If It Is A Fairytale Sarina, Stay Asleep!

Since our ancestors replaced fins and gills with legs about 350m years ago men have been kicking things and around the mid 1850's someone blew up a pigs bladder and they kicked that around instead and in 1966 the English men were the best in the World at kicking it into a net but the last 57 years have been barren for the men until the English women said 'Here, hold my beer' and joined in the bladder booting.   
Now it is only the castanet-clacking Spanish that stand in the way of Milile Bright being hoisted onto her team mates shoulders waving the trophy because England are in the World Cup final.
In front of an crowd of 80,000 baying Aussies and only a handful of English supporters, Ella Toone, Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo bounced the Matilda's out of their own Competition which is some small revenge for the recent cricket and the netball scores but credit to the Australian crowd, they went the full Flamin' Galah to try and put off the English girls but as we are in the Final and they are cracking open a few tinnies to drown their sorrow while whinging about how it's so unfair dinkum, obviously it never worked.
So it's on to Sydney and the whole of England will be in front of the TV for Sunday's 11am kick off to see if England’s pride of Lionesses can beat a very good Spanish team and make the serious faced manager Sarina Wiegman smile even wider.
In her post match interview she asked the interviewer: 'Am I in a fairytale or something?' but Sarina, if you get home to find three bears sleeping in your beds or a Prince turns up asking you to try on a glass slipper, than keep quiet and stay asleep until Sunday afternoon because we are enjoying this.
