It's funny watching the Euros talk about how Americans are shocked that there's a 3rd place game, as if we aren't completely familiar with the Olympics and other international tournaments and how this is common in team sport tourneys all the world around.
Even strictly American tourneys like the NCAA basketball tournament have had a 3rd place game. But of course, we scrapped that decades ago, because honestly, they're kind of silly and pointless.
And then you've got the fact that folks like Harry Kane aren't even starting and might not even play, which shows us all exactly how seriously the Euros themselves take this match...
Regardless, I'm still watching, because it's entertaining. Which is the point.
