Ned 2-1 Brazil. - my prediction.

Netherlands are the better team but I can't go past Brazil here.

Thiago Silva being back is a huge boost and they have to make a huge statement, Netherlands have nothing to prove and surely van Gaal is thinking of Man Utd now.

Ah, the second most pointless game in world football.

The most interesting thing will be how many Brazilians bother to turn up.

I don't think there's ever been a good one other than the 2002 game which was great.

Really? I thought 2006 and 2010 were both pretty exciting.

This match's thread isn't good enough to be sticky? @StinkyBoHoon

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

it's the 3rd place play off, so no.

 

[Dipak]

Maybe the third place should get bronze medals to bake a game less pointless?

Like high level fifa corruption, people complain and protest that this game should be scrapped, but FIFA never listens.

With the teams on show IMO it was always going to be pointless, two genuine underdogs fighting for it in 2002 was great though.

All my threads are worth being stickies, sadly no one realizes their value.

Brazil should win.
