Can the Green & Gold muster some inner fortitude?
Following their 7-1 humiliation versus Germany in the semifinal round, it seems almost inhuman to force the Brazilian squad to play in this contest today. That said, this will be the third time in 20 World Cup tournaments that Brazil has played for 3rd Place. If it means anything, and we are not sure it does, the Auriverde will look to push their bronze medal match record to 3-0 as they registered wins in 1938 and then again in 1978.
Netherlands makes their second trip to the bronze medal match
After taking Argentina to penalty kicks in their 0-0 (4-2) semifinal loss, the Netherlands are probably feeling a little better than Brazil - though not much. The Oranje , who have had a fair share of World Cup heartaches, final match loses in 1974, 1978 and 2010, are playing in their second bronze medal match. Following a 1-1 (4-2) loss on penalty to kicks in the 1998 World Cup semifinals, ironically to Brazil, the Dutchmen lost 2-1 in full-time to Croatia.
