After watching Argentina's complete thuggery against England, and them continuing to benefit from missed calls all tournament, I will be behind Spain 100% on Sunday.

it’s gotta be tough playing in the consolation game. I know it’s a huge money maker for FIFA, but what a waste of time for the players

See for me this is just whiny and pathetic. There are somewhere in the vicinity of 200 national teams who would kill to trade places with you, and all you can do is whine about it?

I get that they wanted to win the whole thing and they're disappointed, but it's one more opportunity for guys who didn't get to play as much. One more opportunity to get young players World Cup experience. And for both teams there are guys who won't ever play in a World Cup again, and it's one more opportunity for those guys. There's always something to play for.

Lots of England players not playing. Mbappe starting for France.

I get Mbappe is trying to win the Golden Boot, but if i were Real Madrid I would not be happy seeing him start.
