I dunno,  I'd be happier with third than second: end on a winning note, don't have to watch a higher team at the awards. Hoping for the best.

You're not the only one. Bronze medalists at the Olympics end up less disappointed than silver medalists for similar reasons (with or without an additional game/match). I was going to look for an article to prove this point but the following WP article is even better because it reminds us of the beautiful response of Chinese swimmer Fu Yuanhui when she found out she won bronze. Here's the article: Why bronze medalists are happier than silver medalists, and other things the Olympics teaches us about human emotions

Here is the video of Fu Yuanhui finding out about her bronze: 'What??! Third?' Hilarious moment Chinese swimmer finds out she has won the bronze medal in the middle of her 'defeat speech' in Rio 2016

Well, it looks like I'll get my (sort of) wish. I hope the lads will pull it together on Saturday.
