It's so that the World Cup contains at least ONE game that doesn't really matter so both teams can actually TRY TO SCORE!!!! Geez, I'm so sick of 1-0 games where the only goal is scored on a penalty kick! I want to like soccer, but it's so freaking HARD TO SCORE!! Make the goal bigger, or make teams play like 7-on-7 in overtime, DO SOMETHING!
By the way, I'm serious about the answer - look at the historical record for the third place games - there are always more goals scored than normal.

2 teams who's eligible for the final but can't make it. They have the chance to fight for the bronze medal.

Why any place after 1st.
If you do not win 1st you are a looser, no matter how you slice it.

because you cant just have first and second. you need the trinity. its like in the olympics, the podium is never just two, its three.
