Why does this game still exist?
I literally cannot tell you one of the last 5 winners.

If FIFA had any integrity, they would rename this to the "fourth-place match".

If we assume that football results are transitive, which is the entire premise that all knockout competitions are based on, then suppose we have the following results:
Semi-final 1: Team A beats Team C
Semi-final 2: Team B beats Team D
Loser match: Team C beats Team D
Final: Team A beats Team B

We can then infer that Team A is the best of the four teams, because they beat Team C and Team B in a match, and if both Team B and C beat Team D then that also implies Team A is better than Team D. Similarly, we can infer Team D is worse than all the other teams and we can rank them 4th. However there is no way to determine who is better between Team B and C, since they have not played each other and there is no conclusion that can be drawn based on the assumed transitive properties of the other results. Therefore, it is impossible to determine which team should be ranked 2nd and 3rd. The only thing the "loser match" in this scenario determines is which team should be ranked 4th, hence the suggestion to rename it to a "fourth-place match" instead.

>>156736685
Don't care who plays this but it will probably be the most entertaining match since both teams will be angry they lost their chance and will want to vent their frustration on their opponent.
