Quote:I think the true-second playoff is a nice idea but unlikely to happen.


FIFA won't want their showpiece final diluted by an extra match being played after it. And from the interviews I've read, the players and coaches don't feel the need for a third place match as it is.


Argentina are the runners-up, because like it or not, they reached the final. And we already know they are better than the third placed side because because they've beaten the third placed side (the Netherlands). That's probably enough, although I'm all for having more World Cup !


Can you imagine the Denver Broncos being told they have to play another match after losing the Super Bowl ?
