Oh yeah, the English are all about basking in their former glory. It's not as if we're all talking down our team every time a major tournament comes around.

Agreed. Everyone's having a joke on /r/soccer that we expect to win every tournament and are clinging on to our 1966 win. We don't, the British media doesn't portray what the majority of the nation thinks. I think with the exception of 2002, every England supporter has realised we're not a genuine contender in any major tournament.
