After looking at his players for a while, Dawson began to address the squad.
"Okay, guys, so the same way we've been doing it," he said.
"Same mentality, same standards. This game is no different because it's at home. If anything, it matters more because of what today means to the people in that stadium."
"I want us to treat it like a World Cup final. That's the level of seriousness I want."
Before Dawson could continue, Jake raised his hand, causing several of the players to glance at him.
"We've never played a World Cup final though," Jake said. "So we wouldn't really know how to—"
Jake hadn't even finished when the room went in several different directions simultaneously.
Dawson looked at him, surprised by what Jake was saying and deciding whether to be annoyed or not.
Ezra pressed his lips together very hard while Whatmough stared at the floor, knowing a single look at Jake might cause him to break down.
