It's because the media hypes the team up, with no justification whatsoever, given the country's chronic underachievement throughout football history (Scotland has a deluded media too, to be fair).People worry about England being unbearable if we win, but we'd be far more respectful than everyone else is when we lose.
Other countries have deluded medias, but they actually have a history of winning things. You have guys like Ferdinand sticking his chest out and confidently predicting 3-0 hammerings in the first game vs Serbia - then you labour to a 1-0 win. And this happens in every tournament - they never learn.
There are some thuggish English people, but it's the same with most nations. Most English people are decent, and it's nothing against them. It's the delusions of the media and the hype of the EPL, and dismissal of 'lesser' countries.
For instance, I have read your posts on here, and you seem intelligent and thoroughly decent. It's nothing against you. It's the media and the King shaggers.
