Brazil's World Cup campaign came
to a miserable end as the hosts
were
convincingly beaten by the Netherlands
in the third-place play-off.
Goals from Robin van Persie, Daley Blind
and Georginio
Wijnaldum
condemned Brazil to back-to-back defeats
on home soil for the
first time since 1940,
following Tuesday's embarrassing 7-1 loss
to Germany in the semi-final.
As an added insult, the hosts must now watch on
as
their fiercest rivals Argentina
take on Germany for the chance to win
the World Cup at Brazilian football's spiritual home,
the Maracana, on
Sunday.
