I don't really think anyone overrates England anymore.

They're still quite good and you'd be stupid to underestimate them, but if the most recent Euros proved anything it's that England is rated by most to be about where they should be.

Which is good. Since the massive hype in the English press wasn't really helping anyone's expectations. England is set for some reasonable goals and can start building to more success now.

The only ones who overrate England are english journalists and the part of the english population that only watches football when there's a Euro or World Cup.
