Why is there no third place match in the euros?
Because it's an irrelevant competition
Wikipedia:
>The third-place game, widely perceived as an unnecessary chore, was dropped. [in 1984]
Because it's pointless. They should remove it from the world cup too.
literally everyone hates it
too many big teams for a bronze
Like the WC:
2006: Germany vs Netherlands for 3rd place both teams play like shit and don't care
2002: Turkey vs South Korea, both teams kill themselves to get the bronze

2014's was a lot of fun, even if only because the Dutch kicked Brazil's corpse.

Third place matches are stupid. They should be removed from the WC as well.

>Germany vs Netherlands
It was Germany against Portugal, but it was actually a pretty fun match even if it's always played with substitutes. The 2010 one was entertaining too and it had a fantastic goal by Forlan.

I think it's ok to keep it in the WC, the teams that remain have been in the host country for so long that they might as well let them play an extra match for a consolation prize and watching it on saturday makes for a nice light appetizer for the big event the following day.
However goals scored in that meme match should not count for the golden boot.
