I don't think anybody believed that England would get to the Final. It has been nice for a week to dream and hope against all logic and expectation that we might even win it ugly. The record books say we didn't and that's okay. South Africa were the better team throughout the tournament, and during the match. I'm sure people are debating the try that never was, and will until cows come home, but the result is what it is. Well done South Africa!, who've got a much much better National Anthem than England's so-called National (but not really) anthem.
Update Nah, I don't like being sporting and a fair loser and all that. We wuz robbed. Aussie Television Match Official was biased against us - biased, I say. You Saffir Boys were lucky.
There, I feel a lot more quintessentially English now.
