Meaningless Game

Meaningless

I ask myself could this be the most pointless game of football ever 3rd or 4th place in the World Cup. A simple question for FIFA, why, and is anyone interested.

 

We know the opinion of the Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal who called it a pointless exercise and nothing to do with football. Other managers, players, and fans feel the same as most people who believe it is just a moneymaking operation on the part of FIFA.

 

There is the prize money! The winner receives $20m and $18m for the losing team a nice payday for a meaningless game like this. There must be a better way to find the third place team other than playing this match that could run into extra time, and penalties. I don’t think even England with be happy to play a play-off game for 3rd place but then again the English press would love it.

 

I can’t be asked to watch the game however Brazil need to save face after the 7-1 defeat they received at the hands of Germany in the week but I don’t think it will mean much if they do
