The players know it's a consolation match and would rather just bugger off on their holidays bury their head in the sand for a coupla weeks.

Yeah. I always think there's something unnecessarily sadistic about the third place match. It's no more than a spectacle of humiliation for everyone playing than an actual football match. At best both sides will play young or marginal players who didn't feature much before, but then it becomes meaningless to watch in terms of what we might learn. I just wish FIFA would finally show some humility and abandon the fixture forever.
