I'm actually hoping all this negative stuff works in Englands favour. Nobody likes being told they don't deserve to be where they are especially if they think they do. The one thing that always brings the best out of the British is backs against the wall so long as it's heartfelt and for real. It's not even a cliche I've seen it myself time and time again.
England can feed off that as a goal that truly unites them. If there is one way to prove your worth then giving your very best in a final has to be it.
It probably won't be enough to win but it might be enough to bring a bit of real passion back into the interaction alone game.
Finally I'm not a huge fan of 'the biff' but I'd make an exception this week. If I were to see that level of commitment return I may start wearing my England shirt again. I'm not being daft either, the Aussies have never responded well when teams get into them. They have gotten used to being respected with teams holding off allowing them to show off. You disrupt that sense of entitlement they have and they will lose composure and that's half the battle.
They won't look like supermen when they are being legally carried off by the bucket load. I exaggerate but you get the idea.
No respect - No backward steps - Never admit it's over
It might just work with a big dollop of luck
