Both countries have met before to decide 3rd and 4th places.
In the 1970 World Cup, Germany playing without Franz Beckenbauer (out with a dislocated shoulder) barely clung onto a Wolfgang Overath goal as the Celeste mounted attack after attack. How the Germans kept them out was a minor miracle in itself. Great, open ended game full of box to box action.
