Pays-Bas
Le coeur n'y était pas. La défaite face au Mexique en demi-finale a visiblement laissé des traces sur les organismes et dans les têtes des Néerlandais. Certes, les hommes de Peter van der Veen ont ouvert la marque, contre le cours du jeu, par Mohamed Taabouni, mais ils n'ont ensuite plus fait grand-chose. Signe qui ne trompe pas, le meilleur buteur de la compétition, Sontje Hansen n'est pas parvenu à tenter sa chance une seule fois. Les Pays-Bas finissent ce tournoi aussi mal qu'ils l'avaient commencé : avec deux défaites.
France
Après sa cruelle défaite en demi-finale face au Brésil, la France était attendue au rebond. Les Bleuets ont répondu présent, sous la houlette d'un Kalimendo-Muinga particulièrement inspiré. Plus entreprenants, plus agressifs sur le porteur du ballon, ils ont pleinement profité des errements défensifs néerlandais. L'addition aurait même être plus salée si le poteau n'avait pas renvoyé la tentative de Nathanaël Mbuku en début de deuxième mi-temps. Mais qu'importe, la France a assuré l'essentiel : une belle troisième place, sa deuxième meilleure performance dans ce tournoi après le titre de 2001.
