You're the one who raised that as any kind of a standard, so feel free to find me a list of 500 great World Cup moments and point out that it's NOT there. You know, since you're the one that seems to think it's important.
I said that it was probably my favourite 3rd place match, not because of the play but because I loved the atmosphere of that game. And I also said that if you're not watching those games, you're missing out.
Feel free to continue missing out, I don't care.
I really don't see what the hell is your problem (again).

Haha, I think we need to agree to disagree about this one - no need for the anger.
I'm not missing out on these games - I will (and have done) generally watch any football game on terrestrial TV. My point was that I don't generally remember much of the action from these 3rd place games.
It was more in response to when these riots are going to kick off. You seemed to think that because Brazil still had 1 match left, it would start after that game.
I was more of the opinion that losing like this in the semi final might be the catalyst for things kicking off slightly earlier.
As far as Brazil are concerned, this is the biggest footballing tragedy in their history. No amount of goodwill from a 3rd place playoff win will change that.
