In a tournament, getting knocked out should mean you play no more games. The losers in the AFC and NFC championship games don't meet the week before the Super Bowl to see who comes in third and it's silly that the losers in the World Cup semifinals do. Good news Germany, you lost in the World Cup, but you won the third place match. You still lost, but you lost a little less? Is this a global competition or summer camp? Third place only matters in horse racing if you bet the trifecta. I'm pretty sure there's no trifecta bet in the World Cup, but the way the thing seems to be run I wonder if all the countries get trophies just for playing?
