My vote goes to the World Cup Third Place Playoff Fixture.

Won't be able to contain my excitement if England manage to qualify for this extremely prestigious match up !!

3rd place playoffs have been part of the world cup since 1934, just curious why this year's playoff warrants this title?

When you reach the place beyond thoughts, the only thing you'll find is love and the only purpose of life becomes to ease the suffering of others.

The 1990 3rd place game Italy v England was far better than the final the next day which was an awful scrappy borefest between Germany & Argentina.

Numpty, if you were a player wouldn't you be proud if you received a bronze medal at the World Cup?

Wasnt aware the third place play off winners get bronze medals.

If I was a player - clearly not - but if my team had just missed out on reaching the final of the most prestigious competition in world football, would be very difficult to motivate yourself to be up for this one.

Just my opinion though.

As a fan, i would have no real interest in this either.

Toss up for me between: FIFA's inaugural peace prize or, the recipient of said prize's 250th Anniversary UFC cage fight on the White House lawn.

Both should win on a total lack of class!

Unlikely IMO, but certainly not nil.

In any event, could we possibly stick Binface at centre back? He would surely be a great aerial presence for defensive duties, and potentially a threat from set pieces too? That bin must be a good foot taller than everyone else!

The World Cup Third Place Playoff Fixture is less the bridesmaid's prize and more a tip for the catering staff. It should be called the Look At What You Could Have Won game.

Never knowingly right.

Theoretically the same as a bronze medal match in the olympics. Though it does weirdly feel totally different

I meant it in general, over all of the torunaments' history not specifically this tournaments incarnation.

I'm with you, Numpty.

As a player, and as a squad, you were one step away from the best day of your life. It didn't happen. Now you're all playing for a compensation prize.

I think winning it might be a nice bonding exercise for a growing team that wasn't expected to win the World Cup this time but is coming (maybe), but for a country who compete and win regularly then it might be somewhere between a non-event and a burden.

For them, no-one's showing up at the airport for 3rd place.
