Was the 3rd 4th place playoff today?

It takes place tomorrow at 1PM, with the final at 7PM.

 

I will actually endeavour to watch the final, would be the first & only match I've seen this tourno!

No coverage of the 3rd/4th playoff on any of the ITV channels. I don't think.

It was scheduled for ITV4 at 12:45pm last week, they have decided to transmit Tour De France instead which probably get more viewers, the 3rd/4th play-off match from the Confederations Cup competition would hardly get anyone watching or any interest to be honest.

That's true, I very much doubt the viewing figures for that would be higher than the Tour de France.

3rd place result Portugal win 2-1 after extra time

I believe Cristiano Ronaldo didn't play in the match, did he?

 

I think tonight it will be a 3-1 win to Germany over Chile. Can't see Chile beating Germany to be honest. Germany looked very good in their semi-final against Mexico, although defence could be an concern though.

I don't know if Ronaldo played or not, I just found the scoreline on BBC Sports site.

 

Germany could win this in 90mins, with a hefty scoreline methinks, I'm guessing 4-2, could be an entertaining match to watch since Chile have been pretty impressive with Sanchez, but Germany has played well in this tournament with a young side.

It'll be an edgy, dull game like pretty much every international final IMO. I expect Germany will edge it 1 or 2-0.

Not edgy at all Dobbo been a good final but Chile seem certain to mess up in defence!!

Vidal is so good!

A bit of a mix and match of a game, first half was brilliant, second half was a bit of a mess with all the incidents, that elbow bash should have been a red card offence, that was a let off with a yellow card. On the whole the second half was a bit of a disappointment for me.

 

As for the next Confederations tournament with it been held in Quatar, I heard it will be ditched, as they won't play musical chairs with the national fixtures.

Lost interest after the goal, Germany weren't gonna concede.

Stindl :wub:

 

Great to see the Gladbach captain get a decent run at 'tournament' football and a few caps für Die Mannschaft.

Haven't seen the tourno but VAR looks horrendous.

VAR was horrendous, the worst thing that happened was when the referee sent off the wrong Cameroon player during Germany vs Cameroon AFTER he looked at the VAR system before having to look at it a second time and then sending off the correct player.

 

 

Germany are very much the Real Madrid of international football at the moment and with the amount of depth that they have in their squad they will be strong favourites to win the World Cup next year.

Brazil looking good too with their new manager Tiete!

I quite enjoyed the tournament, saw most of the games. The Portugal - Chile and Chile - Germany matches were very high quality ones despite the lack of goals and the other semi final was class too as Mexico gave the Germans a good game and scored the goal of the tournament. I think if the latter stages of the World Cup are similar in quality we'll be in for a treat.

 

Russia were limited obviously but they actually played quite well in the second half against Portugal once they took the attack to the opposition. I don't think they'll be quite as bad as everyone will predict during the World Cup but they'll get a hard draw whoever the opposition.
