I think its good for Brazil that they have another game. You don't wanna end on that note. A bronze medal is an accomplishment after all. They will be eager to show that the other game was a fluke by having a strong game Saturday. That game is huge imo
 
A strong Brazil showing sounds good in theory but in practice, I doubt it

I can only compare it to hockey and curling in Canada. If Canada loses a semi, there are always a few (nave) people who trot out the same eager-for-redemption-in-the-bronze-game theory but it just doesn't happen. It's gold or who-cares? My tournament is over. Why am I still here?

It has been a pretty reliable bet over the decades, going against Canada in a Bronze medal game in those sports.

I would guess soccer in Brazil is similar but I could be wrong.

The one saving grace for Brazil is Netherlands probably feels the same way. Some obscure just-glad-to-be-there countries would find Bronze meaningful and have some good energy for it but Netherlands is probably pretty deflated right now too.

But not as much as Brazil.
 
Well without getting any deeper into any mind-reading based debating, I am hereby placing 2.3 cubic litres of air on Netherlands in the bronze medal game.

Who wants to come at me over this? Put your air where your typing fingers are and come at me, bro!

I do have Argentina in the final but they haven't played very well

Had Brazil as well but that went out the door in quite a fashion

I think Argentina CAN win it, but I'll be on Germany to win in 120 min

Both Argentina and Germany have done very well in horse years so it's honestly a toss up for me

I like Brazil to bounce back and win vs. Netherlands
