Alright.
Well no. You haven't won anything for 44 years. So what the fuck do you have to shout about? If you've won 3 world cups in the past 30 years then fair enough.

Like I said, why should you be so proud of qualifying for the world cup? That surely must be an absolute MINIMUM expectation for ENGLAND.

Well England as a nation are pretty arrogant. You qualified easily in a mediocre qualifying group and now all I've been hearing the past couple of months is how England are going to win the world cup. I'm sorry, but fucking prove yourselves until you have such swagger.

Hearing from who? Give us some quotes. I can't recall any of the English posters on here predicting an England win.

As has been suggested by several people already, are you just mixing up the press and companies trying to sell products with the English people?

English media normally absolute fiends for talking up their chances, this has been by far the least talked up English side I've ever witnessed media wise. Obviously The Sun and the likes of Talksport are still talking them up, they appeal to the fucking spastics of the country but proper sports journalists have been perfectly realistic about England's chances.

You are losing your own argument. You should read your previous post and then RBF's response again.

Who is shouting about anything?

Mars, The Sun, Carlsberg, Nationwide?

Now i'm not sure with this, but bear with me. Perhaps, MAYBE (and I admit this is a long shot) PERHAPS they're shouting about England doing well so that some of the people in England (50 odd million, compared with 5 million in Scotland and 3 million in wales) might go out and buy their products so their companies will make money. Sort of like marketing.

Now admittedly i'm not a marketing executive but if Carlsberg did an advert saying "England haven't won anything since 1966 and probably wont win anything this year, but hey, buy our beer" i'm not sure if they would sell as much.

I could be way off the mark though.
