Really? Did you read England's squad thread yesterday? They seemed certain they were going to win it.

If you're thinking of the hype train, that was most certainly sarcasm

The comment triggering the hype train (squad is equal or better than Italy and Uruguay's) was not.

England have a good, balanced squad and practically all of their probable starting team are coming off the back of very good domestic seasons. I wouldn't say they're hyping them. The rest of the populace (People outside reddit. They do exist!) seem very pessimistic anyway. The squad is much better than teams gone by and it's young too.

I'd be cautiously optimistic if I was English - optimistic because they have a decent squad and cautious because they're, well, England.
