The 3rd place game in the World Cup takes place today as Brazil takes on Netherlands. Brazil had a disastrous showing in the Quarterfinals, one that left the host nation embarrassed in front of the world. Even if they somehow mustered the energy to salvage a 3rd place victory, the magnitude of that loss will still be what they are remembered for at this World Cup.
My pick is for Netherlands to come out victorious. Maybe we'll even get to see another dive or two from Robben! Use this as your open thread to discuss the 3rd place World Cup game.
