One thing is very clear to me: it is not our ‘destiny’ to win this thing, and we don't ‘deserve’ it in advance any more than anyone else. We will have deserved it depending on what we do out there for those ninety minutes (or beyond). We will create our destiny as we play it out. Or not. There is nothing else.
I'm fairly confident. Things can go wrong, of course — refereeing decisions, in-game injuries — otherwise football wouldn't be football. As Roberto used to say, “Eez football”. The journey's been terrific just to get here. York away to this indeed! I'm just riding the wave, and seeing which way it breaks.
