3rd Place Playoff I.e the game no one cares about. France Vs England.

Who cares, not even watching such a pointless game that should be scraped. What a risk of injury for no reason.

 

If you have to play it, put in all the players who didn't get much of a sniff and say have fun. No plan, just go out as if you are playing with your mates.

Both teams should get on the plane

Both would be fined, maybe banned from some gamea whilst Argentina can show poor sportsmanship with a political statement and get nada lol.

What is the point of this game? Seriously. 
 

I get in Olympics type sports, 3rd place and Bronze medal means something. 
 

But in football it really doesn’t. 3rd place game between the 2 losing FA Cup semi finalists anyone? A game between the 2 sides who lose the play off semi finals to see who was the 3rd closest side to getting promoted? 
 

Those are tongue in cheek examples as obviously the World Cup is different level. But the point stands, do either England or France even want to play this game? I’d suggest no they don’t. All about money though I guess.

Just hope Mbappe bags a load of goals so he can win me my golden boot bet

Woke up and I’m still not watching this garbage… maybe we play football but I wouldn’t care. Until we can do that in games that matter, I have no interest. Qualifiers, nations league mean shit, until you put an actual performance in at the top level on the elite stage. Right now this team they are jokers

Why is there even this game? What does the winner actually get out of it? No one remembers the 3rd placed winner. No one cares. 

 

Seems pointless and waste of fans and players time.

0-0 (after penalties)

Always assumed it was for ranking purposes. Agreed though, could just give the two losing semi finalists the same points.

Aren't International Friendlies equally as pointless?
