The Official World Cup 2010 Thread

The third place games are never any good.

You just have 2 teams who can't be bothered any more who just want to go home playing in an otherwise totally pointless game.

In fact a lot of TV companies don't even bother showing them. It's only the past couple of world cups I can remember seeing them screened.

So did the French, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Italians, Hungarians, Poles, Turks, Russians, Germans even...the list goes on, and that's only in Europe. In fact the French, Spanish, Dutch and German empires easily rivalled the British one for sheer size and, while we're accusing one country of being the only one to claim territories that weren't their own to begin with, how do you think the USA got so big?

I remember the last two play-offs being pretty good, free-flowing games, so it's possible. Uruguay aren't the best side to watch in the world though, so it's probably not entirely likely.

Spain or Holland, I have no idea. I think Netherlanders have been rude and rough in the field. Lets see who holds the cup high.

I don't know about that, they were very good going forward at this world cup. In fact they were one of my favourite teams to watch. Traditionally the Germans aren't a great team to watch but I don't think you can say the same this year.

Germany this year played how they always play, effective football and two good strikers that can score goals...........its not always pretty but its results that count.
