3rd Place Play-Off - announcement of line-ups France-A vs Argentina-A French line-up: Subs to be used: After half-time - Fernandez for Deschamps (giving more direct vertical balls and drives from deep) After 70 minutes - Cantona for Ribery (classic 4-2-2-2 magic square with Cantona as complete forward, Fontaine poacher, and Kopa and Platini in the advanced midfield positions) Argentinian line-up: Subs to be used: After half-time - Pontoni for Pedernera After 70 minutes - Bochini for Sastre Manager comments:
Big Soccer All-Time World Cup Final Benelux-A vs Brazil-B Benelux line-up: Subs to be used: After half-time - Van Nistelrooy for Rep ("Van Nistelrooy joins the forward line as a #9. Ruud Gullit performs as a complete inside right forward, with Gerets overlapping on the right flank. Cruyff now performs in a free-role from midfield, supported by the steel and covering of Davids and Rijkaard") After 70 minutes - Overmars for Davids ("Gullit rejoins Cruyff and Rijkaard in midfield. Overmars will play as a right winger: his pace and penetration will be key in getting behind the Brazilian defence and stretching their defensive line") Brazilian line-up:
Benelux-A 3 Brazil-B 2 (after extra-time) (Rep 27, Jairzinho 30, Ronaldo 60, Cruyff 80, Van Nistelrooy 109)
