Saturday represents disappointment for both countries, but a third place finish is still on the line when Brazil faces Netherlands. Where to watch Brazil vs. Netherlands online? AL.com has you covered.
Brazil will kick off against Netherlands at 4 p.m. EST/3 p.m. CT in the World Cup 2014 third-place game. Brazil was absolutely embarrassed in a 7-1 loss to Germany last week, possibly the most humiliating loss in the proud soccer nation's history. Netherlands fared a bit better against Argentina, but lost on penalty kicks.

What to expect in this match? It's hard to predict how much effort and energy either country will have in the third-place game. Brazil had a gutless performance against Germany, and there's no reason to expect much better against the Netherlands. After a pathetic defensive performance against Germany, can Brazil slow down Robin van Persie, Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder?
Will the Netherlands care about this third-place game? Its coach certainly doesn't seem to. Despite the offensive firepower, goals haven't come easy for Holland recently. It's anyone's guess as to what Netherlands will do against Brazil.
Prediction: Netherlands 2, Brazil 0.
