Runner Up Game at 4:00 PM on ESPN.
Brazil vs Netherlands.
Brazil needs to redeem itself from humiliation at the hands of Germany in Tuesday's semi-final.
The commentator stated the Brazil fans where chanting obscenities at their players.
But obviously not for repeating on air. hehe
People forget that in Brazil, soccer is EVERYTHING, especially the fortunes of the Seleção, as their national team is known in the country. The two horrifying losses in the semifinal and now the third-place game is going to hammer that country's psyche for years to come.
So to sum up the score for Brasilians, they lost two embarrasing games, didn’t build the infrastructure they were promised, but they get to keep the bill for the expensive stadiums, (one of which was built in a city with no soccer team)
