany's Joachim Loew will have to rouse their players for one last effort after losing their semi-finals to the Netherlands and Spain respectively. The Uruguayans have an advantage in that they will havehad an extra day to absorb their disappointment and 63-year-old Tabarez is known to be a shrewd motivator of men. German captain Philipp Lahm, who was in tears after the 1-0 loss to Spain, said a night's sleep had allowed him to digest the defeat a little bit more and had reflected on his initial decision that it was not worth playing in the consolation match.
