I suspect that many people outside of the English part of the UK would be more supportive if the English team wins the Final, takes the bow, enjoys the day and then goes home gracefully. Unfortunately, if they do win it will be a never ending circus of stunts and I include our disastrous PM in the category of people who will 'milk' the scene for all its worth. I hear that already the victory parade is being planned, and no doubt the MBE's or whatever they give, are being made up as we speak.
If they do win, and I assume the South Africans will try to have something to say about that ambition, then to have won twice in a row is indeed an achievement, and will cause even more anguish with the folks 'down under'. That is something that will be good to see.
So, I wish the team well. I just wish the Press, Commentators and the politicians would just shut up, and lastly, keep the football fans away.
