Take in the third place game

There are a ton of things which are great about The Beautiful Game.
The fluid pacing, the acrobatic scoring, the national pride, the nail
biting finishes and the grace of the play itself. There are also a
bunch of things which are just not: arbitrary extra time, shootouts to
determine champions, flopping etc, but nothing is weirder than the
fact they play this ridiculous 3rd place game. This is like playing
a losers bracket in Fantasy Football. It sounds like a great idea six
months before it happens but then it happens and everybody wants to
start a bunch of Bills and just go home.

I still hope the Dutch beat the Brazillians who seem utterly defeated
but really...who cares who wins this thing

Brazil really showed a lot of heart, pride, and determination today in their opportunity at redemption...NOT. ����

In other news, I scored twice today already. None yesterday, but today made up for it.

Updated score is posted below, heading into tomorrow's epic final. Only a spectacular Lionel Messi brace or hat trick can rescue South America now!

Me 40.5
South America 39
