Well, today was the consolation match for third place.
Netherlands (3) - Brazil (0)
Frankly, Brazil looked like they didn't want any redemption from the semi-final spanking put on by Germany.
Two minutes into the consolation match, it was already over.
Brazil ceded a second goal in the 17th minute, and never mounted a challenge until Netherlands scored a third time in the closing minutes.
The Brazilian national team will have to do some soul-searching.
Most teams would be thrilled to make it to the semis, but two straight dull performances made their earlier victories seem more like the exception than the rule.
Hopefully the final tomorrow (Argentina v Germany) will be a classic for the ages, as other than Brazil's sudden implosion, this has been a great World Cup.
Enjoy!
