A match that no team wants to play.

Pointless match. I hope FIFA abandons this farce from the next WC.

Seriously.. it is farce. Must be stopped. Netherlands openly said that they dont want to play this match and well Brazil is not in a position to make a statement. After 1-7, anything otherthn position no. 32 would be like getting free credit.

Copied from elsewhere. ------------- From Lahm's account:

The Germans had to go to Stuttgart for a match none of them wanted to play, the third-place playoff against Portugal. When they landed at the airport it was pouring rain. The bus that picked them up got stuck in a traffic jam. The players were irritated. What’s the holdup? The main train station is closed, the bus driver said. “For ****’s sake,” the players grumbled. “What’s going on?” Lahm writes: “There are 10,000 people at the train station. They’re waiting for you.”

------------ Usually 3rd place match is relatively more entertaining, with nothing to lose/gain, teams play more freely. Also, it is a truer test of your passion for the game. When you are down and out, nothing to play for, can you still give you the best and enjoy the game. Especially for the love of your fans.

Penalty to Dutch.that should have been a red

[zakk]

Goal :--D

[adi B]

Why did the ref not give Silva a red?scared of the crowd retaliation perhaps,anyways van charsi scores

[rising]

That was red card and free kick outside the box I guess in way brazil got luck Silva red card would meant their defense might have been shambles again

[adi B]

This was the most ridiculous decision a ref made in this wc.how blatant red that was!!

[zep1706]

I love how Robben dives, not saying it was not a foul but no one beats Robben in diving. That should have been a free kick though, the foul was just outside the box.

[adi B]

A free kick but a deserved red.Dutch are too compact at the back and are.looking dangerous on the counter,this might end up in another heartbreak loss for Brazil
