South Africa scrapes through with the third-place Bronze win.
Congratulations to both teams for their participation.

Goes to show the tough mental strength of our players, we made SA look silly during the PK shootouts

I forgot that is the rule, but still, I wonder why such is the case, though. Why not let the teams play the extra time, before the penalty shootouts?

Yeah, I bet the players, if given a choice, will prefer to not play the THIRD PLACE games. The motivation is no longer there, in many cases
