WC 2014 3rd Place Play-off: Brazil vs Netherlands

[TBM]

I actually agree with van Gaal on this....its a pointless match

I mean, without looking, who can name the teams that have finished 3rd in the past 5 world cups?!

That aside i think Brazil NEED to win this, to soften the blow for the other night

[Ouroboros]

Without looking:

2010: Germany?
2006: Germany?
2002: Turkey
1998: Croatia?
1994: Sweden
1990: Italy

Can't really remember any of the games except for England's Peter Shilton-inspired defeat in 1990.

It's a pointless game, 'greed. I just hope to see another Brazil meltdown.

lol @ "without looking"

You're right btw

It's just because I'm autistic.

I do remember Sweden 4-0 Bulgaria actually. Poor Bulgaria. Think Turkey similarly thrashed South Korea.

It's quite often relevant for one of two guys chasing the golden boot.

In fact, Juste Fontaine scored about three-quarters of his record WC haul in the post-semi-final warm-down.

Turkey South Korea was 3-2 but fastest World Cup goal ever got scored in it.

agree it's pointless.

I Imagine both teams would much rather not play this game. Probably iching to get away on holiday before the new seasons start. Be funny if they refused to turn up.

The only fans interested in this game are Arsenal ones.

Hmm...

3 Chelsea players in the 3rd place play off and 1 in the final
3 Arsenal players in the final

Oof!

[genome]

Brazil 0-1 Holland after 2 mins

[PieEater]

WTF the clearest red card you'd ever see, and it was outside the box.

Silva should be off after 3 mins.

[sputnik]

great start for Brazil

[Ascotexgunner]

Would love to see another Brazil drubbing.

[genome]

2-0

[tulip]

Brazil really are crap!

[sputnik]

Great pass there from Luiz

[soggy biscuit]

I see David Luiz has learnt his lesson
