Sorry traditionalists, but it's time for FIFA to abandon the Third Place Play-Off Game at future World Cup tournaments. The concept of pitting the two losing semi-finalists against each other to determine who gets the bronze medal is an antiquated idea. Not only is it an idea from the past that has long outlived its […]

Joachim Loew's side were out-classed against a Spain side that just didn't lose possession of the ball. Spain, up to this point in the tournament, have done very little to show fans why they are favourites to win the tournament.
