You can bet your arse club teams are calling these national orgs and demanding their high dollar players sit for this game.

Cape Verde played even through 90 against Argentina and Spain.

They are the true 3rd place team.

Maximize broadcasting revenue. That's what it's all really about. Same with expanded tournament. It wasn't really so cape verde or the little guy play, its about tv rights.


I guess the motivation for players might be the third-place medal and a performance bonus? I probably wouldn't give a shite though if I was France or England. If the US was in that game, frick yeah I'm excited for it.

Third place game used to mean something. In today’s day and age it doesn’t mean shite anymore though
