French legend Lizarazu publicly stated that he opposes the third-place match in the World Cup, believing that even second place is meaningless in the World Cup.
Lizarazu told the media, "Playing this game is almost like torture; this isn't the Olympics, where winning gold, silver, or bronze medals, or even second place, is meaningless."
"Losing to Spain was a huge blow to France. Everyone was dreaming of the final, and now this third-place match felt like torture."
