SILVER AND BRONZE MEDALS TOURNAMENT - THIRD ROUND
NB: between second round winners (i.e. Spain, as the "best quarter-final losers") and the
teams to have lost against gold medalists Belgium in the final, the semi-finals and
the first round of the gold medal tournament; however, as final losers Czechoslovakia
were disqualified and Belgium had received a first round bye, only the Netherlands
(as semi-final losers against Belgium) were entitled to join Spain in the tournament.
Note that the team to have lost the semi-final against the losers of the final of the
gold medal tournament (i.e. France) was not supposed to enter the tournament for silver
and bronze medals (as illogical as that may seem). Sources claiming that Spain were
to play Egypt (as winners of a supposed tournament between the first round losers,
see below) or that the Netherlands were to play France (who allegedly could not play
because their players had left already) got it wrong; see the detailed file for all
additional information.

FRIENDLY
NB: the below match is often listed as one belonging to a "consolation tournament" but
such a tournament was not foreseen in the set-up of the official tournament and the
actual status of this match is that of a friendly (as reported by Antwerp newspapers
at the time). None of the other first round losers entered this fictitious
consolation tournament; only the team that had lost in the first round to the later
gold medalists was eligible to enter the tournament for the silver and bronze medals
(but as Belgium had had a first round bye, no such team existed); again, see the
detailed file for all additional information.

Egypt 4-2 Yugoslavia
