It's okay

As Alex has so eloquently pointed out the two points just don't matter. I have just rushed back from the beach in the hope that the Black Sheep would be making a game of it, but I suppose they have just not figured out England's better strategy.

 

Clearly the superior team, England, have worked out it is important to not peak too early in a big tournament.  You only have to look at how we came through to dominate the Commonwealth Bank trophy.

 

All that matters until the semifinal is getting to the semifinal and all that means is finishing in the top four of the Super 8.  This game just doesn't matter unless you happen to be from under downunder. 

 

Also in our latest World Cup Football triumph in 1966, we didn't win the first game either. So there!!!!
