As a neutral (I have both Australian and British passports), I believe that England will win this weekend.  However, depending on who does eventually lift the cup, I foresee the following scenarios:



An English victory 
English fans boisterously celebrate their first major sporting victory for almost 40 years.  They do not gloat at the Australians but rather are just happy that they've finally won something after all these years of hurt. England have been losers enough times to realise that gloating isn't the right thing to do after a major sporting loss.  Instead, they dance in the streets, soaking up the euphoria, whilst consoling the Australians for a wonderful final and a brilliantly put together World Cup.

Australian fans shout how shit Jonny Wilkinson is and call the English team a bunch of poofters.  They do not recognise that the best team on the day won, and forget that England ran a load of tries past them earlier in the year when they were completely outplayed on their own turf.  They'll complain that drop-goals are worth too much and penalties aren't worth enough and that tries should be worth 11 points because they managed one lucky one and that conversions should be banned because their fella missed it.  They don't let the English enjoy their victory - instead, they remind us about when they beat England at soccer at Upton Park earlier in the year when the match was as meanlingless as Tottenham vs. Middlesborough on the final game of the season to see who finishes 11th and who finishes 10th.  They start spouting shit about all their other victories, like the Ashes and the Rugby League - like they haven't fucking gloated enough about that already.  And some smart arse will bring up Thorpedo - like he's the most exciting thing to ever happen to sport.  He dives in and then wins because he's got feet the size of most Australian's gobs.

Australian Victory 
Australian fans cheer and gloat about beating the English Poofters and that Jonny Wilkinson had nothing for them on the day because he is shit.  They'll say that Drop Goals should be worth the three points after all because they beat us by two points with a last minute drop goal.  They'll then remind the English fans of all the other victories they've put over on them in the past, as if they haven't heard them every fucking day since they happened.  Steve Waugh's name will be mentioned along with bloody Thorpe again and that Speed Skater who won a medal because everyone else fell over whilst he was in last place.  They'll chuck VB everywhere and then head to the Walkabout Bar where they'll all take their tops off and sing anti-English songs, forgetful of the fact that there's about a billion of them in England and if it was so shit, why don't they go home?  They'll basically make the English feel as bad as they possibly can because it makes them feel better that they've stuck another one over on us.

The English fans will hang around for a few more beers, disppointed that they lost in the final but happy that they did so well to make the final.  They'll eventually have to leave the pub because they are sick and tired of Aussies talking about fucking Thorpe.
