Poor response.
Forlan inspired his team to have one result where they played above their standard and that was against Mexico. Other than that Mueller outplayed him. Other like Xavi, Sneijder, Robben and even Casillas with his numerous clean sheets have all outplayed and had a bigger impact than Forlan.

Forlan pretty much single handedly brought a mediocre team all the way to the semis. Those other players you mentioned had other stars playing alongside them. Who did Forlan have? A diving Suarez and a brainless Cavani. Forlan to Uruguay is what Maradona is to Argentina. Not even comparable to the other stars of this tournament in terms of the impact he made on his nation.
