I mean Germany, Spain, Brazil etc the big nations do they care for 3rd place, no of course they don't.
The team England put out clearly proves the game is meanginless, Jones/Delp/Dier/LoftusCheek/Rose all start who have been sitting on the bench throughout the tournament not playing.
You are stupid. Germany and Italy celebrated their #3 places a lot.
Hahahah england getting destroyed

Yet last time you got a medal was 22 years ago
Also 2m dollar price difference

Good thing you don't want 3rd anyway. Belgium obviously does.
E: although judging by the initial noise in the stadium, there's at least a few thousand Brits who want the third place.

You really need to stop trying make big d eal out of 3rd place, it is 2nd loser not even first loser. But when the teams or players you follow have little success you think 3rd place is a big deal. It is not, it never will be, go ask other people that aren't the 5 croatians here.

They celebrated it because they HOSTED the tournament and they lost the semi final which was "sad" and disappointing for them so they "enjoyed" the pointless prize of being called "3rd best team in world" lol
|
I mean, of course NOBODY wants to play this match because you lost a semi final
But to say the players or nation don't care about this match is... A little too far

I will get the broadcast figures for it, i am watching sat at pc with it on another monitor, whole neighbours all watching it last time are not this time. The viewing figures will prove this as well

Man to have this kind of arrogance yet having only 1 tournament in your entire history is kinda impressive
Gotta give you that
|
Teams do lose some inhibition in 3rd place matches, the last time one had less than 3 goals scored was in 74
|
Germany also celebrated their #3 finish in 2010.
Also Belgium are definitely giving it their 100% in this match. So they prove you wrong too pande

You are expecting to lose (and have been since the semis), so best way of dealing with that loss is making winning a "worthless trophy". There was talk in Holland like that before the 2014 3rd place match, but everybody, and especially the players felt afterwards that the 3rd place let them leave the tournament with a good feeling.
This Loftus Cheek guy seems quite good. Why hasn't he been starting before? If he's replacing Young then NVM, but seems better than the other players who got subbed out.

Many many many people around world agree with this statement that this match is worthless, from top coaches of the game to top players. It is played as a friendly basically.
Like i said people around me who are football crazy are going to watch pre season games today. I know Liverpool fans at Bury match, i know the guys in my office gone to watch my local side play which is division 8 ! Like i said the viewing numbers will be proof!

Obviously the coach thought the swapped players sucked in the semi finals.

No lol. Henderson is our midfield, Lindgard runs around and presses insanely. Dier is woeful and Jones got destroyed by Hazard in FA Cup final why would you let that happen again

Chadil pulled his hamstrong. Ouch

English dont respect football, thats what it tells us duh
