Game 63: Brazil-Netherlands
It's the twelfth meeting between the two nations, with each team having won thrice amidst five draws. This, obviously, is more of a friendly than anything, though it still counts as a competitive match. It's very likely that both sides will see major changes, though Brazil does have extra incentive to win after their spectacular implosion in the semifinal. One thing you might expect: starting roles for Memphis Depay and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar on the Dutch side. Other than that, it's hard to tell what the managers will try to accomplish this afternoon. It could also be the last World Cup appearance for a lot of folks, including the big three in front of the Dutch attack.
Conforming with its lack of relative import, there's no SB Nation preview for this match. But you've got nothing better to do, so join us here, sit back and relax, and enjoy the next-to-last game of this year's World Cup.
