Brasil 2014

...And no matter all the corruption and injustice everywhere in our world, no matter what happened to Neymar, no matter all the referee's wrong calls, no matter all the richest and poorest people of the planet, no matter all the the footballers on the field, no matter what...the show must go on and the game is the name.

Yes, Brazil fell down and Germany rose up.

So, good luck to Brazil on Saturday. ...They need to play this time around, and forget about the rest.

And, on Sunday; Go Argentina Go! ...Keep that World Cup in South America.

And screw all the power, all the money!
 
Playing for number three, no I don't think so. This part of the World Cup should be cancelled, and should of been cancelled eons ago. You have three years for all country (sanctioned by FIFA) to qualify for the World Cup, and there is only one cup, no second prize and no third prize. According to all teams, it's a meaningless exercise to play that game, and as a fan, I agree.

It's not a game I will rush to watch. The Dutch and the Brazilian will simply go through the motions, forced by FIFA to do it.

It's a very respectable perspective you have there moinau.

It won't be as an exciting game, ...more like an exhibition game to cover the expenditures (over budget/corrupted expenses and ticket scalpers).
 
By the way, the top football players (even the not so top ones) make huge sums of money. ...Very lucrative sport.

I didn't know Bronze was worthless. I expect that Brazil will be getting organized and try like crazy to redeem themselves after being spanked by Deutchland.

They can, and they will, most of them anyway, but the Dutch will not. For them, third is meaningless, so winning against the Dutch will show very little. This is not the Olympics, the thinking is a whole lot different at the World Cup or at the European Championship. By the way, there is no match for third place at the European Championship.
 
Van Gaal said that the "little final", as we call it in Germany, is totally meaningless and should be abolished.

In 2006 we played in Germany for number three, we won and it became an unforgettable fest in the stadium, the streets, the pubs - and first of all - the hearts!
 
A picture says more than a thousand words.

The 'little final' doesn't live here in Holland. Most people will probably watch part of the game, but all the flags and orange ornaments have already been removed from the streets.
I'm looking forward to the final tomorrow. I feel that Germany has the (much) better team, but with Messi, you never know. But since Germany played the most consistent throughout the tournament, I feel they deserve to win.

van gaal will fit in well at Manchester utd if he thinks the third place play off is irrelevant, I recall utd opting out of the FA cup, yes the FA Cup, the oldest and most respected cup competition in the world to play in the world club finals because all they were interested in was getting their name around the globe.

a good match, they deserve each other.

come on brazil !!

Both Netherlands goals thus far have been total screw-ups by Brazil. This is looking ugly for the home team.
